Green Just Got Greener!


Vermilion Tea Box Print, $275, at Grasshopper 510


Providing you with environmentally friendly gift options is important to us, here at Grasshopper 510; so, when we find out our favorite products are even more green than before we can't wait to share the news!
Fellow Chicago resident, and eco-conscious artist extraordinaire, Dolan Geiman, has been gracing walls with his unique art for several years. Thoughtfully designed, and invoking his philosophy of "contemporary art with a southern accent," Dolan's pieces range from one-of-a-kind works to budget-minded reproductions - all of which are eco-friendly.
We are happy to announce that ALL of Dolan's box print reproductions are now using even more environmentally friendly printing standards:
  • 100% solvent-free inks
  • 100% VOC-free inks
  • Formaldehyde-free wood panels
  • Poplar, a fast-growing, readily replenished wood species is used for the back-frame
  • Reproductions are produced by small, locally-owned businesses in the USA, cutting down on shipping pollution and strengthening the community's economic base

Stop in to see our selection of Dolan Geiman box print reproductions, his ever-changing stock of hand-screened panel prints, and other earth-friendly art for your home.

Here's to green art getting greener!
