20x200 + JILL BLISS= Awesome!

I am SO SO SO excited to announce this news.....

Earlier this year on a trip to New York for a screening of Handmade Nation at the Museum of Arts and Design I had the pleasure of being introduced to Jen Bekman by our mutual friend Kate Bingaman-Burt over lunch. For those of you who are not familiar Jen is responsible for a number of amazing projects one of which is 20x200. 20x200 offers exhibition-quality limited-edition prints exclusively online. New editions are released twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and alternate between photography and fine-art. It was at this time that Jen expressed interest in helping out with raising funds for Handmade Nation when she learned I am still working on paying off the production cost of the film.

It was after this meeting that I approached artist Jill Bliss about creating two new pieces of work for a duel release through 20x200. Jill is featured in Handmade Nation the book and documentary and I am a huge fan of her work.

I am so very pleased to announce the release of two beautiful limited-edition print editions by Jill Bliss through 20x200 available on August 12th. Proceeds from the sale of one of the prints directly benefits the production cost of Handmade Nation.

I want to thank you for your continual support of Handmade Nation's mission to promote DIY art, craft & design and the creative community it encourages and empowers.
