The limited edition GICLEE prints are printed on exceptional ‘Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta a-Cellulose Bright White High Gloss archival paper’ 325 gsm (18’’ x 24’’ / A2). Each individual print will be numbered and come with a seal on the back signed. 

Only 500 copies of each image will be created.   

Following on from our successful exhibition with ATP in London in 2014 / 2015, we plan to once again join forces for this worldwide project with the same DIY ethic as the MY RULES, Covent Garden full building exhibition. Plans for the exhibition to travel to Barcelona, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Tokyo, Melbourne, Los Angeles and New York City are already in the works. Crowd sourcing revenue to make these happen via print sales keeps the integrity of the show at a premium. 

Each supporter who purchases a print will be contacted when the shows are confirmed and invited to choose which city they would like to attend the pre-opening night, showing. I will be attending these special openings and can personalise any prints that anyone has purchased.

Surprise revival in UK printed book sales, with ebooks dipping

from BoingBoing

Ink on paper is a better product, at least for now, and it's showing at British tills. Sky UK's Lucy Cotter reports the first better year for print since 2007, and the worst one for ebooks since 2011.

Last year saw the first rise in sales since 2007, while digital book sales dropped for the first time since 2011.

Betsy Tobin, who runs the independent bookshop Ink@84 in Highbury, London, offers her customers a personalised service.

The bookshop offers coffee and alcohol and runs events and special author evenings.

Diversifying is part of her success but she says her customers also like buying in person rather than online.

They take pleasure from handling and owning books, she said.

I wonder if this has something to do with how well-run major UK bookstore chains are (small stores in high-traffic areas) compared to American ones (strip-mall big boxes, full of trashy ancillary merch and empty of foot traffic.) The literary retail culture there makes people want to drop in and fuss around with books, while the one here just means no-one is ever in a bookstore in the first place, so they just order stuff on Kindle.

One of my prints is on Charity Buzz to benefit PS41 Elementary school of my son and alma mater of Ad Rock.

AUCTION ENDS TODAY 3:40pm EST




I've donated an 11x14 museum quality print of mine to raise money for Public School 41 (PS41), The Greenwich Village school. My son just started here this year, and it's the alma mater of Beastie Boy "Ad Rock" and Robert DeNiro among many others. The print is signed by Adam and myself.

Every year the school does an auction to raise money for all the great things PTA boards do for the kids of the school (Arts, Dance, Science, Gym, etc. that the public school system no longer has enough money to support). So we parents and friends of the school do our part to pick up the slack.

Being that it's Adam's alma mater, I decided it would be cool to donate one of my original pre-'glory' portraits of the Beastie Boys, from 1986, taken just a few blocks away in Washington Square Park, to this years auction.

The bidding starting way below the actual value of the print, as i type this it's still a bit below it's actual value without Adam's signature.. so I thought some Beastie fan, person of good will, or some one you know might be interested. I also believe that whoever wants can own this print and get a tax deduction for contributing to the school at the same time!

You decide if it's for you or not, but as ODB once proudly proclaimed "Wu-Tang is for the children!"- Hope one of you can be too.

thanks!
