D.A.M.M. Editions
D.A.M.M. Editions follow in the long, rebellious tradition of artists who understood that an edition is not a compromise — it is a power move. From Andy Warhol’s screenprints to Keith Haring’s pop multiples, Shepard Fairey’s street-edition graphics, Takashi Murakami’s factory-bright prints, and Damien Hirst’s editioned works, the edition has always been a way to move art out of the ivory tower and into the hands of real collectors.
D.A.M.M. — Digital Analog Mixed Media — continues that lineage with a contemporary twist. Each image begins from a digital origin, but no final work is simply “printed and done.” Every piece is pulled back into the physical world through an organic, human-hand process: surface work, tonal shifts, drawing, glazing, texture, wax, and other analog interventions. The digital image becomes the starting point, not the finish line. The hand disrupts the machine. The object becomes alive.
Because of that, every piece in a D.A.M.M. Edition is unique. These are not identical reproductions. They are variable editions: related works from the same image family, each one individually finished, altered, and marked. Size, surface, color treatment, handwork, and finish can vary across the edition, creating a living body of work rather than a fixed mechanical run.
Each piece is individually identified and marked within the edition structure, noting its edition family, size, surface, and variable state. A 12 x 12 and a 30 x 40 may belong to the same visual lineage, but they exist as different objects, with different presence, scale, and physical attitude.
The philosophy is simple: editions democratize scale, access, and cost without flattening the art. Not every collector starts with the largest work in the room. D.A.M.M. Editions allow the same image universe to exist across multiple sizes and price points — from intimate, affordable objects to full-scale statement pieces — while keeping the work collectible, limited, and artist-driven.
It is fine art with range. Digital-born, hand-finished, physically present, and built for collectors who want something alive on the wall — not just another print.
DAMM Art (Digital Analog Mixed Media) describes a process where an image is not simply created, but gradually becomes—moving from idea to object through a layered, hybrid evolution.
The work begins with a visual gathering phase: fragments of form, pattern, and gesture drawn loosely from historical iconography and contemporary sources. These references are not replicated but reinterpreted—broken down and reassembled into a new visual language that feels both familiar and elusive.
From there, the process unfolds in a fluid exchange between digital construction and physical intervention. Digital format tools : Collage , Illustration, Photography and Painting act as a kind of early-stage sketch partner—introducing unexpected rhythms, pattern logic, and compositional possibilities. These are never endpoints, but starting points—pushed, edited, and often disrupted through drawing, surface work, and hand and head-driven decision making.
As the piece transitions onto a physical support, it shifts from images to a single object. Layers of pigment, mark, and material are built up, altered, and partially concealed. The final stage is transformative: the entire surface is wrapped in encaustic wax, fusing the accumulated layers into a unified skin. This wax envelope deepens the image, introduces luminosity, and physically seals the work—holding time, touch, and process within it. Other Finishing Techniques are available . but this is the hallmark of Edition 33
The result is DAMM Art—an object-based image that carries multiple origins at once: echoes of historical visual language, subtle traces of digital exploration, and the unmistakable presence of the artist’s hand. The final piece stands as a complete object in itself—fully encased in encaustic wax, composed of thousands of tiny moments: micro-decisions, gestures, marks, and adjustments, all fused into a single, unified surface where every layer, every touch, and every choice lives together as one.
Edition 33
One Image. Thirty-Three Opportunities. No More.
Each Bollinger image is released through Edition 33, a finite collector framework limited to thirty-three large-format works of art.
Collectors are free to select scale, surface, and presentation, while the rarity of the image remains protected. As works enter private collections, the remaining opportunities become increasingly limited. Once all thirty-three works have been placed, the image is permanently retired.
Created through a D.A.M.M. (Digital Analog Mixed Media) process, each work combines digital image-making with traditional studio craftsmanship. Works are further developed through handwork and physical interventions, including drawing, painting, surface development, and, as a well-loved option, a hand-applied Beeswax Hot Encaustic or an Archival Museum Varnish Gloss or Matt finish. The result is a distinctive art object with its own individual character.
Edition 33 offers collectors the opportunity to acquire a work from a carefully curated and finite body of art—created to be collected, lived with, enjoyed, and handed down.
