]]> Since the beginning of 2011, on the 12th of every month, Ketuv artist Tim Fite releases a limited edition print through his Etsy shop, as part of a larger series called “12 Months Rent,” ostensibly created to fulfill that most dreaded of New York City living expenses. Fite, who lives in Brooklyn and works at the wonderful Center for Book Arts in Manhattan, sells the lino-cut prints at the insanely low price of $25 to make sure that he approaches his goal of selling out all 50 prints, all 12 months (and because he’s a pretty cool dude). To this end, he offers rewards to repeat buyers– “triple threats” who have bought three prints, or to buyers who buy all 12 in the series. Both receive “downloads of unreleased, never before heard, extra-magic Tim Fite musical artifacts” (did we mention Tim is also a pretty accomplished musician?) and buyers of all 12 months receive an original one of a kind drawing made by Tim especially for you (unfortunately, if you’re hearing of 12 Months Rent from this blog post you’re too late for this).

We think this is pretty savvy for an artist who once told us “art is not a business, but selling art is; I’d choose making over selling any day.”

This month’s print is called “DAM BIKES“, and it depicts “a family of bicycle beavers building a dam out of beautiful bicycles.” Tim also adds that “in celebration of the halfway mark of the 12 Months Rent print series, fall has officially been declared – RAMBO SEASON!  Any order placed at my etsy store from now until Dec. 12 will be sweetened by a FREE RAMBO PRINT! There will be a new rambo print each month – collect them all!” (RAMBO SEASON? We don’t always know what he’s talking about, but we love him anyway.)

One of the things we love about Tim, besides the fact that he signs off all his emails with “Zang” (for those of you non-Wayne’s World fans– and I shudder to think that you are out there– that’s Cantonese for “excellent”), is that he’s always on the move– whether it’s a music show, a new album, a new print, an exhibition or whatnot. We strongly suggest you get on his mailing list.
