Limited Shelf Life - a solo exhibition of works by John Grayson

On Saturday, January 23rd (1.23), I will be having my first solo art show, titled "Limited Shelf Life," at Sub-Urban Vinyl Toys and Art in Waldwick, NJ.

I've been preparing and working on the show for many months and am extremely happy with how everything is coming together. I'm hoping to have 18-20 finished pieces for and will be posting more photos as I take them. Let me know what you think!

Due to the impending doom that is Winter Storm Jonas, the opening reception for my show at Sub-Urban Vinyl Toys and Art has been moved to the following Saturday night, January 30th from 6-9pm....

I hope everyone who was planning on coming this weekend will be able to make it out next week. The weathermen apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks and I hope to see you at the show!

PS. DAMN YOU JONAS!

PPS. hey weather channel, can you please stop naming winter storms.

thanks SHT!

i believe your piece will be shipping out over the next few days. since the show got delayed a week and with another show coming in a few weeks, we opted to do a cash and carry instead of waiting to the end of the show to ship the pieces out.

i had a few people tell me they wanted the piece you picked up. thanks again and enjoy!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to the opening this past saturday night and to everyone who picked up a piece. All of your love made it a very special night for me. Extra thanks goes to the guys from Sub-Urban Vinyl Toys and Art and my beautiful wife - the show would not have happened without any of you.

I finally had time to add the remaining Screen Test NYCC Edition prints to my site and they're up now for anyone interested. it was a last minute decision to print these up special for last years NYCC and and these are what's remaining of the edition. The prints are physically smaller at 11x14" than the original edition, which was 18x18," and the image itself is a bit smaller than the storm monroe on the original edition. This is the last time it will be printed on paper so this is your last chance to get a print of it if you're looking for one. I also have t-shirts of this image that i've printed up that will be added to my site at some point in the future - drop me a PM if you're interested in one:
  • title: screen test (nycc edition)
  • medium: 3 color hand pulled screenprint
  • size: 11″ x 14″
  • paper: white 250gsm rives bfk (acid-free, 100% cotton)
  • color: light grey
  • edition: 50
  • price: $20 each
11"x14" 3 color hand pulled screen print on white 250gsm rives bfk paper (acid-free, 100% cotton) with both natural and hand torn deckled edges. Signed, numbered, dated and embossed. Edition of 50
