Buy artwork directly from Abstract Collage online store

You can now buy artwork directly from Dan Schreck through the AbstractCollage website. The store resides in the section called Available.

I have quite a bit of experience in artwork fulfillment and realize that shipping can be a real headache, especially when it comes to art. I’ve decided to offer free shipping on all artwork purchases to help alleviate this stress.

Framed pieces from the ‘Snail Mail Security’ series are now available as well as a few other pieces. Stay tuned, different types of artwork will be featured in the future as well as possible additions from other artists.

New secure envelope pieces. Long Live Snail Mail!

Here are new additions to the Snail Mail Security series. The images are created from an evergrowing collection of business envelopes. The patterns are used to make secure envelopes though I find them absolutely amazing. Long live snail mail!

Top 10 hand opened envelopes I have collected

I have begun to catalog the hundreds of envelopes in my collection. Here is a selection of the top 10 hand opened envelopes I have collected.

To make it into the top 10 list the pattern of course had to be great. This is not, however, a list of the top envelope patterns. The way the envelope was opened and how it was treated through the mail delivery system is also, if not more, important. Since I have received envelopes from many amazing friends and fans we can enjoy a wide variety of different opening techniques, mistakes, and frustrations, all taken out on the paper. Take notice that sometimes the glued flap comes completely off, sometimes partially, and sometimes barely at all.

We are proud to announce the 2014 New Trier Alumni Art Show, featuring a sampling of alumni artwork from 1945-2013. The exhibition covers many types of artistic mediums, including drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, glass, and video.

This is the first alumni art show of its kind to cover such a wide range of graduates and mediums. Current New Trier students will be able to see the different artistic paths that graduates have chosen. We hope the show will encourage a dialogue between different generation of artists and inspire young artists to pursue their dreams! The exhibition will be on display through February 28th.
