Now, we are very happy to present this modest yet essential collection of extraordinary works by the rediscovered Arthur Radebaugh, the work of many coming together to present the work of an amazing imagineer.

The prints are large and take up real visual real estate.  All have been built out to work easily with inexpensive store bought frames, or custom framed as you see fit.  Lively up your home or work place, or those of friends and family.  Enjoy!
______________________________________________

The story of futurist illustrator Arthur Radebaugh is long and delightfully multi faceted.  It is well told in the recently completed documentary CLOSER THAN WE THINK, by filmmaker Brett Ryan Bonowicz and his production company CLINDAR, which made its well received debut at the Other World Austin festival and has gone on to be named  
BEST DOCUMENTARY at the recent massively major 
Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival 
and the Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival, as well as runner up at the Berlin SciFi Festival.  The film, which covers our rediscovery and reigniting of interest in Radebaugh here in Philadelphia as well as the fascinating narrative of his life and impact, can be viewed via Vimeo.  We recommend it!

My role, as an historian and rabid collector of unusual imagery, was to be in the right place at the right moment to acquire a lost portfolio of his work, and to recognize that here was someone worth snatching from obscurity and savoring every morsel of information we could find about this undeservedly obscure imagineer.

With my associate Jared Rosenbaum, we curated an exhibit that took form at exactly the pace we could fill in the blanks.  What was at the time the brand new internet connected us with others who knew him or knew his work, the method we take for granted nowadays, but absolutely thrilling in its newness and apropos to Radebaugh and the concept of ‘the future’.  The resulting exhibition was an international hit, thanks in large part to a world wide heads up given the rediscovered Radebaugh by Popular Science online.  Again, please capture the feeling if you will of yesterday’s future being promoted to the world by the sudden arrival of the future.  It was delicious!!!

The prints here at The Grand Review are selections from that exhibit, called RADEBAUGH, THE FUTURE WE WERE PROMISED.  The show traveled from Philadelphia  to The Utopiales Festival in Nantes, which proved a wonderful adventure for me, my wife Kristin Kimmell, Jared and his fiance, Rachel Mackow.

When it returned to the States, Jared Rosenbaum recurated the exhibit and took it to Detroit where it was given the honor of serving as the inaugural exhibit for the brand new facility for The National Automotive History Collection.

Next year, Chicago based design history author Tim Lapetino will present his book on the story of our favorite futurist, and we’re very much looking forward to it.  From Tim’s website… “I’m obsessed with exploring and understanding the creative process, and I love telling the stories of unheralded creative people who work beyond the spotlight.”

Over the next year, we will add a few more prints to the collection, mostly obscure and sometimes unacknowledged Radebaugh rarities we discovered and stashed away over these past 17 years of collecting.

Now, we are very happy to present this modest yet essential collection of extraordinary works by the rediscovered Arthur Radebaugh.

Enjoy!!!

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.

Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps.  The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands.  That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here.  See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”

There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.

There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.

Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road.  I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle!  So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.

This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.

This is the one you want...

I bought a ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ from Amazon in 2011 for $112.49, and recently decided to recommission it in my new living room. It looked so nice that I decided to add a second rug, and was pleased to find what Amazon claimed to be the same rug still available for only $83.78. Now I’m not one of those silly folks who expects the color and/or size of a natural product like a sheepskin rug to be perfectly predictable, and my living room is large enough that I didn’t need the two rugs to match perfectly, but when the new rug arrived, I couldn’t have been more disappointed. It was about 40% smaller than my older rug, was way, way off from anything that could be called white, and looked cheap, old, and tattered. I tried to comb it out a bit to see if I could make it look presentable, but it was a lost cause. Amazon to the rescue. I returned the rug to Amazon for a full refund the next morning, and the transaction couldn’t have been simpler. And I immediately ordered the ‘Genuine Sheepskin Rug Double Pelt Natural White Fur 2x6’ shown on this page from Super Area Rugs for $119.00. What a difference! These rugs are large, plush, and super soft. The quality of these rugs is obvious, much, much nicer that either my old sheepskin rug or the ‘bargain’ rug I returned to Amazon. I was so impressed with the quality of this rug that I immediately ordered a second, which arrived this morning (it matches the other rug perfectly). My older sheepskin has been reassigned to another room because, well, it’s not in the same league as my two new rugs, which look terrific together. As is so often the case, you get what you pay for. So if you’re looking for a top quality sheepskin rug, this is the one you want.

Very nice fleeces
This is a clean, soft, well groomed fleece intended for use on a 6 foot long sofa, so bought 2. They moved too much as a result of shifting bodies on the leather couch, so will get a longer version, sewn bottom to bottom, and used each of these fleeces on both armrests, instead.

Excellent Product!!! Will purchase again!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
Instead of ordering a cover for reclining loveseats, I chose to drape one of these over the headrest on either end of our loveseat. Not only do they protect the leather, they also help to elevate our decor. The rugs were received in a very timely manner. They are super soft, & warming as we move into the winter months. We've had family & friends comment on how great they look. 2 of them have already ordered, & added them to their sofa/loveseat/recliner decor. Have an issue of them slipping, add some velcro in between the crook of the cushion & the back of the furniture piece. It doesn't show & will help to keep the rug in place; if your busy body.!

Perfect for sensory sensitive kids and for the pure beauty of it

After speaking over the phone with the seller, I was confident in this purchase for my SPD son. They do not use harsh chemicals or dyes in the process. It is from New Zealand and the only use in Vietnam is for shipping. My son hasn't been diagnosed yet for Autism but he is in the process. He is super sensitive to all things sensory and Amazon feedback isn't the place to give specific details on his condition but I will write that when he fist touched it- which was willingly- he smiled and asked to sleep on it. When he laid down on it and I covered him- he was calm and smiling. In the pic I provided he is calm and holding his door (his obsession is doors and windows). He even set his door down to hold the fur. For other mommies and papas with spd/autistic kids you know that willingly touching a new fabric and setting down an obsessive item is huge and super encouraging! I am so grateful to have such a quality item that is affordable for my special needs son. His older sister received one as well as is now pretending to be a sheep. Fun for everyone! The ONLY negative is that the brand/info sticker on the pelt was a pain to get off and pulled some of the felt - not damaging it but blemishing the unity -but if the skin is down it will not be noticeable. A super fun detail is that all of the fur is combed out but there were a few strands that were wavy and had a slight curl- I LOVED that. There was no odor at all which is great! I expected an animal smell which is better than chlorine or dioxin which is what competitors use in their process. There is no noticeable seam in the middle on the top where the two pelts are gathered. I am soooo satisfied!

Exactly as described and what I needed.
Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
I have a bad back along with other medical problems. I bought this for padding in my wheelchair. Very thick, soft, flexible, everything I needed. No smell and very little shedding even initially. Arrived quickly and well packaged.
