The DIY Quick and Dirty PRINTERESTING SWAP!
Bring your prints, posters, photocopy art, zines, comix, buttons, t-shirts, stickers, chapbooks, mail art, broadsides and any other form of multiple that is ripe for distribution. The Swap is intended for creators to trade the stuff they've made (no sales, only trades) and embrace the gift economy made possible through mass production.
Printeresting began in 2008 as “the thinking person’s favorite online resource for interesting printmaking miscellany.” It was founded by Gallery Store Artists Amze Emmons and Jason Urban along with R.L. Tillman. They can be found at www.printeresting.org.
