New Gig Poster: Trey Anastasio Band and Goose.

by ncwinters on December 6, 2022

New gig poster!

I’m happy to announce my first ever gig poster for Trey Anastasio Band and Goose. The gig date was a few weeks ago: November 19, in Reading Pennsylvania.

Trey Anastasio Band with Goose
November 19 2022, at Santander Arena in Reading, PA
Sold out Main show edition – only available at venue.

I’m extremely pleased with how the final posters turned out. Special thanks to DL Screenprinting for the fabulous job on printing. I understand the poster sold out at the venue, which is always great to hear, in terms of the image resonating with people. Special thanks to Jimmy for having me onboard for this gig.

My artist variants come in two colorways: “Ice” and “Blush,” in blue and pink tones respectively. The prints are 18″ x 24″ seven color screenprints on Cougar natural 100# paper stock. Each colorway is also available on holographic rainbow foil, with an added white base, for a total of eight colors. The situation with the band was unique this time, in that there are an even number of foils as paper prints, which is a first for me. There is still a strict limit of one foil of each colorway per person/family/household, so that as many people as possible can get them (limited to the number of prints of course).

My artist variant copies go up for sale tomorrow: Wednesday, December 7 in the online shop. As always, newsletter subscribers get the exact drop time. Sign up for the newsletter here.

As always, thank you for the continued support of my artwork. I spend quite a bit of time reflecting on this bizarre career I’m fortunate to have: to be able to make and sell my own artwork for a living. I am always aware of how fortunate I am to even have the option to do what I do, but I try to be as diligent as I can to not take it for granted. Thank you to each and everyone who has purchased work, liked, or commented on anything I’ve made or posted. Even to those who only read these newsletters, thank you for spending your precious time reading and even more so when sharing with those you care about. I am trying to be better about responding to likes, comments and messages (I’ve even hired someone to try and help on that front) but I know there’s more that can be done, so in the meantime I will use part of this space to specifically say: “Thank you.”

On to the prints, and Happy Holidays!

In case you didn’t know, there is a group on Facebook dedicated to my artwork. The group is filled with really good people who discuss my art, share their purchases and trades, show off work they’ve had framed and help each other out in acquiring long lost works of mine. I didn’t create the group, several “fans” did ( I always find the word awkward). I’m not super active as much as I’d like to be, but am trying better to pop in more often with live video updates and special releases for the members of the group. Check it out if you’re interested!
Fans of N.C. Winters.

Post-DesignerCon Drop!

by ncwinters on November 29, 2022

Another DesignerCon has come and gone, and was an overall excellent experience.

Special thanks to my booth partner, Jim Mazza for teaming up with me, to share resources and space while we hawked our wares to excited patrons. Always a blast hanging out with you my friend. Additionally, the convention wouldn’t have been possible without the assistance from friends Adrian and Chris. Both gentlemen were completely on top of it: taking orders, rolling prints, keeping us fed and overall keeping the artists on top of their game. The convention would have been a very different experience and way less fun without those two. All told the whole group of four: the Steak Bois made the convention something special. They all together really were the clam’s garters, they were indeed truly: the cat’s ass. (You just had to be there).

My post-convention wares will drop this coming Wednesday, November 30 at a random time. As always, be sure you’re signed up to the newsletter for the exact drop time. There are still several original paintings, and I’ve held onto several copies of my exclusive print releases, so there is still much available. But still, don’t snooze on the drop, you’ve been warned!
*For those curious, my recent Trey Anastasio band gig poster artist copies will be available in the very near future but NOT on this drop. Stay tuned!)

DesignerCon 2022!

by ncwinters on November 16, 2022

How is it already that time again? Yes, DesignerCon is upon us once again. This year seems to have gone by in a flash, but there’s still one last convention on my docket, and it’s my favorite one to boot. Normally I shill my wares from the usual double booth, but this year I’m teaming up with Jim Mazza and we’re taking over three full booths in a lucky “7” formation: booth #1015. Very exciting!

As usual, I’m bringing some exclusives as well as rarities from sold out runs. Because the live painting/auction was so successful at SDCC, I’ve decided to try it again. I’ll be hand embellishing a rare print which will go up for auction near the end of the convention. Keep an eye on the booth as well as my Facebook and Instagram for details as that evolves, most likely in a sloppy ad hoc manner.
On to the goods!

First up is the next two Lepidoptera: 16 & 17 (holy hell, how are we up to 17 already?). They’ll be available in the usual format: a matched number set, available for $90, limit two sets per person. Had fun with these, especially the scaly texture of “Reptile.”

Lepidoptera 16 “Reptile”
Print size: 10“ x 8“ limited edition of 160.
Sold as a set with Lepidoptera 17: “Flux.”
Archival giclée print on cold press natural cotton rag.

Next is something new that I’m really excited about. It’s a shiny, fancy new print on holographic rainbow foil with all kinds of cool stuff going on. The print is on matte foil with multiple layers of spot gloss varnish that both enhance the iridescent foil as well as add some pretty wild raised texture in the scales. While I hate to be trite, pictures truly do not do this justice. This print really has to be seen in person to get the full effect. “Chroma Lizardo” comes in three colorways: “Emerald,” “Ruby,” and “Lapis.” Prints are 9″ x 12,” and hand signed and numbered in a limited edition of 50, $60 each. Limit two of each colorway per person.

In addition to the printed goods, I’ll have a slew of small framed original beetle paintings available. A whole set was captured and framed up for your viewing and purchasing pleasure. Each original painting is float-mounted in a hand painted, collaged shadow box. Note that this is just a sampling, I’ll keep painting up until (and let’s face it, probably AFTER) the show opens. Keep an eye on my social media for updates on more as they are completed.
Remember- booth 1015, hope to see at the show!
