Changes, newest first
We date every change here rather than showing a banner.
- 2026-10-13 Every edition drops from fifty to twenty-five, counted across the canvas sizes. A refunded number is retired and never issued again, so an edition can close at fewer than twenty-five. Checkout refuses a cover once twenty-five numbers are taken or retired. No edition had sold under the old cap.
- 2026-10-13 Robber Baron opens. Terms set the edition of fifty across the canvas sizes, the open paper proof, the sitting numbered outside the fifty, delivery included in the United States, and the sitting rules: the uploader is the sitter or holds written permission, the sitter is an adult, one person only, no public figure, no uniform or insignia, and no real person named in a caption. Privacy says the photograph is never written to our storage and names Stripe, Prodigi, OpenAI, Claid, Resend and Vercel. One cookie is set, to count free sittings.
