A limited Edition of an Original hand-pulled Print, with an increasing number by one each year.

The idea of printing a Birthday Edition originated during my studies at Portland State University.

The number of original prints will increase each year according to my own age in the respective calendar year.

The print is supposed to mirror events or effects of my interest that fascinate me, as well as objects, colors and patterns that have had a lasting impact on me during that particular year.

Therefore in each consecutive year a new copy will be added to the Birthday Edition, provided, if I would get the opportunity to work in specialized print facilities.

Thus print techniques may vary depending on whether I could work with a printing press or with wood printed by hand.

The print numbers 1 to 31 could represent a birthday date. Higher numbers could stand for year of birth, age (for instance for a 40th birthday), wedding or other anniversary dates.

Each new copy of the respective edition will then be for sale. Everyone interested can choose its own edition number, and can stick to it for the years to come, creating their own collection of original prints.

Particular dates for certain people can be signed with a dedication, which would be a special honor and pleasure for me.

Now some notes how to order: The editing date of new editions will start after the 29th of July every year.

All owners of previous editions will be informed of the new edition in order to be able to reserve a copy exclusively in advance. If an order or reservation for a certain issue number is not been made by the ordering deadline this specific issue number will be available for others to purchase.

The last number of the yearly Limited Edition will stay in my own collection.
