I am a complete sucker for print sets, especially ones that come in gift boxes with certificates (I have a secret dream of being a packaging designer, what can I say). I can display them in so many different ways! And it's such a pretty little box! With such a cute little certificate! And it's such a great combination of prints! Get a closer look at all the prints here.

Tiny Showcase has a new beautiful print by Andrea Offermann up today. Like always a percentage of the profits from the prints goes to charity, and they're selling out super fast! Update: They're sold out. Yes, already. I'm sad about it too.

Out of all of the wonderful prints from comic book artist and illustrator Kazy Kibuishi on Nucleus, this one is my favorite. Something about the tree and the little bunny rabbit spirit really gets to me.

I adore Audrey Kawasaki's work, and was excited as hell when I found out that she's finally done a print of one of her pieces. She also has a show coming up in Los Angeles on March 11th at Copronason.

I like the snail crawling on the girls leg. I also like that this reminds me of a lot of art from books I had when I was a child.

"At first glance, his abstract paintings and mixed media collages at the Cedarburg Cultural Center present sweetly swirling, overly pretty places, with soft edges and wisps of greens and blues. On closer inspection, though, they are a churning chaos. At that close range we discover multiple territories, miniature landscapes floating, strings of text that signify memory or thoughts, physics equations from high school textbooks, scientific notations, clusters of symbols, cross-sections of plants and animals, and architectural drawings."

"My friend's child invented such game: when you're going somewhere on subway for a long time, bored, just tell your friend beside you: "You'll be a bear and i'll be a wolf". Imagine! After that you and your friend just keep moving. But! He's a bear and you're a wolf!"

$500 from this run of prints goes to greenpeace. it's only been up a day and has already sold 65 of a hundred prints - so get yer ass over there if you want one!

I have adored and followed Tiffany Bozic's work for years now. Finally, FINALLY two of her fine pieces of art are available for sale as prints that I can afford. She also has a few original pieces for sale as well.

Robots with tentacle type arms that are creating flowers and butterflies! Seriously, how can anyone resist that?

m modern gallery has a new shag print that's been custom matted, which I am a complete SUCKER for. Unfortunately you'll have to dig through their flash site a bit to get to it, since I can't link in, but I SWEAR IT IS ACTUALLY IN THERE.

Cute set of four prints from Jay Ryan, who has done a hell of a lot of beautiful rock posters. He also just put out a book called 100 posters, 134 squirrels, which is available both from the bird machine, Punk Planet Books, and through Amazon.

I LOVE this print. Then again I am also obsessed with any sort of ship that even vaguely reminds me of pirate ships and Goonies and Pirates of the Caribbean. Made from a woodblock created in 1926, this particular print was made in the 40s/50s, and also happens to be one of the more expensive pieces out of the many prints for sale at Ohmi Gallery. Typical prices for individual prints are around a couple of hundred dollars, and there are many many more prints, everything from snowy japanese landscapes to images of geishas to more modern, abstract prints.
