Samaritan Press
Sleep Button Set
These buttons were made by me here at Samaritan Press and are not in continuous production.
When I used to man the merch table at Sleep shows I would often make a one-off handmade item to be had for a donation or very affordable price.
I've just found a very limited number of sets in July 2021. They were made in 2014 or so and will never be made again.
Classic style pinback 2.25" pin.
The Marijuanaut artwork was from a DV D'Andrea original which was also used for a vinyl etching, shirt and poster. The Iommi image was simply a nod to the Master, as the band used to do.
They were printed on my Risograph and pressed by hand on my button machine.
*One set per customer. If you order more than one set I reserve the right to cancel your order. Thanks. *
If purchased with a poster they will be shipped separately in a small box.
Shipped via USPS Priority mail.

Shipping
Posters are shipped in a sturdy tube via USPS Priority mail.
I usually do mailorder fulfillment on Fridays but it can vary.
I've been offering posters via mailorder for over 15 years and pride myself on honesty and integrity. That said, the mail service is sometimes responsible for damage and/or loss.
In these very occasional cases I always replace your poster or refund the money. Thanks for your support! David

All posters are screen printed on a semi-automatic press. This is an analogue printing technique in which one color at a time is printed with mesh screens.
The majority of my posters are printed at Broken Press (Seattle) or Monolith Press (Alameda CA).
-
Yes. All of my posters are made in collaboration directly (or via management) with the band. In most cases bands have heavy input regarding the artwork.

No. Band posters are printed one time in a signed and numbered edition. In a few cases I have created a second edition for different show dates or tours. If this happens I usually also change the colorway and/or paper.
When an edition is “sold out”, it is literally sold out. In an age of “print on demand” services I feel I need to clarify this fact.
