Welcome to the
Hot Off The Press Art Subscription
Sign-up for four surprise letterpress prints shipped directly to you or your loved ones over the course of the year. Hot Off The Press got its name because these prints are the freshest ideas coming out of the Gingerly Press studio, inspired by my latest inspiration. Oftentimes subscription prints are the spark for an entire forthcoming collection of related work, and by signing up, you or your loved one will receive one of the very first prints in the edition before the print is available to the public at a later date.
New Gifting Options
You can treat yourself or your loved one to a whole subscription, or you can gift each of the four prints to different friends to enjoy individually. Any combination of gifting will do, just fill out the mailing info for where you want the gifted prints to go in the form at checkout!
Add frames to your gifts to make sure your loved ones can enjoy the artwork on their wall right away too!
What will the surprise artwork look like?
You can expect the artwork in the subscription to follow our general Gingerly Press style: colorful, modern, optimistic & sustainably minded! My main three styles of composition are story-based abstracts, whimsical landscapes and text-based illustrations and you can expect the prints to follow any one of these styles in the classic Gingerly Press color palette!
Click the images below to see examples of these various three styles of work.

Add a Frame, Create a Quarterly Refreshing Ritual
Include an oak wood magnetic frame with your subscription to help save on wall space and create a seasonal refreshing ritual of swapping out your original letterpress printed artwork every quarter— think of it like flipping the calendar page!
Gifting your subscription to four different friends? Include a frame with each print shipment so your loved ones can enjoy their original artwork on their walls right away! You can also treat yourself to the four frames if you’re aiming for consistency on your gallery wall!

Original Art with a Story
Each quarterly print mailing is an original letterpress printed artwork created with vintage metal or wood type & ornaments and hand-carved wood blocks and possibly also some experimental blocks! Each print tends to include anywhere from 4-6 hand-mixed color layers.
Each print mailing includes a digitally printed note from the artist explaining the inspiration behind the artwork.
Each mailing also comes with a letterpress printed Certificate of Authenticity which includes the limited edition numbering, year the artwork was created, artwork title and artist signature.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the price include shipping?
Yes, indeed, shipping is already calculated into the subscription price for domestic shipping within the United States. At the moment I am not offering International subscriptions, but maybe in 2024 if I hear interest!
…..
Can I sign up for a 2024 subscription in the new year?
Unfortunately, no, the 2024 Subscription closes on December 19th at midnight ET and that’s it for the year! Subscriptions for 2025 will open up in autumn 2024. If you miss the 2024 cut-off, jump on the waitlist (available after December 19, 2023) to be the first to know when the 2025 subscriptions open later in the year!
…..
Is 8x10” the only size available for the subscription and is it a standard frame size?
Yes and yes! For the 2024 Subscription, all four quarterly prints will be 8 x 10” in portrait (vertical) orientation. With this unified orientation, it is easy to swap out your quarterly prints in the magnetic wood frame for fresh seasonal inspiration, but 8 x 10” is a standard size frame so you can also use a different style of frame, with or without a mat.
…..
Will the subscription prints also be available for sale individually?
Yes, that is likely. However, prints may not be available individually in the site shop for a couple months or more after being shipped to subscribers. Many of my subscription prints are small scale tests of larger ideas & techniques that may result in a whole wall art collection or product line, and when that is the case, I often wait to launch the subscription print until I launch the rest of the entire collection for a unified presentation. So if you want first dibs or sneak peeks of possible future collections, sign up for the subscription!
…..
Can I gift a subscription?
Yes, of course! The Hot Off The Press Quarterly Subscription makes for a great gift that keeps on giving all year round! Also, you can now gift each of the four quarterly prints to different loved ones too— a great way to cover four birthdays over the course of the year! Choose the Four Frames option to round off the gifts so your friend can enjoy the print as soon as it arrives. There will be a shipping info form that pops up when you add the subscription to your cart. Fill out the various names, shipping addresses, emails and any gift messages you want to include to the folks you want to gift to and I’ll make sure they receive their gift with credit to you within their designated quarter! Of course you can always ship the prints to yourself too and give them to loved ones in person as well.
…..
If the prints are a surprise, how will I know I’ll like them?
Most good things in life come with a little bit of risk! While I can’t guarantee you’ll fall head-over-heels for every print I produce, I can assure you’ll find joy in the subscription bundle if you already enjoy my colorful & minimalist printed aesthetic with environmentalist themes. =)
…..
Will the quarterly prints act as one unified collection?
No, most likely not. The subscription is called Hot Off The Press because the quarterly prints are my freshest nuggets of inspiration often acting as studies of new, possibly forthcoming, larger collections of work, or sometimes they just remain as one-off ideas that don’t end up inspiring a future collection at all. Either way, they will be somewhat unified through the Gingerly Press signature color palette, but designs may be printed with different color combinations within that palette and different themes from quarter to quarter.
