10th Annual Print Postcard Exchange

[andy_schmidt]

Hey all,

I'm passing on the info emailed to me by my college print professor. Every year since she's been at Iowa State, the printmaking department holds a postcards exchange with a theme very open to interpretation. You send in an edition of 13 and get back 12 prints from others random participants. I've done it 5 of the past 9 years and you get some pretty badass stuff in return. Its super easy to participate, if you don't have access to much equipment or have much free time, photos count.

I like a lot of the art and artists I see on this site, and I think it would be sweet to get some new blood in this years exchange. The info for participation is below.

One Love,

Andy S
