Kirsten Ulve

I got a lovely packet from Gallery Hanahou announcing Kirsten Ulve’s upcoming show in New York on February 23. Entitled, “Pictures You Will Like!” “world-renowned digital pop artist Kirten Ulve brings a cast of cute and creepy characters with brilliant limited edition prints!” Lovely stuff in her portfolio, I’ve been loving her work for a long while. I definitely hope to check this out.

UPDATE: Some of the prints (editions of 25) from the show are available for pre-order through the gallery for $250. Additional prints will be available on the 23rd of February at the show’s opening. (Anna, thanks for the update!)

Binth One-of-a-Kind Prints

Love these one-of-a-kind prints, made by essentially test printing existing artwork Binth already has in stock. Saw it first from Grace last month but hadn’t gotten a chance to really look at them till now. Beautiful imagery and great color combinations. Buy your favorite before someone else does.

"Decline of the Lawn" and "Underwater Pudding", $45 each.

Urban Typography @ Athenaeum Press

I am so completely floored by this letterpress shop. The above images are details of the prints but I had to show them this way so you’d really understand how gorgeously rendered these are. Athenaeum Press produces limited-edition prints by Peder Singleton. The work up for sale now is part of his Urban Typography Project and feature a 3-color process for printing representations of old signage located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Gorgeous color combinations. I can barely get over it. I’ll most more soon. P.S. Nirali Magazine relaunches today. Apologies for neglecting this lately. You’ll see why when you see Nirali.

Clockwise from top left: The Egyptian, $125 (edition of 30). R, $75 (edition of 30). Classic Bowling, $125 (edition of 30). Utah Ice & Storage Co., $125 (edition of 30).

Dear Olive

Dear Olive letterpress studio has these gorgeous letterpress limited-edition prints of seashells. Each print is a reproduction of a 19th-century engraving, exquisitely rendered in letterpress. The level of detail is stunning. Love the range of color as well. Also check out their cards, many of which are based on illustrations from the New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar.

Imperial Volute. Sand Dollar, Sea Urchin, Scallop Shell. Channeled Volute. Solarium. Each print is $45 unframed or $125 framed. Edition of 250.

Eva Zeisel’s Magic Language

I have been coveting these limited-edition art prints by my favorite ceramicist, Eva Zeisel (in collaboration with Klein/Reid) ever since I saw them online at Apartment Therapy… A few weekends ago I was delighted to be able to see them in person at the Cooper-Hewitt (across from the entrance of the gift shop) and fell in love with them all over again. After lots of pondering about the purchase I finally went ahead and bought one! (Magic Language #2!) So excited!

"Magic Language #1 and #2, 2005, silkscreen print, edition of 300. Shadowbox, archival frame, 32x24" each frame. Purchased as a pair with same editioned number. $1,100."

Julie West

The work of Julie West is available for purchase at her online shop Sno. For sale are limited edition giclee, serigraph and gocco prints as well as stationery and tote bags. Her work has great line quality and the papers she uses to print are all gorgeous. Each gocco print, for example, is printed on its own unique sheet of paper. No two prints are alike.

Arkitip

Haven’t been to the design resource, Arkitip in awhile and was pleasantly surprised that they are carrying silkscreened limited-edition prints. Some gorgeous work on here, particularly the work from Evan Hecox.

Evan Hecox's Chinatown print.

We Heart Prints

i *heart* these people. they Tiny Showcase. We Heart Prints posts sales of limited editions of prints going on around online. Lots of up and coming illustrators and printmakers here.

We all do.

PushMePullYou Design

PushMePullYou Design is a very talent-filled silscreen shop devoted to designing and producing silkscreened band posters and fine art. I especially love the set of prints based on Aesop fables.

Tiny Showcase!

Tiny Showcase periodically chooses talented artists, produces one of their pieces and sells them in limited editions for $20. Each piece is around 6″ square and is rendered gorgeously on fine papers with cutting-edge printing techonlogy. The artists each choose a worthy charity to send parts of the proceeds to. Sign up for the newsletter and get alerts for when new prints are added Tuesday evenings. Buy quickly, they sell out fast.

Hot to death.

AntiGirl

Tiphanie’s work is a wild jumble of rich textures from food packaging, magazines and found paper… and it’s frickin’ gorgeous. Buy her stuff.

The above are the four prints I own (from left, top): Flights of Fancy, She's Eden, Break Evidence and Act A. Each lithograph is $20.50.

The Small Stakes

The Small Stakes is a silkscreen design studio in Oakland, California with a gorgeous portfolio of work. Most of the work are promotional posters for bands. Great color relationships and typography here.

Three of my favorites from the gallery. All seem to be sold out. Keep an eye out for new additions.
