BLOTTER BARN

Artist and LSD blotter art archivist Mark McCloud and Dana Dana Dana present Blotter Barn, a series of archival, fine art digital prints derived from Mark McCloud's infamous blotter art collection called the Institute of Illegal Images. Each image is a photographic enlargement of a selected item from the collection, and depicts that item in high detail, revealing tiny elements that are normally invisible to the human eye.


CEZAR BOO

A series of drawings by artist Philip Zimmerman called Cezar Boo 2 is reborn as a limited edition of digital fine art prints. Philip and Dana Dana Dana bring you these images, designed to be as faithful as possible to the original drawings.

THE MISSION MIRACLE MILE TRILOGY

To the Tower coverThe Mission Miracle Mile Trilogy is a solo effort in which Dana Smith’s digitally enhanced photography takes center stage. The thirty-two-inch page spreads are printed full-bleed with saturated images of sidewalks, bus transfers, crushed pills, street vendors, tattoos, transients, and schoolchildren. The effect is dramatic, each page turn evoking the atmosphere of the street and the feeling of progressing down it.
Edition of 6
