Panel Sales
Map panels look great in your home or business! Panels are available through the JerrysMap store on Etsy.
Jerry depends on these sales to be small reaffirmations of the creative path he has been on all his adult life.
Much of what you receive when you buy an “original” is the inkjet copy of the previous iteration of that panel with varying amounts of fresh work- either in paint or collage- superimposed on the copy. He has always attempted to print in archival ink, but has noticed that old panels are sometimes faded. So, please try to be protective when displaying panels to ultraviolet light.
The sale of a panel constitutes the final phase in the creation of the art. The process is not complete until the work has found a safe home somewhere in the world. Until then it is just another sheet of paper sitting in a stack in Jerry’s studio.
Every new purchaser gets a town named after him/her. If you'd rather not have your family name inscribed on the Map or would rather he used another name please let him know. And, if you don't live in the U.S., please send Jerry your address so that he can notify you when your name has been used. Stone is currently number two on the wait-list of names.
It's Jerry’s dream that one day, probably long after he is dead, that these panels will get reassembled to create a giant Map in some museum or other large public venue. Jerry told one museum director of this fantasy, and he told him that it would never happen, that museums already had too difficult a time borrowing each other's works. But....who knows? Maybe a new age of co-operation and goodwill will prevail, and there will be a great coming together!
You can help preserve Jerry’s work by buying more Map items and by encouraging your friends to collect them, too. All proceeds from the sale of these things go back directly into the project and will help pay for supplies and for the valuable work of Jerry’s part-time assistant, Bret, who scans, copies, and archives the work.
