Each Creative Action Network poster is hand-printed and handled to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The sturdy matte paper and premium inks create a vibrant, museum-quality image that looks great both framed and unframed. Posters are printed in Los Angeles, CA on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper heavyweight stock, with a wide color gamut and Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. The framed poster arrives wrapped in a protective yet lightweight black frame and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector that won't break during shipping. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

Artist Statement

Where humans go, so do gardens. They are crucial for life, and will certainly be part of our long-term space explorations. For oxygen, for food, for healthy life off of Earth, space pioneers will bring all manner of living things with them. This mission badge seeks to embody the spirit and ambition of NASA's deployable Vegetable Production System (VEGGIE) currently working on the ISS. My work seeks to highlight this important detail, and reimagine what space exploration looks like. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/383.html#summary — Joe Wirtheim
