Green and red options out of the UK too.

Red seems to be different than the Brooklyn Vegan variant somehow (maybe translucent vs. opaque), and /1000 with a signed print. Green seems to be UK indies.

YES!   One of the bundles on his site includes  an "Original handmade line drawing of José Gonzalez made by the album artwork designer Hannele Ferstrom (@hannele_gernstrom).  Drawing is signed by José and Hannele.  Limited and numbered to 250 copies worldwide."

 

I wonder if each individual piece is hand drawn or if it is an original that is copied?

 

Very tempting, but I'd rather have a shirt than a tote...

I dunno. I absolutely love his first two albums, and quite enjoyed everythin’ from Junip, but his last album just didn’t do much to me. These first two singles aren’t doin’ anythin’ to impress me yet.

It's totally different (well not TOTALLY), but if you haven't listened to/ watched his stuff with the String Theory, you should. I saw them live and it was insanely good.

I've e-mailed Port Merch to ask about this. "Original handmade" really suggests unique drawings (and on the EU shop, "handmade" is even italicized), and they probably should be for what shakes out to roughly a $75 premium over buying the LP + prints and the tote. It becomes much less interesting if it's just a signed print.

 

In any case, if their online inventory for the US shop is accurate, they aren't selling through many of these bundles. I could cart 117 yesterday, and 114 today.

 

Update: Port Merch never responded, so I e-mailed the artist. She was kind enough to confirm the /250 drawings are all unique, hand-drawn originals, though will look similar because they are based on the same sketch.
