Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Inkwell’s Press (R.I.P.) has been grafted into a curiously creative consortium along with Mariposa Pictures, Mariposa Records, and Mariposa Travel. We have undertaken a formidable rebranding effort to reflect the shared vision and unified strength of each eclectic branch within our growing family (business) tree — House of Mariposa.

The Inkwell’s Press moniker has changed, henceforth to be known as Mariposa Press, but our commitment to providing artistic direction, beautiful design, and time-tested craftsmanship remains the same. As before, we’re still offering creative services and handcrafted goods. Plus, we’re also cooking up some new offerings! In the meantime, grab a bargain bundle!

  • We specialize in illustration, printmaking, and graphic design, including logos, packaging, and marketing materials.

  • We take commissions and welcome collaborations, whether it's limited edition art prints, hand-bound journals, or a small batch of custom books. And soon we plan to restock our online shop with a new collection of goods.

Since 2008, Mariposa Pictures has been an ongoing experiment in community based filmmaking that seeks to inspire child-like wonder. Our projects offer a collaborative experience that pairs the wild imagination of young people with the support of a talented team and a creative mentor to help guide the process. Watch our movies!

  • Whether it’s a music video, a commercial, social media content, or behind-the-scenes promos, we can assemble the right team for each unique project to ensure that your content truly resonates with your audience.

  • We’re also available for directors/cinematographers who film their own footage, but need help giving content the final polish of an engaging edit and compelling look.

  • From award-winging sci-fi to fun-filled mini-documentary, we’ve been making short films for over 15 years. It started with our little family making movies together as a way of being playful and celebrating the seemingly "little" moments. And that sense of child-like wonder is a value we still embrace when making movies together with friends and family.

Rooted in a shared love of music from one generation to the next, Mariposa Records was established as a music collective for the young and old alike. We write, produce, record, mix, and master in an eclectic range of styles.

  • We help independent artists release their music into the world. And we’re excited about the growing talents of our collective including Nightshade Mary, Ridco, The Tomatoes, with more artists and new music coming soonish!

  • Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind song personalized for the special people in your life, or a catchy advertising jingle, we can write and record studio-quality music customized for you.

  • We can turn your songwriting ideas into quality audio recordings by combining resourceful production and creative mixing in a variety of musical genres.

Before a new adventure, my husband (like his father) will always say, “We quest for adventure.” Mariposa Travel has become a way to remember, document, and share our adventures in travel—and help others do the same. We enjoy planning family trips, writing about our adventures, and editing travel clips into memorable videos.

  • Looking for the ultimate travel souvenir? We partner with Mariposa Pictures to turn the memorable moments you captured on video into fun and exciting travel movies. Keep them for yourself or share with your friends and family!

  • Whether you’re looking for beautiful destinations or just need some practical travel tips, we hope our blog will inspire you to quest for new adventures. Stay tuned for new posts.
