About Four Thirty by William Wegman

Welcome back to the Week in Review! What's that, you ask? Every Friday we look back on the highlights of the week, point out some great things we saw on the internet and drop hints about what the future holds.

New Editions

We Are So Good Together by Dylan Fareed	The Architects + About 4:30 by William Wegman

This week we had the privilege of bringing you a few amazing editions from two brand-new-to-20x200 artists. (So amazing that the smallest sizes of both editions sold out in hours! Luckily for the causally late, both editions still have prints available in their editions of 500.) After years of emails between Jen and Dylan, we finally released Dylan Fareed's hand-pulled letterpress print We Are So Good Together, a perfect gift for your type-loving valentine. On Wednesday we had the distinct pleasure of bringing you our first-ever paired edition, The Architects + About Four Thirty, by the legendary William Wegman, who practically invented the dog portrait. However, unbeknownst to many, Bill is also an extraordinary painter and we're proud to release these two facets of his work as a pair.
