the “hughtrain” cube grenade

[Buy the “Hugh­train” print indi­vi­dually here.]

Another “Cube Gre­nade”, Hurrah!
A while ago, I announ­ced that we’d be making sma­ller prints avai­la­ble, based on the car­toons found in IGNORE EVERYBODY.
On June 11th, the same day the book came out, we announ­ced our first efforts: The “Ignore Every­body” Port­fo­lio Series Num­ber One.
Four silksc­reens, 11“x14”, limi­ted edi­tion of 100, sig­ned and num­be­red, $320 for the set.
So again, I’m deligh­ted to report that we’ve just made the “Hugh­train” print avai­la­ble for purchase indi­vi­dually. $100, plus S&H. Here’s the blurb on the gallery website:

It’s pro­bably my most famous car­toon. It pretty sums up my mar­ke­ting phi­lo­sophy. Like my friend, Seth Godin said:

“You can’t drink any more bott­led water than you already do. Or buy more wine. Or more tea. You can’t wear more than one pair of shoes at a time. You can’t get two mas­sa­ges at once…“
So, what grows? What do mar­ke­ters sell that sca­les?
I’ll tell you what: Belief. Belon­ging. Mat­te­ring. Making a dif­fe­rence. We have an unli­mi­ted need for this.”

I hope you’ll check it out. Thanks!

   “We have an unli­mi­ted need for this.” unli­mi­ted want, for sure. unli­mi­ted NEED, not so sure. in how many ‘move­ments’ can one per­son par­ti­ci­pate? how many ideas can one per­son get jaz­zed about? there is a limit.

   Our abi­lity to con­sume may be limi­ted, Bran­don, sure… but our appe­tite for “Mea­ning” is never sated.
