Already seen on the cover of the new issue of Juxtapoz, The Mac’s Song of Songs painting will be available shortly in print form. Made to commemorate the artist’s Faces of Life exhibit – which opens tomorrow – the seven-colour print measures a large 30×40″, and is limited to 50, of which only 5 will be available at the gallery on opening night.
