I will totally admit that I have had a huge art crush on <a href="http://andrewneyer.com/">Andrew Neyer</a> for a very long time. I've had the pleasure of doing a trade and a little work for him and I am so pumped to print his design for Friends With Benefits.<br />
<br />

Andrew is in Cincinatti, OH where he not only creates a huge amount of work and art directs and designs, but also runs a beautiful art space/gallery/shop called <a href="http://yescincinnati.com/">YES</a>. The space looks absolutely stunning and is on my list of why the Midwest could totally rule. <i>Just kidding, I'm sure it totally rules on its own.</i><br />

Check out the giant Connect Four! Andrew is doing some amazing stuff at YES and it should definitely be on your radar of neat places. The current exhibition in the gallery is work featured in <a href="http://www.mikeperrystudio.com/">Mike Perry</a>'s newest book, <a href="http://mikeperrystudio.myshopify.com/products/pulled-a-catalog-of-screen-printing">Pulled: A Catalog of Screen Printing</a>.<br />

</div>I am very happy to introduce this very special project. Friends With Benefits is a collaborative printmaking project created to unify the sometimes removed and anonymous nature of the artist and printer relationship. Working with our favorite art crushes, Friends With Benefits' main goal is to bridge the productive gap between the ends of printmaking.<br />
<br />
The idea is to produce a collection of simple and fine prints available in both zine/craft and fine art environments. These sets will be for sale and a portion of the proceeds will go to a charitable cause chosen by the contributors. The first set of prints will be letterpress printed at <a href="http://www.typecastpress.com/">Typecast Press</a> in Baltimore, MD. We want these prints to be real and not some fartsy things you're not allowed to touch!<br />
<br />
Until the collection is printed and for sale in late July, we'll be introducing some of the Friends and sneaking a peek at their sweet contributions.<br />
<br />
Follow us and keep up with Friends With Benefits!Erin Wallacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17282056003518582351noreply@blogger.com2
