Live-from-New-York Wednesday greetings, my collector friends. I'm a little woozy as I type this, still sleepy from last night's lateness. Our friends at Hunch, they of the aforementioned What print should I buy from 20x200? widget, hosted a fun little get-together for the burgeoning NYC start-up community. I skipped the pizza, but enjoyed comparing notes on our respective workspace hunts with inspiring entrepreneurs like Kenyatta Cheese and Zach Klein, both of whom I haven't seen in, like, forever. After that, I made my way further downtown for a perfect al fresco meal in the finest of company, which was accompanied by perhaps a bit too much wine. Ergo: woozy!
Woozy, sure, but I'm also happy, and (as per usual!) excited about everything that's coming up: Friday's opening of A Square, the NYC solo debut of 20x200 edition-maker and 2008 Hot Shot Hosang Park, next Tuesday's first-ever HHS! Confab + Print Trade and even the transcontinental flight that will follow hot on the heels of said event. Yup, I'm going back to Cali.
Unlike LL, I'm headed to my normal Cali destination to the north, San Francisco, the subject of yesterday's editions and also the town in which today's talented edition-maker Geoffrey Ellis makes his home. I met Geoff at our first-ever 20x200 Collectors Confab, held in SF at Crown Point Press the summer before last, where he gifted me with copies of his fantastic zine, Sadkids. It had been on my radar long before then, so I was really pleased to get a few copies of my very own from its inventor. As I'm always on the lookout for fresh art for you, I'm pretty sure I hit him up to do editions then and there.
Which brings us, at long last, to today's editions: Bowlers, Martinez, CA and Penguin, Memphis, TN. Geoff is so totally speaking my language with these images from his Horses, Dolls and Other Junk series. I too have accumulated an astounding amount of junk via thrifting and flea-market finds and based on a perusal of his series, I'd say we've got similar tastes in such things. But Geoff and I have taken different—yet complimentary—approaches to addressing our enduring addiction. I collect art and he makes it—photographs are exponentially more portable than plastic penguins, perfectly weathered vintage tin cans and aged artifacts of mid-century advertising.
We also share an affinity for printed matter in the form of books and zines. Admittedly less space-efficient than wall art, they're far easier to contain than the variable dimensions of second-hand detritus and exponentially more portable than either. Which brings me to my next recommendation: once you've snapped up a couple of Geoff's prints, head on over to the Sadkids site, and get yourself on his mailing list. Issue 6, the Around the World edition, is due in mid-October and his list subscribers will be the first to know when it's ready to go.
Speaking of ready to go, that'd be me. I'm off for the day and done for the week too, but fear not! I'll be back on Tuesday with tales from Hosang's opening, and some pre-party jitters as I look forward to that evening's HHS! Confab at White Rabbit. Look for me then!
