Artist Jane Kim was born in Chicago and now lives and works in Oakland, CA. This limited-edition print is her collaboration with Berkeley-based letterpress studio Olive-Route, which designs and prints lovely work, including stationery, art prints, and event invitations, sometimes in collaboration with other artists. See more examples of the studio’s work in its online shop.
