There are two versions of LIFEGUARD in the show. The first is seen here, the second is on canvas and this is the background before it was painted!

Apologies if this question seems obvious, but how does one get to see Or purchase the art for sale?
Is there someone we should email or contact? Those graphics on the window are awesome , like the old school 60's 50's vibe of those signs, they look like old adverts.

i'd like to see that flower pattern in 18 x 18! used to have the 3 18 x 24s up and always thought they'd be slightly cooler done square like the venice pattern set (that drop still grinds my gears)

Didn't the Venice drop happen late in the day? I seem to remember waiting a long time for the drop then missing out.
