Favorite Things
Ok, two of my favorite things have collided in a brilliant way and I’m very exited to share! I have long had a very soft spot in my heart for the work of talented, Rhode Island recently moved to Washington state, artist Jen Corace who illustrated my web shop and continues to create thoughtful, poignant and child-like imagery. She has partnered up with the amazing Tiny Showcase to release the following 8″ x 10″ Oceans Don’t Freeze print. Tiny Showcase is a great operation that partners with artists to create very affordable prints. Most editions sell out the day they are released but this un-editioned Corace print will be available for a full season. And as part of their standard operating procedure, TS allows the artist to select a charity to receive a portion of their prints proceeds. Jen has selected the United Nations Children’s Fund who will receive 10% from each sale of this print.
The Oceans Don’t Freeze print was created from an original work currently being exhibited as part of Jen’s show I Told You So at Giant Robot in New York. This is a brilliant body of new work which includes the piece Sitting, Staring, Thinking seen below (with the jackelopes and patterned wall paper).
Tiny Showcase also has some tees still available with Jen’s image Paper Boats. Two color-ways available on American Apparel shirts for $20. each.
And a little final show and tell. Jen also created the image Dress ‘em Up to benefit the annual handmade sale and exhibition Craftland. TS released it for a limited time in print form and while it’s no longer available on their site they say it’s still available through Craftland. If you feel compelled to track it down, visit Craftland’s site here.
