Last week I blog­ged about a series of small prints I was wor­king on, based on the car­toons in the new book, “IGNORE EVERYBODY”, which as y’all know, launched today.
These car­toons above are some of the most vie­wed, and have collec­ti­vely been down­loa­ded hun­dreds of thou­sands of times. I know they adorn lots of cube walls, been made into stic­kers and of course, blog­cards.
These four reflect a lot about what I was fee­ling at the time I drew them, three or four years ago. How we all have a need to find “pur­pose”, and the stuff we do and the peo­ple we inte­ract with each day, in order to find “it”.
So today, being a day that for me is a lot about fin­ding my own pur­pose, I’ve deci­ded that it would be a poig­nant moment to make these avai­la­ble for peo­ple to own. You can throw away your yellow’d down­load and own the real thing ins­tead, sig­ned and num­be­red by me. An edi­tion of 100, sold as a set in a port­fo­lio, for $300 [Plus Ship­ping & Hand­ling]. In a few days we’ll be offe­ring the indi­vi­dual prints for about $100 each.
These are sma­ller ver­sions of what we have been doing up until now. They mea­sure 11“x14”, and can be fra­med and hung, or kept in a port­fo­lio to view or use for mee­tings and then put away etc.
They are all hand-pulled seri­graphs, and prin­ted on Rives-Arches paper. For those of you thin­king about collec­ting the work long-term, this is a good, affor­da­ble, and fun place to start. I hope to be making lots more of these port­fo­lio edi­tions in the future. Thanks.

   the hugh­train -
   I‘ve always thought of this as a glo­bal new mas­ter­piece -
   it‘s meant to look like an asshole right?

   I wish I could afford your port­fo­lio but I can’t.
   times are tough you know?
   I got a big laugh out of “talked”

   Hi Hugh, is the offer for the port­fo­lio still on? I know it’s over the 48 hours but if there’s a set of prints left, I’d grab it.
   Also, can you ship to Ger­many?
   Thx!
