Hello and welcome to Heck Yeah Print Works.

I’m Amanda James, Heck Yeah Print Works' in house illustrator, printer, packager, mailer, convo answerer, and cat cuddler. I have always been a compulsive doodler, but I struggled to find a way to share those handmade doodles with the world. I pulled my first print in 2008 and immediately fell head over heels for the printmaking process. Screen printing and lithography empower me to create multiples of my illustrations without sacrificing the handmade qualities that I cherish.

I began selling my prints and local craft fairs in Portland, Oregon. It was an honor when my customers would tell me stories about where they would display my prints. A seahorse could end up in a young couples first nursery, while an owl became a birthday gift for a spunky grandmother. It was all so exciting! I couldn’t believe that my prints could become a part of other people’s lives and memories. In 2010, I took the plunge and opened Heck Yeah Print Works and I have had the opportunity to hear more of customers’ stories from all around the world.
