The new Driven By Boredom shop launched today and I launched a super limited new product and I wanted to hit you with a quick B-Side post about it.
I had been using Etsy for years but for a bunch of reason I switched over. Big Cartel looks better, I have a custom domain and my fees are way lower. I do have to pay a monthly fee, which is not ideal if I am not selling stuff, but hopefully it makes sense for everyone. At least now you don’t have to sign up for an account or anything. If you buy anything, let me know how it goes. I haven’t tested anything so here’s hoping nothing goes wrong…
The new product is a print series celebrating the 20th anniversary of my first solo show, which was my senior show in college. I don’t love the work now, but when I found all the prints I got developed at the time, I knew I had to do something with them. It was really interesting to see how I shot at the time and how the project was really the beginning of my current portrait style. I talk much more about the project (and the product) here, but I wanted to give you a little TL;DR with the shop announcement.
Richmond Outtakes is a collection of 50 unique 4″x6″ prints, that were printed at the time, collected in a clamshell box, signed and numbered out of an edition of just 20. For just $50 it’s a pretty good deal for that many essentially 1/1 prints. Each collection features two photos from 25 different photoshoots and no two boxes feature the same 25 shoots (I did more than 50 shoots for the project).
Even if you aren’t interested in the book make sure you check out the new shop and, if you feel like it, let me know what you think. It’s a big change and took slightly more work than I expected getting to this point.
