PLEASE NOTE RESTRICTIONS BELOW.

What-a-week-it-was greetings, art lovers! Not content to stop with the array of excellent editions unleashed upon the interwebs over the past few days, we're ending the week on a high note with the release of alleverythingthatisyou sno7_057 and alleverythingthatisyou sno7_077, two gorgeous new editions from a series by Mike + Doug Starn that made its seasonally-appropriate 20x200 debut almost exactly one year ago.

Lots has changed since the release of the first two editions from the series, alleverythingthatisyou sno7.1_003 and alleverythingthatisyou sno6_005. Back then, I wrote about our visit to Mike and Doug's studio in Beacon and the magical experience of clambering up the dizzying, clattering heights of Big Bambú. Sworn to secrecy, I didn't divulge that the wonder of that organic architecture was slated to be built anew, climbing above the already rarefied heights of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And build it they did! Sara and I were among the lucky first few to pay a visit to the work-in-progress on a raw, blustery early spring day. We marveled at the unlikely, utterly brilliant layers of controlled chaos being assembled upon the roof of one of our city's most esteemed cultural institutions. Lucky first we were, but certainly not the last—by Halloween, the museum had hosted more than 600,000 visitors, many of whom got to enjoy a bird's eye view of the city from a structure that rose 40 feet above its roofline.

The Starns being the Starns, the whole project was extensively and exhaustively documented, resulting in lots of stunning imagery, some of which we hope to create 20x200 editions with in the not-too-distant future. This being the snowy, festive season that it is, it seemed the perfect opportunity to make an annual tradition of sharing a few of Mike and Doug's perfect-in-their-imperfection frozen moments. For the lucky few who snagged the first two, today's new editions will look stunning in their company. Fresh-faced newcomers who are feeling flush can still snap up all four at the 36"x36" size. Naturally, each individual snowflake is a thing of beauty in its own right, so don't hesitate to buy one to get and one to give. In light of last year's frenzied flurry, we expect these flakes to evaporate into thin air awfully quickly, so don't delay, but do take a moment or two to read through some important details and restrictions before you go:

- There is a limit of two 8"x8" prints, per edition, per collector.
- This edition is not eligible for any discount or promotion.
- We reserve the right to refund purchases if we determine that a single collector has acquired multiple prints and/or used a discount code.
- The quoted image dimensions include a generous white border which is part of the artwork and not a printing/printer mechanical artifact.
- When framing your print, floating it on museum board with its full dimensions intact is recommended. (No trimming!)
