Shepard Fairey will release a limited number of his George Orwell book cover print set on December 31st sometime between noon and 3 PM PST @ ObeyGiant.com.  The print set was initially released in the UK by Penguin Books UK as part of a special promotion for the re-release of two Orwell classics – 1984 and Animal Farm, featuring Fairey’s interpretation of the cover art.  The set features two offset A2 Size (17” x 24”) prints, is an edition of 200 signed and numbered pieces, and will be available for $140.  The set is limited to 1 per person/household.

Catherine Brooks has just launched an Etsy store, and along with it her first edition of prints. This print is limited to only 10. The print is 10″ x 13″, signed and numbered. The amazing thing about these prints is that each one is hand embellished. She hand painted the gold details into each one of the prints, to help regain the “metallic nature” of her paintings. The other bonus is “each one is a little different and you may find a tiny graphite secret drawn into the the back and maybe a gold finger print.”

Prolific poster artist Jermaine Rogers will release a timely and thought-provoking cross-culturual print – Respectfully Disagree, tomorrow – Tuesday, December 23rd sometime between Noon and 3 PM MST.  The take away message is simple but powerful – Civil Disobedience takes many forms some of which may well seem foreign to those not part of a particular culture, but in whatever form it’s critical  in helping move things forward.

The screen print measures 24” x 18” and is limited to 50 signed and numbered pieces. The prices has not been announced.  It will be available for purchase on the artist’s site when it drops.

Miss Bugs, one of our favorite (and most mysterious) artist tandems are bringing us a great little surprise for the holidays. While we are most likely ruining our chances of winning, we just had to let everyone know about their lottery for a set of aluminum  “The Heart Fell From The Art” screenprints.

What we won’t tell you is how to enter - you are going to have to go to MissBugs‘ website and figure it out for yourselves. The contest ends January 2nd, so you had better hurry.

DD loves the tongue-in-cheek combination’s of contemporary artists and cartoons that pervades MB’s work. We really wish we were in London to get a better look at first hand pastes. Someone send us some pics. Keep reading for more or take a look in our members forum to discuss.

Blaine Fontana has been in hiding a bit since his move to the wilderness of the Northwest last year, but that does not mean he hasn’t been busy. Blaine recently completed a custom Scion xB that we got to check out during Art Basel and is about to move back into the real world next month. In between his move, he just released this sweet little print:

“Irregular Fauna #2″
It is a 12″ x 12″ Giclee, printed on 100% cotton rag acid free museum paper, 425 g/m² basis weight.  Hand Signed and Numbered.  Limited Edition of 50. Order one here:

Better grab one now, as I hear Mr. Fontana is starting to work on his first major solo exhibition in quite some time. DD cannot wait for that one.

Looks like David Choe is up to no good once again. Tomorrow he is releasing a new EIGHTEEN color screenprint with Burlesque Design. To top that off, Choe has drawn and painted on all 76 prints so each is completely unique. Check out the production video from Burlesque and their image gallery of the process:

If that is not enough David Choe for you, we have more. David will be signing his new “Choegal” toy at GR2 on Tuesday, December 23, from 6-8pm.

BLK/MRKT Gallery has a three print sets available for your Christmas shopping or just collecting, each set is a great deal. The “White Paper Series 2″ print by Ben Tour is available in all three sets, then there are various combinations with prints by Jay Howell, Robert Hardgrave and Dave Kinsey. All the prints are sold separately as well besides Kinsey’s “Regeneration” print that is sold out. This what makes set II so killer as it has the Kinsey, Ben Tour and Hardgrave prints. Maybe thats why there is only one of these sets left.

Andy Kehoe has just released a new print onto his Etsy shop. The print is 12″ x 16″, signed and numbered in an edition of 40. It’s also on my favorite paper, Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm paper. I remember seeing this painting a bit back and loving that blue against the ochre like colors that he used throughout the piece. It’s very striking.
