This exhibition presents poster prints from the Bird Machine, produced with environmentally safe non-toxic inks. The Bird Machine has recently moved to printing on 100% recycled paper stock which is manufactured using hydroelectric power, produced in Michigan. Although earlier prints in the exhibit were printed on non-recycled paper, his more recent prints in this exhibition are printed on this new recycled paper. Visit the press website: www.thebirdmachine.com.

This exhibition is held in conjunction with and in support of Western Illinois University’s 2007-2008 Campus Theme:  “Global Challenges, Personal Responsibility and Environmental Sustainability.”
