Spring Thaw

Hello friends-
Just coming out of hibernation to let everyone know we're alive and kicking..

What's new? Well, got a new screen print going in an upcoming show at gallery1988 in April; this one has been kept really quiet but I think a lot of people will dig the theme of the show, and hopefully the print itself. Of course I'll post more info when I have it.

Also, putting the finishing touches on the next microcosmicmedia release. To counter the insane amount of colors used for the show print mentioned above, I simplified things a bit for this one-- it was going to be one thing until it became another. Sometimes simple is best.

More to come soon-JC

Come rain, come snow, come hail or sleet...

The old mailman creed seems appropriate this week, as today makes 2 straight weeks of shoveling and ice chopping without a day off... even the snowblower seemed to roll its 'eyes' at me this morning as if to say, "Really, again?"

Wanted to let everyone know that last sale's orders started shipping, moving as fast as possible without damaging stuff.. I really appreciate your patience, hadn't planned everything selling out so quickly/having to ship so many tubes at once! If you have a question about your individual order, you can always shoot me a message.

UPDATE 2/15 - Just a handful of orders left to ship, getting all that remains out this week. My apologies to those who are still waiting, the upside is that a longer wait usually means an extra hbill or two makes it in the tube..

Anyway, hope you are all staying warm and enjoying some winter fun.
Here's a cool handbill I didn't get to show during the sale (around 12in)..this one's all about the wolf..  -JC

________________________

**PLEASE let me know if you have any problems with the order system, it's pretty rudimentary..

As with all screen prints, some colors/fades may appear slightly different than the examples pictured, it adds to the uniqueness of each print as no two are exactly alike. Please allow at least 1-2 weeks for delivery... I'm a one-man show and like to take the time to number/title/sign each print by hand, so I really appreciate your patience.

I do try to monitor stuff in real-time but can't be here every minute, so don't panic if something doesn't go as planned, just email me and we'll take care of it..

Details, details...

Here's some more detailed pics of "Sleeping In Light"
Hope to see all of you later this afternoon (Wed. the 26th) for the onsale. I'll make a new post here with 'BUY NOW' buttons for purchase when it's available:

 

Digging out some info.. and the driveway... and the sidewalk....

Hello friends.. well, another day, another blizzard. The new year has brought snow, ice, rain.. the flu--everything that makes winter in New England so exciting. Not thrilled that I'm still running behind (due largely to the ravages of the season previously mentioned), but at least I can share the date for the next release:

"Sleeping In Light" will go up for sale Wednesday, Jan. 26th (sometime after noon EST).

I'll post some better (larger) images of the print/detail before the sale date.

In other news:
The microcosmicmedia mailing list is finally live! Sign up for notifications about future releases and pertinent print news. Won't promise a ton of updates, only when I have something relatively important to share...but that's a good thing, right? I don't enjoy people filling my inbox with every little thought in their heads and assume other folks don't as well (if you want off the list at anytime, just follow the unsubscribe link or contact me and I'll do it manually).

Almost done with the artwork for next month's print; hopefully we can keep this ball rolling in 2011 with more regular print releases. Hope to see you next week, thanks everyone -JC

The end of the beginning

Have a great NYE everyone... can't thank you enough for all the support this year. Stay safe (and warm)... see you all in 2011.

Holiday Onsale is at an end...

Update 12/20 - Thanks to everyone who ordered, closing the 'store' up to take stock.. should have at least some left over when the new one goes on sale in 2011.

*SHIPPING: 99% of orders have shipped- anything ordered late today I'll get out tomorrow, should still make it for the 24th.

Again, thanks for the support everyone-JC

Some onsale news, and a look at the new print...

As promised, here's a look at the new print, titled "Sleeping In Light":












This image was created to make good on a promise made long ago to fill a specific spot on a friend's wall inside a tiny cabin, sitting on a remote lake much like this one. My thoughts of the place are most often of the late Autumn mornings on the water, when silence and loneliness seem to invade the valley. Even the stubborn oaks have finally been stripped bare by the wind, the pines have thinned, and the hard frost begins to take hold. The entire world seems on the edge of sleep, just waiting for the ice to come glaze everything over.

Although I prefer to post pics of the actual print, I've already made some of you patient souls wait far too long to get a look (minor elements/colors may change a bit during printing).
I'll make a loud announcement when it'll be available, and post a photo of the actual print asap

The second bit of news:

Onsale Time/Date Change! Was going to try to do it Friday afternoon, but a scheduling hassle has thwarted my plans, so... I'll put paypal buttons back up for a 'Holiday' onsale this Monday, Dec. 13th at a random time (most likely in the afternoon EST.) I'm down to just a couple copies of Sea Monsters, so I may just do a lottery to avoid overselling.

*Please note I won't have the new print above for sale at this time ("Sleeping In Light" will be the first print of 2011), but I still wanted to give those who asked a chance to purchase remaining copies of the older prints.

There will be one 'newer' print available--the golf-themed "The Fewest Things" mini print (see header image), and maybe an uncut sheet as well.

********
Also of note:

Been busy getting everything ready for a more productive 2011. Currently the plan is to do at least one screen print per month next year, and I WILL get a mailing list up by the end of the month so I can keep everyone appraised of the new releases.

In related news:
To all who have asked about subscriptions: still considering a few options on that front, I really want to be sure I can handle the production demands before I offer any 'print sub' options.

That's all for now... as always, thanks for listening.-JC

Shipping FYI

**Shipping FYI: Anyone who is still waiting on an overseas shipment--a few have gone missing/are taking forever. I do have replacements held back, just awaiting confirmation that everyone has received what they paid for before the rest go up.

If you haven't received your tube in the next couple of weeks, shoot me an email and I'll check on your individual order. Thanks everyone.
