I Am Still Alive

It’s been a quiet year for the I Am Still Alive blog thus far. I have had my head down and have been working on several software apps launching in the near future – more on those to come.

The big news is that I Am Still Alive is moving to California in February after 7 years in Brooklyn. I am planning on trying to find a retail project space out West and to spend more time designing & publishing prints. In the interim, I am closing the store for the next several weeks so that I can work on my transition.

Thanks to all the artists with whom I’ve worked to produce the prints in the catalog and to all the folks who’ve patronized the store over the past three years.

I am back in Los Angeles with family from now until the 31st of December. I’ll ship orders made over the holidays once I get back east.

Hey, so with Holidays ahead of us, if you are in the New York area and looking to purchase posters, you ought to come by the studio in Brooklyn to pick up orders rather than having them shipped.

Folks purchasing in person from now until Christmas will get 50% off their orders.

I am back in Brooklyn for the day. Orders made over the last week or so have gone out. Thanks for your orders!

I am heading down to Miami tomorrow morning for the art fairs, but that shouldn’t disrupt normal shipping on Monday.

I am heading back to Los Angeles today for a generous Thanksgiving week. I’ll be back west through Tuesday the second of December. Any orders that come in through the store between now and then will be sent out upon my return to Brooklyn.

I am looking forward to some fairly big changes around this site when I get back and several new prints, but for now I am just stoked to get out of this cold.

I’ve just returned to New York City from New Orleans. I’m jazzed to be having a good bagel with my coffee this morning.

Posters ordered over the weekend will ship this afternoon. Thanks for all your orders.

I am stoked to report that we have printed several new prints by Dan Funderburgh and Michael Perry. Dan’s print – ‘Census’ - is a signed and numbered 3-color edition to benefit the campaign for Barack Obama – Dan’s donating all proceeds to the campaign.

Universe Factory by Michael Perry is actually an edition of 4 prints available individually or as a set.

We reprinted the We are so good together prints on speckletone natural paper over the weekend for those of you who were waiting.

I am also pretty stoked to print some new posters next week with Mike Perry and a few other folks.

I am pumped to release a new print for the store by Matt Hollister. It’s a two color poster and measures 13 by 20 inches.

We ran a hundred off over the course of one evening a couple weeks back with a little moral support from Sam Friedman.

Good times.

You can pick up the print here

We printed Hard Time by Chuck Agro over the weekend on the Vandercook.

It’s a signed open edition printed on Speckletone Madero measuring 11 by 13 inches and available for purchase in the store.

I am really enjoying working with artists on these prints for the store. Hit me up if you are interested in collaborating on a print.

We printed Gravity’s Rainbow by Dan Funderburgh this past Friday on the Vandercook. It’s a three color print that we ran in two editions (one limited and the other open).

You can pick one of the prints up in the store if you are so inclined.

We’ve putting several other prints up for sale in the next few days, so check back soon or subscribe to either our newsletter or to our sitewide RSS feed.

We’ve been busy printing editions with some other folks these past few weeks. We’ll start selling several of the new prints in a couple days and will likely be releasing a new print each Monday through the rest of the summer.

Thanks to Hunt we have another run of We are so good together prints in stock. If you’ve been waiting to grab one, now is I suppose as good a time as any.

Over the weekend, we printed an edition with Noah Rauch and Jody Avirgan. You can pick one up in the store if you like.

Jody describes the concept this way:

Two semesters of intensive introductory astronomy distilled into seven handy rules.

It’s a two-color run of 100 handset woodtype prints measuring 13 by 20 inches and part of our summer collaborations.

We have ten of Cannonball Press’ We Can Burn That Bridge When We Come To It woodcut/letterpress prints now available in the store. They measure 18”x24” inches and were handtooled, hand-inked and printed by Martin Mazzora here in Brooklyn.

I am back in Brooklyn and, folks, I’ve shipped your posters. Thanks for the orders; we’ve got some new products in the pipeline so look out for those this week.

I am taking advantage of the long weekend and spending the next several days in Los Angeles. Orders made through the end of this week will all be shipped on Tuesday when I get back to Brooklyn.

We’ve got another print in the store. It’s a 4-color letterpress poster.

I am also looking for local Brooklyn/New York folks who want to collaborate on posters this summer. If you’re interested, holler @me.

It looks like products in the store are sold out again. I am finishing up a new print tomorrow or Friday and will be re-printing a couple oldies over the next few weeks.

I just ran off another set of We are so good together prints. They are drying on just about every conceivable surface here in the office. I’ll start shipping them tomorrow morning, I reckon, but you can order them now in the store.
