Posters & Prayers is throwing a benefit for Mike Amann which will feature the prints of artists, designers, illustrators and photographers in mystery tubes for a $20 donation. There will also be a raffle that will include prints from Shepard Fairey, Ron English, as well as original artwork and autographed Cincinnati Reds items (Mike is a huge Reds fan). All proceeds from art sales and 20 percent of the dinner and drink sales will assist the Amann family in offsetting medical expenses. The event will also feature a special brew available the night of named in Mikes honor.

The BLDG editions Print Release by Mike Amann

Mike Amann
Turkey Days
Size: 15"X22"
Edition: 40
Specs: 5 color hand-pulled screen print on 290 gsm cotton paper. Printed with Wild Turkey bourbon. The print is $35.

The BLDG is very proud to bring you this print by resident studio artist Mike Amann. Amann has produced a series of prints titled Anything Goes in which he physically incorporates his subject matter into the print. Not so oddly enough the first print involves bourbon, lots of it. For this first print titled Turkey Hill, Wild Turkey bourbon was mixed into each of the 5 colors. For all those who are wondering, yes this print does in fact smell and taste like bourbon.

The print will be released August 25th at 1:00PM EST at www.BLDGrefuge.com.
