Emek always seems to make great gigposters for the Decemberists. And this particular one is a home run for Emek in 2011. Its for tonights show in Redmond, WA and tomorrows show in Vancouver, BC. So if you’re anywhere near those areas and can score some tickets, I recommend you get there early in line. For those of us not as fortunate, there will be an online sale on a yet to be determined time. It’s a 17″ X 24″ screenprint with an edition size of 350. Stay tuned for more info…

Last Call: Amazing works still available

Towering at an impressive 46 inches, this print is a sure standout begging to be framed as it surely won’t fit in any of your flatfiles. “Bob Dylan” by Moctezuma is a poster done for his August 2nd show in Evansville, Indiana. Quoting the artist himself: “The poster is based on the song Ballad of a Thin Man, hence the size of the poster. The little dudes on the sides are representations of the characters from the song.” Very cool to see what inspires an artist to do such fine work. This print measures 11″ X 46″, has an edition size of 200, is a Lambda (digital) print, and it is still available for purchase for $40 HERE

Weekend Feature: “Heat Death” by Jeremy Geddes

Posters from the Past

During some weekends I’ll feature some notable prints long sold out and highly coveted. It’s prints like these that drive this hobby from a casual interest, into an absolute addiction. First up is “Heat Death” by Jeremy Geddes. Released in June 12, 2009, “Heat Death” was part of a series of Cosmonauts done by Geddes. And to this date, it is the “Holy Grail” piece for anything Geddes. It is a 11″ X 25″ Giclee print, with an edition size of 100. Original price $160. “Heat Death” did not sell out until late Feburary 2010. It’s amazing in retrospect now to look back and realize that it took nearly 8 months for this print to sell out. The fact that this print recently sold in an eBay auction for $2,205 (unconfirmed) really drives that point home now. However, neither points diminishes, or emphasizes this piece of art. It was ALWAYS a great piece. And now it is a classic.

Happy Friday!

Clever is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this print. Oily Boutique takes the mash-up concept, commonly seen done with popular music, and makes it into a visual concept. On top of that, it’s funny, well executed, and drawn very well. By popular demand, he is making a third version of his “JAWS/Peanuts” Mash-up. For those people that own the previous versions and are concerned about the value of their print, don’t worry. This pressing has “Third Printing” clearly marked on the bottom. Everyones edition sizes are still intact. This 3rd version has a run of 100, is signed and numbered, and cost $20. On sale now HERE
