little_and_large_editions_motto_91010

Little & Large Editions was set up to produce and distribute little and large editions. Our plan is to offer artists the opportunity to work with us on fabricating their ideas. We want to work with both little and large artists, the hope is that the large artists will help pay for the little artists and occasionally vice versa. Our goal is to realise things and make these things available.
Our aim is to run this company as a non profit organisation.
We want to make money for artists who need money and some for those who do not.

We’d like to offer editions that we would like to own and ones that you will want to buy. Any profits, both little and large, will go directly back into running the company.

We are proud to present our first edition with Dave Allen –
It swung back and forth, back and forth until forever. Then it stopped and howled endlessly.
A 12″ vinyl record with printed sleeve will be played and for sale at Motto or through our website www.littleandlargeeditions.com

Drinks will be served – dress accordingly
start: 20pm
