Wednesday Edition: Mark Ulriksen
11"x8.5" ($20) | 14"x11" ($50) | 22"x17" ($200)
Aloha collectors! It's SO good to be home sweet home AND it's starting to feel like spring around here. Winter coats have been banished and the sun seems just a little higher in the sky, bringing a bit more light to even the darkest of dark first-floor apartments.
I'll have a recap of all good goings on soon. I have but a minute today to introduce this edition from one of our favorite New Yorker contributors: Mark Ulriksen. Mark most recently put together The Oscars issue cover. If you're a subscriber, you might have also caught his third-page punchline in the tri-folding money issue a couple months back. As you all most likely know, Jorge Colombo is our other favorite New Yorker cover artist — and he's been at it again!
In Patsy Cline and Hank Williams, Mark's invented a moment for two of his country-music heroes to share the limelight together, with an owl! Dressed in their singing-Sunday best, standing in front of fence posts and what I imagine to be a very weathered barn tucked off among green acres somewhere south or west of here, the two look ready as ever to croon. Lonely, broken hearts be gone! This nostalgic print is a perfect companion for Hank Williams' Bed, Georgiana, Alabama as photographed by Scott Eiden.
To conclude our brief week of tributes to all good things that are a lil' bit country, we've rounded up our best bets for the cowboys and gals among you below, including Scott's photograph, yesterday's ode to Lyle Lovett, Untitled (I like you 'cause you like me and you don't like much.) by Mike Monteiro and Rodeo Stars, Strong City, Kansas by Mike Sinclair.
Mark's first edition with 20x200 is also a good one for music lovers: Monk. He generously agreed to create the edition with 20x200 as a benefit for a fine San Francisco institution, SFJAZZ, and only two prints remain!
Speaking of benefits, we're gearing up for a super kiss-off-to-winter event with our friends at Aperture this very Friday: SNAP! A few tickets are still available so hop to it and we'll look forward to seeing you there! Before then, I'll be back here tomorrow with one final fresh edition for this week.
