Also…new works and limited edition prints from Emberley himself!
From Scion:
“For “Ed Emberley & Friends,” each artist will create a six-foot-by-six-foot wood panel that is a mash-up of their own style and that of Ed Emberley’s instructional drawing books. The tribute paintings will be exhibited alongside examples of each artist’s individual work. After the show, each of the large painted panels will be donated for long-term display in children’s hospitals around the United States. Emberley will have the largest presence in the show, contributing work from his archives including dozens of pages from the 1970s original mockups of his books. He will have recent drawings of his classic characters for sale, as well as a limited-edition print made especially for the show.”

After receiving my prints in the mail yesterday, I have to talk about Josh Cooley and his fiendishly clever Lil’ Inappropriate Prints. A sweet love letter to A complete bastardization of the Little Golden Books you learned to read as a child, the style remains the same but the messages get mutilated by the movies that taught you how to curse like a Goodfella, kill like a Professional and crap your pants when riding a big wheel through a twin ridden hallway among other iconically dreadful film moments.
Responsible for making millions of kids smile as a story artist for Pixar (appropriately Toy Story 3 comes out this weekend BTW), Cooley has used his formidable skills of drawing and deception to create an Inappropriate Golden Book two years in the making. And from this soon to be released book comes a set of prints that are sure to make you laugh in horror as well as burn a hole in your bank account.
“The first run of prints from the soon to be released, “Movies R Fun” book are now available in the brand spanking new COOLEY store! Visit www.cooley.bigcartel.com
Signed 8.5×11 prints are available AND also a fine selection of Limited Edition 13×19 signed and numbered prints, that have a super fancy illustrated border that is so awesome, it will make everything else you have hanging on the wall look like crap.”
Below is a sampling of the prints which come either as 13×19 signed and numbered limited editions or 8.5×11 signed in open editions. I couldn’t resist picking up the deluxe versions of two of my favorite films: The Godfather: Part II and Goodfellas.
“This is the final week my latest show, “Beginnings / Endings (and other Worthless Epiphanies)”. So hopefuly you’ll get a chance to see the paintings before they go down for Copro’s next show.
Regardless, Copro and I have produced four very limited prints from the show. The paintings chosen include a canvas print of “Figure with Meat (Remix)”, and wood panel & paper prints of “Hook & Scratch”, “Hunny Bears”, and “Rough Waters”. For more information, please contact Copro Gallery or follow this Link”
“I made this edition of 20 prints for Aaron Rose’s Simulacrum show that is happening next week in Sydney, Australia at the famous Monster Children gallery. I’m making a few of the prints available for purchase. Skull Print: $40 + $5 shipping in the USA.”
*All proceeds donated to the American Red Cross to help victims of the Haiti Earthquake.
From the Upper Playgrounders:
“Each print will be numbered and signed by Quentin Tarantino. Only (6) of each amount will be made. The prints can be viewed at www.upperplayground.com beginning on Tuesday, February 16, 2010.”
“Giant Robot is proud to host Year of the Tiger, a group art show celebrating year 4708 on the lunar calendar. Pieces will include illustration, oils, pencils, prints, watercolor, sculpture, and other media–all dedicated one of the most powerful but also most sensitive animal in the Chinese zodiac.”

Yes, you read that right, free money! Courtesy of my bearded graphic designer buddy Keith Scharwath in commemoration of the grand opening of his blog Carwash, Keith will be giving away 100 free Gocco prints on dollar bills with a special message printed on each hand numbered bill. In addition to designing the beautiful poster for Beautiful Losers (which is always up on the left side of this site), Keith has worked on a wide variety of design projects ranging from album covers; logos corporate and non; good work for GOOD; and various Nike projects amongst many others. Please help welcome Keith’s new blog, Carwash, to the interwebs by clicking over for some visual stimulation, inspiration and a“free print (or a free dollar)”while supplies last!
