The late great Richard Pepitone was the very first artist to collaborate with Vladimir at Funk & Schuster. A Provincetown legend, Richard worked in sculpture, ceramics, glass, collage, and printmaking for over five decades.

At the time they started working together, Richard admitted he felt stuck - bored from repeating the same forms & techniques. But after learning new lithograph techniques with Vlad, he said the process “breathed life back into him.” Vlad still calls that the greatest compliment of his career — and it fuels his passion to keep teaching and collaborating today.

✨ Interested in collaborating with Vlad? DM us to learn more.

Come see Richard’s works alongside many other incredible pieces at Rugosa Gallery tonight for the Funk & Schuster closing reception 🌸 taken in Rugosa Gallery by @rugosagallery

Who is Vladimir Schuster?

From Minsk to Provincetown, Vladimir Schuster’s story is as layered as his prints.

Born in Belarus in 1953, he first stepped into the arts as a teenage cameraman before serving in the Soviet Army as a Morse code operator (and winning 2nd best in the USSR!).

After immigrating to the U.S., Vlad built a career as a master electrician turned master printer — helping countless artists bring their visions to life.

Come see this incredible body of work; and meet Vlad!

No, though it was a beautiful summer day , she is not absorbed in a beach read . it’s June 24, 2022 with the news of “Rowe v. Wade”
I still remember that afternoon working with Walker , hence “Absorbed” came to be.
Like these present days - it’s too easy to find oneself “down the rabbit’s hole”
🌞 better to feel the sun shining down on this old straw hat of mine , it’s now enjoying it’s 18th summer 🌞
It was exciting to reproduce this print from my charcoal original with @funkandschuster .
It’s their first Studio Show of all their represented artists ..
Onward and many more!

✨ A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us at the opening reception for Funk & Schuster at Rugosa Gallery last Friday! ✨

Between the art, the oysters, and the overwhelming love from our Provincetown and Rugosa families, it was a celebration of creativity and community we’ll never forget. 🖼️🦪🌸🙏

Seeing decades of Vlad’s craft alongside the incredible works of so many talented artists, all exhibited together for the first time— was powerful and inspiring.

The gallery is open daily through Labor Day, and after that, by appointment.

Come experience it in person! 👀

“A friend of mine was getting rid of their printing press, and I asked Billy Evaul — the legendary white line woodblock printmaker — if he thought it was a good idea to set up a printmaking studio in Provincetown for local artists.

Billy said, ‘Sure, that’s a great idea!’

…Then he was a little shocked when I sent him a video of the presses being lifted into the studio by a crane. The machines were a lot bigger than he expected.

That was the start of Funk & Schuster.”

- From Vlad, owner & print master of Funk & Schuster:

Two lithographs created by Billy Evaul with the “big machines”

Come see them and meet the artist & print master

“Funk and Schuster’s growing collection of prints reflects the unique diversity and creative spirit that is Provincetown. Artists come to the studio with their own ideas, approaches, and methods which evolve throughout the process.

Vladimir Schuster works with artists from around the world to create high quality prints using relief, monoprinting and lithography”. taken in Rugosa Gallery by @rugosagallery

What is a Lithograph? 🖼️

A lithograph is a timeless printmaking technique that artists have cherished for centuries. Unlike digital reproductions, each lithograph is created by hand—drawn directly on stone or metal, then pressed onto paper. This process captures the artist’s gesture, texture, and energy in a way that feels alive.

Come see lithographs created over the last decade by dozens of talented artists and printed by Master Printer Vladimir Schuster at our upcoming show:

@rugosagallery continues to rep a collection of my work. This is a grouping of what they have in their collection from 2024-2025. You will see work depicting Provincetown, NYC and Boston. We are putting together a new show for the fall that will be more wild and crazy. But I know some of you out there love the cityscapes. Don't worry, I love them too! I can't wait to get back to painting more of them soon!

PS Rugosa Gallery is hosting their first event of the season Fri Aug 22, 530-9 pm, showcasing litho and mono printing by @funkandschuster , including yours truly.

What is monoprinting?

One-of-a-kind images pulled from an inked plate.

Why we love it: texture, plate tone, surprise.
