Jeff Wood 'Dose' + 'Zone' Upcoming Print Release

Jeff Wood 'Dose' + 'Zone' Edition of 225 Size: 15 x 22 Inches

Here is the latest from Faded Line and Jeff Wood.

Working with Idols I've never been one to be drawn to American idol, but I do understand what having idols is all about. This Spring I got to work with two of my idols, Stanley Mouse and Jay Blakesberg. Both have been inspirations to many artists and photographers other than myself. In fact I would say that these two guys have inspired generations of creative folks like me. I think the best compliment is for your work to inspire others and inspire me they do. This little adventure began when my friend Shady Backflash aka Matthew Rick of the Blotterati approached me about taking Stanley's "I need a Brain" blotter art and doing an homage of the Obey Obama poster. He wanted to call it "DOSE". We both got a chuckle out of the idea so he sent a rough idea to Stanley. Stanley wrote back and thought it would be a cool print and said "go for it". Now, let me stop right here and explain what it means when one of your idols, an American pop art icon and one of the people who basically inspired you to become an artist, wants to work with you. I was walking on air to say the least. It was hard keeping my "fanboy" in check. So I proceeded to work up the final art and print the piece. The print run turned out really nice. It is a 250 piece edition, 15"x22", three color screen print on French Speckletone Cream paper. I signed them and then shipped them off to Stanley for that magical hieroglyphic Mouse signature, which is a work of art on it's on. Upon completion some were shipped to Govinda Gallery in Washington, DC where Stanley was having a show. The rest have been shipped to The Faded Line for release on June 5th. Now that Shady had made a Mouse collaboration possible, he approached photographer Jay Blakesberg about doing a print using some of his Dead photography. I was elated. Jay is an icon in the rock an entertainment photography world with his work gracing the covers of most all music related magazines including Rolling Stone. We decided to use a photo of Phil Lesh taken a few years ago and do a "ZONE" print to match the Mouse DOSE print. The print is signed by myself and Jay an is limited to a 225 piece edition. There you have it. It has been a great Spring so far and getting to work with two of my heroes made it all the better. We are happy to announce the release of two highly anticipated art print collaborations from Drowning Creek Studio! These prints will be available on Friday June 5th at 2:00 EST. More on the two print releases info can be found here!!

[caption id="attachment_2338" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Justin Hampton 'Red's Attraction To Others' Edition of 100 Size: 18 x 24 Inches $65/Set"][/caption]

Here is the latest from Justin Hampton it is part of a ongoing multiple release called 'Grimm Recollections' This is part #1, which is a two print set, both are eight color screen prints on 100 lb acid free paper stock measuring 18 x 24 inches. Signed by both creators and numbered in an edition of only 100 copies for $65/set. These will become available Friday June 5th at 3pm EST. From Justin: The story behind the story "After much adieu I'm pleased to finally announce 'Grimm Recollections: A Modern Retelling of the Grimm Fairy Tales. The concept was developed by myself and New York writer Andrea Grant also known as the 'Pin-Up Poet'. Our collaboration is a retelling of classic fairy tales with a modern, twisted slant in a collaboration of 12 illustrated poems. Each piece consists of 2 limited edition prints per story released simultaneously. Andrea and I met in New York City in September of 2005 at a Neil Gaiman 'Save CBGB's' reading the day after my showing with P.N.E (Post Neo Explosionism) at the CBGB 313 Gallery. We quickly realized we shared a very similar aesthetic and began scheming a creation to sink our creative teeth into. Our version of the stories are set in modern day New York City and reflect the cultural diversity and tone of the greatest urban landscape in the world while maintaining the essence of the original tales. The stories are designed in a classic fairytale book format and will read side to side as though turning the pages in a tome that you can walk through. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did in making it."  - Justin & Andrea
