Established by Rob Schwager, Tiny Bird Press is a small, one-man print shop. It's where I create limited edition, hand-pulled screen printed art.
I used to screen print my own concert poster designs back in the mid-90's while living in Chicago. I missed the hand-made process of creating those prints. So, I decided to re-visit those days by starting Tiny Bird Press.
All the artwork for my prints is created in the traditional manner using pencils, paper, erasers, etc… as well as the occasional computer. Then, each print is hand-pulled by myself, which helps to ensure the highest possible quality in my art.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

One of my collectors sent me a photo of my Rosie the Riveter print he bought, all framed up. I love the rivet treatment on the frame. Looks GORGEOUS!
Here’s a snippet from that illustration I was inking that I posted on instagram a few weeks ago. It’s all colored, sepped and ready to screen print. It’s an upcoming tribute print inspired by Jack Kirby and Monster Magnet. I’m going to be screen printing it as my schedule permits. What’s a better combination than Jack Kirby and Monster Magnet….? Nothing.
the Remember When series - “One Small Step” - SOLD OUT
I have always been a huge fan of the “space race era” and space exploration in general. I had wanted to create a print that captured the feeling of awe and wonder that we Americans shared back on that night in 1969. When it was broadcast live on TV that man had first set foot on the moon.
I was getting ready to print last week when I heard that Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos had found the Apollo 11 booster rockets and was planning to recover them. I couldn’t believe that the timing of his announcement coincided with my latest art print. I’m glad that private individuals like Bezos are able to pick up the mantle held by NASA for so long and continue to try and explore space.
I hope that future generations can feel that same sense of awe and wonder and be inspired as I have been.

A little something I was inking for a special art print project that’s slowly in the works. Long live Kirby Krackle!!!
a small video for my latest art print.
In honor of Women’s History month, I wanted to create an art print of an American icon symbolizing strong women. One who epitomizes the hard-working, patriotic women from the greatest generation.
I have been wanting to do this print for a long time. I’ve been slowly working on the drawing for this print and for a sister print, for about two years. Rosie and the dedicated women like her and the contribution they made to the war effort have always held a special place in my heart. They helped build the bombers, which as a child, I became obsessed with. Now that I’m grown, their sacrifices have strongly influenced my artwork. As seen in my B-17 nose art bomber panel series. I can’t think of a more perfect icon that symbolizes the true American spirit, which my daughter can look up to and I can have proudly hanging in my own home. I hope you enjoy her as much as I have.
A tribute, to Rosie the riveter.
