To celebrate the first installation of the Pac-Mondrian Artcade Cabinet, the Prize Budget for Boys collaborated with award-winning graphic designer Stan Bevington and master printer Anthony Glenesk of the Coach House Press to design and print a series of Pac-Mondrian postcards detailing the historical development of the game.

The four 4" x 6" cards entitled 'Concept', 'Model', 'Production', and 'Product' were printed 4-colour offset and laminated under the direct supervision of PBFB Standing Member Neil M Hennessy, the creator of Pac-Mondrian. The two artists who appear in the photograph on the 'Production' card are PBFB Standing Member Mike Brown, who designed and painted the Artcade Cabinet, and PBFB Standing Member Mike Horgan, who modified the hardware.

Before cutting, the cards are printed on a single 10" x 14" sheet. A final press check proof for each process colour, Magenta, Yellow, Cyan, and Black, was checked and signed off by Neil M Hennessy at the Coach House with an enscription of his monogram in ink. The final Black proof is the only completely printed full sheet issued in a format suitable for hanging.

Included with the Master Proofs is the single issue Certificate of Authenticity, signed by Stan Bevington, Mike Brown, Anthony Glenesk, Neil M Hennessy, and Mike Horgan, and embossed with both the Prize Budget for Boys legal seal and the Coach House Press printer's chop.

The Master Proofs will be auctioned on eBay to harness the power of the market for PBFB art. The auction will open December 4, 2004. Join our mailing list to receive email updates and instructions on how to participate in PBFB eBay auctions.
