Stop Your Messing Around Print for Tiny Showcase
In 2005, Jon did the above Stop Your Messing Around print for Tiny Showcase. The 5×5 print quickly sold out its run of 50 prints for the cut rate of $12 each.
Tiny Showcase was created by Jon Buonaccorsi and Shea’la Finch in November of 2004. They began exploring a smaller medium where artists could make some money, but art enthusiasts could afford it. Each week, they pick a new piece of tiny artwork and turn the work into a limited-run print production. Each run is printed on archival Hahnemühle German Printmaking Paper. The archival ink is specially treated and sprayed, giving it an archival lifespan of over 60 years.
Beginning in 2005, they introduced a new pricing structure where a percentage of the money from each print sold is donated to a charity chosen by the artist. This raises the print price slightly, but now the artist, as well as their favorite charity, benefit from each piece sold. Jon did a letterpress print for Tiny Showcase in 2007 and donated a percentage to Greenpeace.
