We always said that if we printed Five out of Ten, we’d do it right. So we’ve teamed up with Society6 to offer some beautiful art prints that have graced our covers over our first two years.
These are not cheap wall posters: these are gallery quality Giclée prints using Epson archival ink. You can order any size from 8“ x 10” mini to 28“ x 38” extra-large prints, depending on the resolution of the original artwork, and you can get framed prints or even stretched canvas. All profits from each sale go to the artist, unless otherwise stated. Prints for Soul (Emilie Majarian), Power (Elizabeth Simins), Heart (Alan Williamson), and Reflecting Reality (Paul Williamson) are available to buy now, and we’ll be adding more over the next few days. Keep an eye on our Twitter for new releases.
For our first weekend, Society6 are offering free worldwide shipping and $5 off every print – use this link to get the offer. Promotion expires December 14, 2014 at Midnight Pacific Time. We don’t have control over the offer, so don’t miss out!
One of the art prints is the cover of our brand-new issue, Soul, by Emilie Majarian. This marks the second anniversary of Five out of Ten and features writing from Denis Farr, Austin Howe, Richard Moss, Michelle Perez and Carli Velocci. We’ve also permanently lowered the price of Soul and all our previous issues to just £2.50. You can buy it right here!
Whenever you purchase the magazine, you’ll receive a link to download a PDF, ePUB and MOBI (for Kindle). You’ll also create an account, which will allow you to download your purchases at any time. We proudly serve DRM-free files.
