Brick And Mortar Tapestries

A perfect gift for an entrepreneur or a business owner. This is the time to let your entrepreneurial instincts guide you. Gone is the time people used to go to the store to buy stuff, now they'd just click and wait for their stuff to get to their door. If you're a local entrepreneur, this is high time you transition into e-commerce. Change is inevitable. Growth is optional - John Maxwell

Despite the name, West Coast Video was a chain of video rental stores founded in Northeast Philadelphia in 1983 by Elliot Stone. During the next three months, Stone established a chain by launching three more stores, growing it to more than 200 locations in 1987. In 1988, West Coast acquired all 455 National Video stores, giving them a total of 660 stores and making them the world’s largest video rental chain at that time. Like most brick and mortar video rental stores, West Coast Video folded in 2009, but some existing stores continued to use the West Coast banner and run independently before eventually folding as well over the years that followed.

The Wall Series of monoprints were all created using a gelli plate and a lino cut after which digital text or images were added.
