ArtistSupportPledgeUSA

I've been posting work for sale as part of the ArtistSupportPledge. The #ArtistSupportPledge is a movement to help artists support one another. Begun by a UK artist, Matthew Burrows, it is now active in the U.S. To participate, artists post pictures of their art for sale, costing $200, or £200 or less, with the hashtag #artistsupportpledge. For every five sales an artist makes, or for every $1000 or  £1000, they then pledge to purchase a work from a fellow artist.

I think it's a great idea, and it is excellent timing for many of us. I am posting on Facebook, but also including the art for sale here. They are priced at $140 to $180, plus shipping and handling. I will charge the buyer for shipping and handling, but count it towards the $1000 goal. All are ready to hang without framing. Email me at metamer@protonmail.com if interested.

I have been moving between a pc and a mac, and some of the photos are slightly darker than the actual paintings.

Buy stamps, send mail, be of good cheer

You are old, Father William...
The press is great fun, also for generating collage material.

If you were to receive a zine in the mail, randomly, without requesting it, how would you feel?

In bits and pieces

Well, it is the start of Year Four of The Metamer Quarterly. From inside the paused NY state, I am trying out the Vandercook Proof Press that we brought from Colorado, and trying to restart the Metamer. For now, I am circling. Making 6 x 6 squares as an exercise in discipline.

Issue #8 of The Metamer Quarterly

Issue #8 ships soon. And Issue #9 will follow shortly after. For more information, please email Lara Scott at metamer@protonmail.com
