Howdy, 

I'm making my first run of artist-quality archival prints and a I need some help getting it to the presses.

You can take a gander at all the available pieces here:

Once you contribute, please email me at benjamin.allain@gmail.com to confirm which piece you'd like a print of.

A not-so-brief history:

Who would have thunk, but I suppose this whole idea here came into supposing sometime late this past winter one afternoon at the kitchen table in the home of my friend, a music-maker. I had never liked the idea of prints and having not touched the thing that someone has in their hands.  He said that he would never sell the master recording of one of his albums, but he would make available the albums. "An album is to music as a print is to an artpiece."

That's when it came to supposing, it became a reallife thing-I-wanted-to-do when more and more folks – really great folks – wanted to have my artwork adorn their homes' walls, but the only copy of the work – the original itself – was bravely cast off alone and unhinged.

I'd like to be able to share that with more than one person. While I do find something wonderful and singular about only one person and their close circle having that image in their home, I find it very comforting to know that a very few more may have a well-made print hanging in their attics.

By pre-ordering, you'll get a digital print (matte) of an original painting on +100lb archival paper, printed with archival pigmented inks. Depending on the package you select, you could also have the following shipped to your doorstep:

-a small (business card size) original drawing

-a hand-typed poem and doodle

-a randomly chosen hand-altered reproduction of my previous work

Once I recieve the prints, and make the original pieces to go along with them, they`ll be shipped. You can expect that mid-september.

And, if you're unable to contribute monetarily at this time, please share! That would be a real huge help.
