$100 from each sale will be donated to WYSO 91.3, the Yellow Springs NPR affiliate, in support of the important community and reporting work the station produces every day.
Art description: Embedded within comic book pages, these mail-in coupons offered access to distant training and aspirational careers in illustration. Printed in black-and-white and designed for easy clipping, they invited readers to convert enthusiasm into action. The process of cutting, filling, and mailing transformed passive reading into participation in a broader commercial and educational network. Their language promised transformation through correspondence, positioning art as both talent and attainable skill. These coupons reflect a mid-century ecosystem of self-improvement, where opportunity arrived embedded in entertainment and required deliberate, physical response.
Print runs for this exhibit are limited to 5 each, hand-signed, numbered, and stamp-authenticated by the artist. Works are printed on 13”x19” or 19”x13” 100% cotton rag with deckled and torn edges, using a 6-color, high resolution inkjet process. Print is mailed in a protective mailing tube, and comes with an identification tag as presented during the exhibit. Shipping and sales tax included in print price.
