SUMMER PRINT SALE
Each July I sell prints from my personal print collection, or prints acquired in trades. All of these prints are from editions that are now sold out. They're in mint condition and have been stored in a flat file where they have never been exposed to light. I highly recommend using UV protected glass if you're going to buy and frame any of these prints.

Arcade #2 Serigraph Print
This 120 print edition was printed and signed in 2005. It took a while to sell out but it remains a high point in our collection of editions. There were 23 colors and 21 screens used to create this edition. The registration and spit-fountains (a total of five blends were used in the edition!) work perfectly. I was also able to hold the best detail with 230 mesh/dpi dither output of the films I used–the perfect combination. I think, as a printer, this is one of the best editions I've printed. The image size is 13" x 18.5". The cream paper size is 20" x 26". Comes with its cert, written by Crumb, and in mint condition. This is print #108/120.

Here's an unusual print. Self-Loathing Comics was a 40 print color serigraph edition with three additional black & white only prints. These black and white prints were included in the edition but numbered with roman numerals. This print is numbered as II/III B.&W., signed and dated by R. "Silly Boy" Crumb. The edition was signed in 2015. The white paper is 12" x 16.5". The image size is 8" x 11.5". There is no certificate for this edition. Rather, there is an indicia printed at the bottom of each print, including these black and white prints. The edition sold out in 2016, but the black and white prints were never offered. I have all three and am selling #II/III now.
