Mambo print hits milestone

Jim Flora Art LLC recently sold #100 of the Mambo For Cats limited edition screen print. As originally announced, the first 100 prints (of 200 produced) were sold for $150/ea., with the caveat that prices would be increased as stock was depleted.

JFA is now releasing a block of 25 more prints at $175/ea. The 1955 illustration originally appeared on a 12″ x 12″ RCA Victor LP cover, but the print measures an outsized 20″ x 20″. The edition was produced using three acrylic screen printing inks meticulously matched to Flora’s original colors on archival 100-pound off-white cover stock. All prints are numbered and authenticated.

If your budget is limited but you’d still like a Jim Flora LP cover in a 20″ x 20″ archival screen edition, the Pete Jolly Duo print (also featuring a 1955 RCA Victor illo) sells for $125. (Price applies to #2-51 of the print run of 125, after which—well, you know the drill).
