Upper Playground and Jeremy Fish have just released our new print, “The Golden Hills,” as an opening message to Fish’s exhibition at FIFTY24SF this summer. The print is made in an edition of 100, signed and numbered the artist, and printed at the fantastic Bloom Press in Oakland, California.
The print is currently on sale at Upper Playground’s webstore.
“This drawing was inspired by that looming feeling that San Francisco is an isolated island from the rest of the country.
