“Liquid Garden” Screen Print by Ilovedust x Collectionzz x Jimi Hendrix

Collectionzz continues its Art Unleashed: Rock Art for a Cause Screen Print Series with the Jimi Hendrix inspired “Liquid Garden” by Ilovedust! This ongoing series is a collaboration with some amazing artists from around the world, who are very well-recognized within the world of rock and gig posters, with two goals in mind: to raise money for charity, and to bring to members of Collectionzz some of the most phenomenal rock art they’ve ever seen. What’s great about this project is that Collectionzz will be donating all profits from the sales of the art to the charities of the artists’ choices.

As Collectionzz explained, Liquid Garden is “a 60s-style psychedelic rock poster based on ‘Voodoo Child’ by Jimi Hendrix. It is a mind bending and colorful illustration with many references to the classic Jimi Hendrix song. While it is one of the most impressive silkscreen posters we've ever seen, Ilovedust's approach to the project was simple: ‘when Jimi calls we know where to go.’ Well, they went there!” Ilovedust’s charity of choice for this release is the Yeovil Hospital.

Liquid Garden by Ilovedust is an 18”x24” hand numbered eight color screen print. The Main Edition is limited to 100 pieces and retails for $75, while the Variant Edition is limited to 75 pieces and retails for $100. 5 random tubes of the Main Edition will include a super rare Lava Foil Variant, while 5 random tubes of the Variant Edition will include a super rare Rainbow Foil Variant. Both versions go on sale at the Collectionzz online store at 1:30pm EDT on Friday, June 15th, for Collectionzz members and at 2pm EDT for non-members.
