Shipping etc.

Hello friends,

Wanted to give everyone a fulfillment update on the Walden/art print orders: After a few marathon sessions, hands are aching, but finishing and titles are done...  

Update 5/17:  All but a few stragglers have shipped (no notices go out unless requested), everyone in the US should have their prints by the end of the week. 

*Also added a comparison pic to illustrate the differences between the show and art print sky details. The left one is the finished show version (one color clouds), and on the right is the art print with a second layer of lighter details added.

That's all for now, can't thank you enough for the support-JC

A few random prints at a random time...

All gone, thanks everyone

Walden Onsale Today!

Hello friends,
The onsale for the remaining Walden prints is happening today,  Friday, May 6th (sometime after noon EST). I'll make a new post with active paypal buttons at the time of the sale. See you then.-JC

*Contrary to info in the mailing list update, I decided to skip the separate shipping buttons this time.

Shipping will be a flat $6 (for international as well) and will be added automatically... much easier for everyone, life is stressful enough without extra mouse clickin'...

Some detail pics:

If your circles could be spirals, and your idols weren't machines...

I've been asked many times to do 'sequels' of certain prints (which is nice, since it means some of you actually notice the small "snapshot" character narratives I try to stick in there). 'Case for Sea Monsters' is mentioned most often in this scenario; after all, those two people have a nice boat, a serious sense of adventure and lots of free time on their hands (assuming the humpbacks didn't drag 'em down). It seems natural to ask, 'where else have they been?'

Since I was just as curious as anyone, thought it would be fun to check back in with the globe-trotting couple. The new print is titled Sinful, Windborne and this time, she goes first..

I'm also trying to honor requests for some smaller, 'standard-sized' prints, in order to make framing a less expensive proposition (can't promise they'll all be that way!) Size/color info on this one soon.-JC

A quick update...

Hello friends-
I can finally say that my remaining Walden prints are arriving soon! I'll plan on putting them up sometime after noon EST on FRIDAY May 6th (yes it was originally Thursday, but had to change it!)

Please check back later for more details, including my own pics of the actual printed matter.

Until then...
-JC

This is no ode to dejection...

 

"Required Reading" Show Opening - Tonight!

As some of you may have read, I contributed a new print to the 'Required Reading' group show at Gallery1988 in Los Angeles. The opening reception is happening tonight, Friday April 15th at the gallery's Melrose location. The show is co-curated by Mitch Putnam of OMGPosters and (recent Grammy winner!) Rob Jones. The theme is classic novels and judging from what I've seen so far, it's going to be an excellent show.

Which novel did I end up with? Didn't want to spoil the surprise, but here's an early rough sketch if you want to guess. It's a book I revisit often--as well as quote in my head on a daily basis--so it was a true pleasure to be able to work on it.

For those that can't be at the opening, the gallery puts up anything that's left up on their site the day after the show. I'll also have a very limited number of prints available at microcosmicmedia.com sometime after that.

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
