Tim Biskup Kaiju Art Prints on sale information

No comments:


Awhile back, Tim Biskup released a stunning set of HUGE kaiju-influenced art prints, but they were priced at $2000 each, basically unattainable by 99% of the art-buying population. So he has decided to re-issue them in a smaller, more financially reasonable form. Starting Friday, he will release one print per week from the series. That same day, there will also be full sets available.

The on sale schedule is at Flopdoodle.com.

The prints go on sale starting Friday February 20. There are 5 prints and they are 12″ x 16″ Offset, Edition of 66, $100

Two more new Jay Ryan art prints from Edinboro

No comments:

a one-color job called "maneuver your donuts".



re: the issue before us. image area is about 6 x 7 inches. five plates.


Check out the new Jay Ryan art prints he did at Edinboro University. On sale details to follow.

Jay is not printing the lithos. they are being printed by john lysak and courtney lang at edinboro university, assisted by a handful of awesome print grad students.

They spent the weekend getting B.A.T. prints (bon a tourner, i believe, which means 'ready to rock'). the prints are being editioned now, and for the next few weeks.

Jay expects to have prints in hand around flatstock time, or soon after. (for the record, since they weren't printed at the bird machine, they are *not* part of this year's subscription.)
