This edition is limited to 60 prints, and we have fewer than 15 left.

Each 18″ × 12″ giclée print on high-quality archival paper is hand-signed and numbered by the artist with a white border suitable for framing. Prints are shipped in a rigid stay-flat mailer.

“Portals,” by artist and illustrator James R. Eads, was specially commissioned for this first issue of Ember. Limited-edition prints, signed and numbered by the artist, are available for purchase here or through the artist’s website.

James R. Eads was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and began drawing at a very young age. After graduating from high school, James went on to study art at Skidmore College in Upstate New York. He graduated with a focus in printmaking and painting, and while there he was honored with several awards—including the juried award of Best Senior Exhibition in his class. James then migrated to Brooklyn, where he held a variety of artistic internships and jobs before moving back to LA to pursue art full-time. In the past two years, James has combined his love for printmaking and painting into a single art form: digital painting with an emphasis on high-quality, limited-edition prints.

When everything collides perfectly, he can use his artistic background to illustrate for musically related projects and has since begun to take on gig poster illustration.

James has worked with clients such as the Black Keys, Phish, the Dave Matthews Band, Amos Lee, Ray LaMontagne, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Nickel Creek, moe., Andrew Bird, and more.
