MEKONS ART PRINTS
-------------------------------

Verse Chorus Press is proud to offer for sale beautiful limited-edition color letterpress prints of four of the illustrated lyrics from the Mekons book "Hello Cruel World."

Hand-printed by renowned letterpress printer Inge Bruggeman in limited runs of 100 copies each (numbered 1-100), the prints are 11 x 15 inches and printed on heavy, archival-quality card stock. Each was created by a different Mekon, and is printed in a different color on a different-colored paper.

They are perfect for framing and made to last. To ensure they survive the rigors of the US Postal Service, we will ship them flat, in protective packaging, via priority mail.

Cost is $15 per print, or $50 for the set of 4, plus $6.95 shipping and handling within the USA. For insurance add an additional $1.30. Please ask for a quote on shipping outside the USA.

Signed copies: a very limited number of sets (numbers 6-15) were signed "mekons '02" by the artists (in their usual collective spirit). These are available on a first-come, first-served basis for $100 a set plus $6.95 shipping and handling. For insurance add an additional $2.20. Please ask for a quote on shipping outside the USA.
