About Bloodshot Press

Bloodshot Press was originally created by screenwriter Alicia Gronke. Alicia desperately turned to writing when her kids were on a particularly neurotic spree during Spring Break 2002. They were bored and doing the usual sibling thing: "She's LOOKING at me!" "He's pulling my HAIR!" Alicia could have followed the advice of any number of parenting books and made an attempt to mediate their dispute. Fortunately, she instead chose to tune them out and start writing. The sarcastic, occasionally bitter, often emotional results were the first Bloodshot cards. Alicia took these fruits of her labors to a local card shop. The owner took a long look. Her response? "What took you so damn long?!" In 2010, Mackenzie Jeans, owner of fellow card company Allport Editions and friend of Alicia, adopted Bloodshot Press. Since then “BS” has become known as the naughty little sister of the Allport Editions family. Using mostly family photos and a few dashes of wry wit, Bloodshot your go-to line for wicked humor. As Alicia always says: “laughter is contagious—infect someone today!” Read their story
