Just received this from Samadhisound (don't all rush to buy it at once though eh? Form an orderly queue... :rolleyes: );
Uncommon Deities (handmade limited edition print)
Poem by David Sylvian Art by Atsushi Fukui
Published by Heavenly Monkey 2010
The text used for this broadside was originally written to accompany a catalogue for an exhibition of Fukui's work which never materialised. David Sylvian later sent the poem, entitled 'Uncommon Deities,' to the publisher Heavenly Monkey and requested Fukui create original artwork specifically for this edition.
The result is this beautiful handprinted broadside, limited to an edition of 30, signed and numbered by both artists, and 4 A.P. copies.
Only 4 copies (of the broadside) are available (as of this posting) through samadhisound.com.
The price for the broadside is $500.00 (plus postage). If you're interested in purchasing a copy please e-mail opiumartsinfo@aol.com

Those hats are appalling — but I am almost tempted to order one just for the sheer ludicrousness of it (and I do not wear baseball caps under any circumstances). Maybe David is trying to appeal to the more rustic element of his neighboring New Englanders. What's next — Samadhisound tractor-seat cushions? [/b]
