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.

This is my latest hand-pulled screen print, “firefly girl”.
Fireflies. Lightning Bugs. Glow worms, etc… Different names, depending on which region of the country you grew up in, but they all meant the same thing.
Growing up in Chicago, June and July meant the lightning bugs were back! At night my friends and I used to catch them and put as many as possible into jars. We’d almost always release them before our parents called us in for the night. Unfortunately, since moving to Florida, we don’t have lightning bugs around here. My kids had never seen a lightning bug and hadn’t experienced the fun of chasing and catching them. That is, until last year, when my daughter went up to Illinois to visit her grandparents for a couple weeks. She went in June and got to experience the thrill first hand. This print is a depiction of my daughter’s first experience with catching and releasing fireflies.

The print is 18” x 24” in size.
Glow-in-the-dark ink.
The edition size is 40 pcs.
