Chuck Anderson has just put 12 new pieces of work up at NoPattern. Eight of them are archival quality giclee prints on Hahnemuhle photo rag – and if you’ve ever seen a print on that up close, you know it’s some beautiful paper. Of the remaining four prints, one is a collaborative piece with Nigel Dennis of ElectricHeat. Check them all out and enjoy. The work is for sale at the NP&CO online store. Prices range from $60 to $125 USD and each print is individually numbered.
