BROOKLYNITE / ARTISTS HANDMADE INVITES . . ., by BROOKLYNITE on May 14, 2010 19:20:34 GMT 1,

As many of you know, since we started Brooklynite Gallery in 2008, we've asked each artist(s) to create a handmade flyer to help promote their show, as well as give people a small piece of FREE artwork.

Although the logistics of putting these small little projects together can be very challenging and costly, the gesture has been a huge success. So much so that we've run into a bit of a dilemma.

Many of you have emailed us asking how it would be possible to crack the mailing list and receive these little beauties? Some have even offered chocolate and/or brew as a barter. Well we had a little chin wag about it and figured... Surely some people on the list are not concerned with these invites and wouldn't give a damn if we took them off the list-- (We like to call these people, "dead weights"). But how can we determine who the "dead weights" are?

Take the factors mentioned above and then add the costs of materials, printing, envelopes, postage, carbon foot-prints and bottles of aspirin --and these "dead weights" are simply holding you other chaps back from a fine framed piece of artwork to hang on your wall.

So here's what we've come up with---

Starting with our upcoming exhibition, "SURFACE TENSION" for Guy Denning & David Walker we will begin to list the invites in our on-line SHOP section. If you truly want one, simply click on the image and pay ONLY the postage amount (NO ADDED FEES) and the invite is yours. NO begging. NO biases.

We hope this will give some new people an opportunity to get their hands one.

Please note: Although nothing is ever perfect, we will be closely monitoring this new system with the help of some highly accredited quality control specialists at BP.
