New print release! One of the most frequent requests that we get is for larger print sizes. We are very happy to say that bigger is coming! Starting with this week’s edition, we are adding an 11″x14″ print size to the print editions produced by The Working Proof, which will sell for $60. 8″x10″ prints will still be sold for $35 each. As always, 15% of each print sold will be donated to the charity of the artist’s choice…And, in the very near future, we will be adding ready-to-hang, even larger editions (up to 30″x40″!). Stay tuned for that announcement soon!
This week’s edition is by Judy Kaufmann, a Chilean artist living in Barcelona. My Home and the City is an illustration that was inspired by Judy’s childhood neighborhood in Chile, which was full of beautiful, small houses, all of which were similar to one another. I love the misty haze that covers the print, cloudy like a memory.
15% of each print sold will be donated to the The Shama Foundation. Read our interview with Judy here, and buy the print here.

New print release! The People I’ve Known & The Places I’ve Been is a limited edition print by Ryan Bubnis that is “about all the people, situations and environments that have impacted your life. Good or bad, it’s about the things that have helped shape you and have made you into the person you are today. It’s your story and personal history.”
15% of each print sold will be donated to Teach For America, because of Ryan’s belief that poverty shouldn’t limit your educational opportunities. We should all be given a fair shot to succeed. Read our interview with Ryan here, and buy the print here.

New print release: We’ve been longtime admirers of Berkley Illustration and their fun Animals in Suits series. With spring right around the corner, we are thrilled to release this brand new print, Chlorophyll Bill, which features a neutral, earthy figure who is sprouting colorful plants, branches, vines and flowers out of his beard and hat.
15% of each print sold will be donated to Farm Sanctuary, because Ryan, as a vegan and animal lover, wanted to support Farm Sanctuary’s work in giving rescued animals from farms and slaughterhouses a second chance at life. Read our interview with Ryan here, and buy the print here.

New print release! Ching Ching Cheng’s print, Love, is about the complexities of love – the ups and downs, the passion and the struggles. I love the simplicity of the shapes, and the complexity of the idea.

Richard Diebenkorn is one of my favorite artists and his Ocean Park series captures so much of what I love about the depth of art and architecture. This print of Ocean Park 116 is a pretty good deal that comes framed up at MOMA.

New print release! Chinese New Year was a few weeks back, and it is the Year of the Dragon, considered to be the luckiest year in the Chinese Zodiac. We thought it would be fun to celebrate by releasing this print by Will Scobie – Midnight’s Dragon.
I chose a dragon for this piece, because visually dragons are really inspiring to draw, being made up of lots of interesting shapes and lines. In my work, I am always aiming for graphic simplicity that incorporates different ideas, but I also try to keep a fun feeling by adding unusual details.
15% of each print sold will be donated to American Forests. Read our interview with Will here, and buy the print here.

And, the sketch that led to the print.

New print release. We love OSoo’s detailed and colorful watercolors of animals, and the whimsical, architecturally-inspired details she weaves into her artworks. Deer is our 2nd print edition with OSoo.
The deer and its antlers reminds me of what it is like to be feminine and how fabulous nature is. The antlers are iconic and I wanted to represent them in a certain way that encapsulates my current interests in material qualities, fashion, style, and patterns of the Art Deco period.
15% of each print sold will be donated to Doctors Behind Borders. Read our interview with OSoo here, and buy the print here.
