After a year and a half of lame excuses, broken promises, shattered dreams and outright lies, the most excellent Thumbtack Press has saved the day and brought the long-delayed AMV STORE back to life.
Seriously, these guys offer fantastic quality Giclee prints on archival, ultra-matte paper as well as numerous framing options. I couldn't be happier with how they came out. Enjoy!

Gamma Proforma featured works from 12 different artists in its 2010 print series, ranging from lush watercolor and illustration to stark, abstract designs. I'd like to think I fit somewhere in between with "The Interview" from Urban Cartography II: The Metro which was selected for December.
500 copies of this print are currently on sale for £25.00 at A2 size (420mm x 594mm). As drama continues to plague the oft-delayed launch of the AMV Store, Gamma Proforma has kindly offered an alternative in the meantime. Enjoy!

The formula is finally complete. The right paper, the right toner, the right this, the right that, whatever. I've got the first batch of AMV prints in my hands and I couldn't be happier with the results. I still have to get the store itself off the ground, and there are some extras I plan on including that will take a little longer to produce as well, but the biggest hurdle—the product itself—is behind me.
This particular batch was made for a very specific customer, so it doesn't reflect the selection that will be available in the store, but it certainly shows off the insane quality of these prints. The colors are vivid without being oversaturated, the details are as crisp as you can imagine and the paper is fantastic: uncoated stock with a special matte UV coating that results in the slightest hint of weight and sheen without being glossy or reflective.
I plan on having selections from Circuit Bent Type, Urban Cartography, Pavement Loop, The Imprint and perhaps a few others at launch. If you're interested in anything I don't carry, drop me a line and I'll decide if it's worth adding. The prints are purchased in bulk, of course, so I can't simply offer everything on demand, but I'll try to accommodate what I can.

My first test print for the AMV store arrived yesterday. Check out this entry from my Imprint series in all its 18x24" glory:
I'm not happy with the paper yet, but the print itself is fantastic. The colors and details match exactly what I've been looking at onscreen for months, and seeing these images at full size is just a completely different experience. I'm really excited about making these available.
I'm striving to squeeze as much quality as I can out of the current price point, however, so it'll probably be a few more iterations before the print shop and I get the right paper stock nailed down. It'll be worth the wait if all goes well. I also plan on throwing in as many extras as I can think of with each order, so all in all I think the AMV store is going to be officially badass.
Stay tuned!
