Mixing Art With Commerce. Poster art is expanding beyond concert promotion into small-business arenas as companies break away from conventional marketing. Fan favorite: Jay Ryan's limited-edition prints sell out in minutes. Forget Starbucks, Caribou and Seattle's Best. Chicagoans in the know frequent Metropolis Coffee Co., an independently owned cafe and coffee wholesaler located blocks from the Lake Michigan coastline in the city's Edgewater district. With its hip, scruffy clientele, amiably funky décor and fervent dedication to organic, small-batch artisan roasting, Metropolis doesn't operate like rival coffeehouses--which means it doesn't market its products and services like other coffeehouses either. Metropolis instead turns to Jay Ryan, the Chicago-area poster maker behind hundreds of screen-printed concert posters for renowned musicians, including the Decemberists, My Morning Jacket and Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy. Ryan is at the forefront of a renaissance in rock concert art, also known as gig posters.
Mixing Art With Commerce. Steve Walters' Screwball Press. Since 1991, Steve Walters (under the moniker Screwball Press) has been printing posters, CD packaging, and a variety of other collectible items for Chicago's indie rock community. Over the years, he has had the opportnity to train and/or work with some of his (and your) favorite local artists including Bob Hartzell, Kristen Thiele, Jay Ryan, Mike Benedetto, Keith Herzik, and Jason Frederick. Around 2000, Steve looked back on ten years of work and reailzed that working with these people was the single most satisfying aspect of Screwball Press. So he began to implement the Screwball Academy based on the extension of the Minutemen's "band in every garage" credo (and I think we can all agree on what a mess THAT'S turned out to be).
Steve wanted to see a printer in every band. At present, Steve has taught 36 people over the past 18 months, most of whom still use the facilities to print personal projects as well as a few who run their own printing businesses.

Huckleberry Fine Art. Susan Rios Designs. Circle Fine Art, Dyansen, Martin Lawrence<br />Junk Art - Some Public Firms Are Cashing In on It - Schiff's Insurance Observer. October 30, 1989 It's been said that the ideal product costs pennies to produce, sells for big bucks and is addictive. The stuff sold by three art gallery chains-Circle Fine Art, Dyansen Corp., and Martin Lawrence Limited Editions-doesn't quite fit that bill, but it comes close.
The three, whose shares trade over the counter, use mass merchandising to sell "signed limited edition" prints and sculptures, usually produced in lots of 300-500. Each work is described as "fine art"-a term that many critics would call a misnomer. And these art objects carry very lofty retail margins. Simply put, the name of the game is selling class to the masses-at least the masses of 30- to 50-year-olds with enough discretionary income to shell out several thousand dollars for objects produced in bulk and which may satisfy some buyers' psychological need to show that they have "arrived.

Art Business Tumbles Into Bankruptcy - Bankruptcy Beat. Applejack Art Partners’ Rapid Expansion Drives It Into Chapter 11 Bankruptcy | Reed's Bankruptcy Blog.
July 24th, 2010 by Reed Allmand Applejack Art Partners Inc., which manufactures fine art prints and sells sports memorabilia, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy after efforts to rapidly expand their company met with a faltering economy. The company which sells everything from Andy Warhol prints to chunks of turf from the Dallas Cowboys’ end zone is hoping to sell its assets in Chapter 11 bankruptcy which it says is the only way they can survive. “The company made some expansion decisions in the past few years which turned out to be improvident in light of the circumstances surrounding the purchases and the declining state of the economy,” he said. “Without the sale, the company believes it would not be able to continue.”
