Meet Silas Henry Reno. He was born on thursday morning, 7/28, at 7:18 am. Getting ready to bring this little one into the world, as well as renovating a new studio space in addition to finally emptying the old space (just 35 hours before the birth) has kept me from many things- mostly email replies. So to all of you that have inquired about various my morning jacket posters (I have good news & bad), or the many folks that have signed up for my mailing list either online or at events in the past few months, rest assured that I’ll try to make good on all of this in the coming month or so as I transition into a new space and into now being a father of TWO little boys. Thanks for being patient!

So this was a huge honor for me, and it was a fun project. My Morning Jacket announced recently with their new album Circuital they would be offering an official fan club for the band, called ROLL CALL. With the purchase of a membership, fans would get a silk screened poster as well as a t shirt (among other awesome things obviously). That’s where I came in. So in addition to creating the initial logo I created this poster and t shirt. I’m looking forward to seeing a few of these shirts walking around the LC when the band rolls through town in August.

Somehow was able to find time to buckle down and do an art print amidst busy times (art prints always take a hit during the busy concert months) for Pinchflat Columbus- an collection of 25-30 very cool posters by local Columbus artists. I should have the extras I have at Renegade BK, or online as of June 18th.
Find out more here.

So with a few days break in the action around here, I thought it would be nice to show some of the stuff I’ve been working on this year.
First off- The Independent’s Day 2011 Tiger. Independent’s Day is an annual event in September showcasing the best of Columbus (and surrounding areas I believe) in the worlds of music, food, & indie crafts. You can find out more info here.

As I get closer to event season I need to make sure I’m planning the print runs appropriately so I’m closing the remaining few subscription sales on April 1st (no April foolin’).
If you’re giving some thought to getting one there are a few left and will be available until Apr1 or when they sell out, whichever comes first.
Thanks to all those who have purchased already!

I know these types of things are generally offered in January, but I don’t normally get busy until March anyhow so I thought now would be a good time to offer this for anyone crazy enough to want it.

The details:
-Bakers dozen- 13 prints for $200, shipping INCLUDED.
-It’s a $325 value (more if you factor in shipping costs).
-You choose 13 prints out of however many I create this year*.

You’ll get the same number in the run, depending on where in the order you purchase. The lowest number available will be #6.
The prints will ship just twice during the year in July and December and will ship flat. For those in town we can arrange pick ups at events in July and in December. Unfortunately as shipping is included, and to keep this easier on my end, I won’t discount the cost for local folks (apologies).

Perhaps in years to come I can get a little more creative with different tiers and such but for now we’ll roll with just the 13 prints.
Who knows though, by year’s end I may be feeling crazy enough to toss in a t shirt or an extra print, but I’m not making any such promises at this moment, but you never know.
If anyone has any questions don’t hesitate to email.
I’m only offering 15, so go get one if you want. GO.

*the north market fiery foods poster is the only poster from 2011 that can not be chosen as one of your 13 prints.
also excluded are any prints that I DO NOT print on my end.

EDIT:
-Paypal will add $10 shipping- I’ll refund it immediately
-Ohio peeps, unfortunately you’ll have to pay sales tax on this (sorry).

While I won’t give him credit entirely (my wife and I have been trying to do a picture a day for years, and she actually is*) my cousin Nathan has inspired me to grab a shot a day if I can- skewing more poster/print related since my wife has the family shots so wonderfully covered.
Anyhow. Here you go:
GO
