Cloudy Collection Print Editions
Volume III / Special Edition : Hanging with the Dead
It's the season for pondering the dead, be they friendly relatives or the stuff of nightmares. Seven artists indulged their morbid curiosities and created a limited edition of two-color letterpress prints. Get a set of prints, and you, too, can pick the brains of artists Natasha Allegri, Sam Bosma, Emily Carroll, Michael DeForge, David Huyck, Michael Slack, and Steve Wolfhard.
These seven letterpress prints are made on 5"x7" white bamboo paper using vegetable-based inks on a Vandercook press. Yes, that is 77 square-inches more print than usual - that's more than 45% more art than the 4"x6" print sets! Printed with all wind-power by Boxcar Press in Syracuse, NY, the edition is limited to 50 sets of prints.

Volume III / Special Edition : 2012 Calendar of the Impending Apocalypse
The end is nigh! Or maybe the Mayans just figured they would update their calendar someday later. Whichever the case, twelve artists imagined how the world might end, and what it might look like afterwards. This edition of three-color screen prints of twelve months you may never live to see was created by Emory Allen, Joe Alterio, Ana Benaroya, Kali Ciesemier, Amy Crehore, David Huyck, Adam Koford, Joe Lambert, Phil McAndrew, Luke Pearson, Vincent Stall, and Jaime Zollars.
A special note about this calendar: this is not a traditional, bound calendar. These are high-quality, loose-leaf art prints, suitable for framing, which also happen to have the months of the year represented. The prints are made on 6"x6" recycled paper using water-soluble inks, in Kansas City, MO, and the edition is limited to just 50 sets of all 12 prints.

Volume II / Edition 4 : Simple
Sometimes it pays to take a step back from all the tiny details and try to distill something to its essence. Simplicity can sometimes be used to gloss over something more complicated, but in the hands of a master, simplicity can clarify an idea so it declares its message more succinctly. On the other hand, in the hands of a master who also happens to be snarky, the idea of simplicity gets turned on its head, and turned into a great visual joke. Have it both ways in this set called “Simple,” with art by Graham Annable, Tad Carpenter, Jennifer Daniel, Tom Gauld, Blanca Gómez, David Huyck, and Lauren Nassef.

Volume I / Edition 3 : The Scarlet Lettering (sold out)

Note: These prints have two plates – one is inked red, and the other is a “blind deboss”, where a small amount of transparent white ink is added to the plate. The effect is that there is an indentation in the paper for a subtle texture or message, but generally no color. Also, this edition is printed on 2-ply paper to help the blind deboss layer to be a little more visible. It turned out super-gorgeous!
