Mare and Foal, the first Relay Replay Press print



I have started to work with the wife of an elderly gentleman—a WWII veteran who served in the South Pacific—to create the next Relay Replay Press book with him. In order to fund this project, I have created Mare and Foal, a varied edition Gocco print. The money raised from selling this print will pay for materials and my time to go out to The Dalles for a week in July and work with this gentleman. In the mean time, I have started to go out to meet with him, to get to know him a bit, before we start to work on our project.

You can read more about the history of the Relay Replay Press projects in this article in The Oregonian.

The Dalles is about an hour and half away by car from Portland, where I'm located. A donor is providing me with a place to stay, which is greatly appreciated. Your purchase of a print will help pay for printmaking/bookbinding supplies, papers and any other materials necessary to edition 20 copies of this book, as well as my time for one week.

There are two versions of this print. Copies 1-90 are printed in 5 colors (the "Pastel" version, see above) and 91-141 in two (the "Sepia" version, see below). The image area is 6"x6" and paper size is 9"x10". Prints are numbered, signed, and dated.

To read a bit about the process of creating this print, see the making of Mare and Foal.

Please use the PayPal buttons to the right to purchase a print. Thank you very much for your support of this Relay Replay Press project!

The PayPal check out process didn't allow me to list which version of the print that I wanted. I want the pastel print please.

Hmmm...there wasn't a 'special instruction to merchant' box where you can type in text? PayPal won't let me buy a print myself, so I couldn't test it out, but I thought for sure there was such a box. I'll see what I can do.
