    Here they come!

    Hello everyone... all of the shipping materials have arrived and so the editions are ready to go. I've got them labeled and will likely be sealing your flat mailers (with extra protection for the print, don't worry) and sending them off this Thursday/Friday.

    Friends in Portland know that I'll be giving you your print in person so expect a phone call or text soon!

    Very excited to send these off and I really enjoyed making the set of 3 images from Nowhere prints for those of you who chose that option. It is an interesting process of editing and sequencing that I don't get to work through too often.

    Enjoy!

    In production...

    I am firing up my printer while I order mailers and plastic sleeves for all your prints. Everything is coming together well. I have a lot of mailing addresses from most of you now, thank you for sending that information so quickly.

    Hang tight. My goal is to have all the prints done and in the mail by October 15th. I will of course keep you all posted on the progress as things proceed.

    I will mention this because a few people have already asked but if you missed out on the KickStarter fundraising there are still prints available from these editions so you can still help support the project. So pass it on to anyone you know and if you are visiting these project again and you've missed the deadline feel free to message me here or via my web site: ianwhitmore.com

    Thanks!
    Take care,
    *ian
