Established by Rob Schwager, Tiny Bird Press is a small, one-man print shop. It's where I create limited edition, hand-printed serigraphs (screen printed art).
I used to screen print my own poster and flyer designs for various punk rock shows and concerts back in the 90's while living in Chicago. I missed the hand-made, DIY 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.

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.
