I am Addie Best, I live in Midcoast Maine with my cats Tove (toe-vah) and Snorkmaiden in the sweetest and slightly decrepit little victorian cottage that holds my whole heart. I work full time making prints and in my spare time I’m enjoying motor sports with friends, lying by the pond, ice skating or thinking about my house or working on my house. I started selling prints in earnest in 2019 and feel mighty lucky that this little business continues to fully supports me. Thank you.

I have a BFA in printmaking from RISD but/and I firmly believe that you don’t need a degree to be a full time artist.

I print all my prints on a vandercook no 4.

Also a part of this tiny operation are sweet Chip who packs almost all the orders and sweet Mia prints nearly every single patch that passes through these parts and can sometimes be found addressing envelopes. We move slowly. We prioritize rest. Thank you for your patience with us as everything passes though our hands with care and time.

If you’d like to support me outside of my shop or following me on social media, be sure to check out my Patreon or subscribe to my newsletter. I am constantly trying to find a balance of what feels right to share on the internet when all I want to do is spend my time not on the internet.

thanks to my friend Autumn for these photos
