Linocut Artist

I’m Rich Fowler, aka Boarding All Rows, an El Cerrito, California based printmaker and linocut artist. My original linocut prints are designed and hand-pulled on a monotype press in my San Francisco Bay Area printmaking studio. I teach online linoleum block print classes, write block printing tutorials, research the history of linocut on the side, do public linocut demonstrations from time to time, and review linocut supplies like ink and tools.

In early 2020, I was a presenter at San Francisco’s Exploratorium, where I demonstrated the linocut process to visitors for an evening. I've also been a participating artist for the San Francisco Center for the Book's Annual Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival for which I carved a huge 3-foot linoleum block. I taught a linocut class at Kala Art Institute in 2023 and am on the Board of the California Society of Printmakers.

I participate in art fairs and gallery exhibitions in the Bay Area and beyond and have exhibited prints at places like San Francisco's STUDIO Gallery, the East Bay's Collector Art Shop, Gray Loft Gallery, Art Works Downtown in San Rafael, and the Marin County Fair.

Original prints are available for sale in my online shop. Every once in a while, I send out an email newsletter so if you'd like to keep up with goings-on, please feel free to sign up or follow my blog. Thanks for your interest and please don't hesitate to contact me anytime.

All the best,

Rich

P.S. Why Boarding All Rows?

I admit it, I'm ridiculously fascinated by airports and passing through them while traveling is something I truly look forward to. Whether it's enjoying all the amenities that Singapore's Changi Airport (SIN) offers, stopping over at tropical Honolulu (HNL) in the middle of the night while crossing the Pacific Ocean or just arriving at the international departures terminal at my local San Francisco International Airport (SFO) bound for an overseas adventure.
