Bassnectar
3-color print with silver metallic.
Designed by Craig Winslow.
Edition of 375.
Printed on 100# Finch Opaque Smooth Cover (Bright White).
15" x 15"

We're really psyched on this low-contrast colorway that Craig came up with. The white ink on white paper really makes this guy pop (no pun intended) in conjunction with the silver metallic and gray shading. Craig rendered a 3D head in Maya, blew the thing apart, then we brought it back into the 2D realm with ink! For fans of "the drop" – let the bass shatter your face!

Original press release: "We are proud to present a limited-edition silkscreen reproduction print of Mikey Welsh's "Flowers" painting. Printed by Iskra Print Collective in Burlington, Vermont and first made available for a special memorial gallery show, "Celebrating The Life and Art of Mikey Welsh", featuring a wide variety of Mikey's painting and sculpture work, both old and new.

The print measures at 11" x 14" and is printed on high quality 100# Finch Opaque Smooth Cover paper stock in a hand-numbered edition of 100 copies. A beautiful reproduction of one of Mikey's most lively and colorful works, bursting with warm energy and a unique sense of personal vision.

We're sad to announce that this is Deke's last Burlington-based Iskra poster (though hopefully not the last ever). But before he left, he took the time to individually spraypaint each of the 300 prints... crazy! Best of luck on the west coast, we'll miss you bro!
