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.
The four cards are collected into a handsome royal blue Avery binder affixed with an embossed PBFB gold legal seal. The postcards are presented in Avery's high quality acid-free heavyweight polypropylene sleeves that meet the exacting archival standards of any serious Deltiologist. Each postcard has been enscribed in ink with its title by Neil M Hennessy, then numbered and signed with his monogram.
Included in the binder is the numbered 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 total edition consists of 600 sets of cards. An unnumbered, unsigned edition of 300 sets of cards were distributed by the Prize Budget for Boys as mail art ephemera to travel through the mail system and advertise the game. 300 sets of signed and numbered cards are presented in specially designed Postcard Portfolios.
