I started Obsessive Consumption in 2002, when I decided to photograph all of my purchases, and in turn, created a brand out of the process to package and promote. I am currently hand-drawing all of my credit card statements until they are paid off, drawing something I purchase every day and continuing to make piles of work (zines! pillows! photographs! buttons! more drawings!).
The drawings in this edition document the things that I bought over the course of one week, two weeks, one month and four months in the summer of 2009.
These prints are created using archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper with a matte finish.
Prints from a sister edition, Drawings from July 2009, are available at the 10"x8", 14"x11", 20"x16" sizes. Each size represents purchases made for a different period of time: one week, two weeks, and one month.
Our quoted dimensions are for the size of paper containing the images, not the printed image itself. We do not alter the aspect ratio, nor do we crop or resize the artists' originals. All of our prints have a minimum border of .5 inches to allow for framing.
