JG Thirlwell limited art print #6 available now!

JG Thirlwell

We are proud to announce the issuing of the sixth limited edition silkscreen print by JG Thirlwell, entitled Zomoscape #6. This gorgeous art piece is a signed and numbered four-color screen print in Thirlwell’s signature palette of black, red, white and gray. It is printed on French 100lb cover paper, and is 24″ x 18.” which makes it easy to place in a standard sized frame. You can order the print here

The artwork is in a very small edition of 75, but only 60 copies will be made available in the Foetus Shoppe. The print sells for $75.00 plus flat postage and packaging fee of $20 in the US, $25 in Canada and $30 in the rest of the world. Since the print ships in a tube by itself, when ordering the print you cannot order other items in the same shipment. Other items (CDs, T-shirts, vinyl, tote bags, digital) must be ordered separately.

Zomoscape marks the sixth and final print in this series. The first three prints are sold out.
