20x200 and Jimi King

Two quick links to interesting things I found in the past two weeks:

We introduce two new pieces a week: one photo and one work on paper. Each image is available in three sizes.* The smallest size is reprinted in the largest batch – an edition of 200 – and sold at the lowest price – $20. Hence the name 20x200. (200x20 just didn't sound as good.) We also offer bigger prints for bolder collectors - medium-sized editions of 20 for $200, and large-sized editions of 2 generally for $2000 (some of the large sized editions will actually be original pieces of art and prices will vary a bit). Every single print is delivered with a certificate of authenticity numbered by the artist.

20x200 sells art in cheap and expensive versions. Via Kottke

Via Rick Segal comes the story of Jimi King:

At noon (eastern time) on Sunday, a fine fellow named Jimi King does a live Internet only, radio show on www.sky.fm. (…) It's smooth jazz and may not be your taste of you music. This show, tho, is a perfect window in how to build an audience virally and via social media sites/tools.

Read the whole piece.
