In conjunction with the release of Ernest Hood’s unheard archival album Back to the Woodlands, and in cooperation with the late artist’s estate, we are offering an expanded portfolio of printed ephemera from the workbench of the beloved Oregonian musician and documentarian. Sourced by Freedom To Spend’s very own Jed Bindeman on an expedition to the Hood’s famed farm property in Newberg, Oregon, these are various prints produced by Ernest, all featuring his original artwork.
Distributed by Ernest with his mail order service to fellow homebound Oregonians, and used as promotional fodder around the Portland community hub that was KBOO Radio, these are materials with a rich history and direct connection to / reflection of Ernest. Suitable for framing, filing, or flipping through when feeling nostalgic for a bygone era. An opportunity to own an incredible collection of Oregon, and Ernest Hood, history.
The eleven prints are stored in a sturdy kraft board portfolio with resealable flaps, hand stamped on the front, and hand numbered on the back in an edition of 67. Portfolios will be shipped media mail, and packaged between 13" x 16" corrugated sheets for assured safety.
Limited edition of 50 available only from Freedom To Spend. Does not include LP (only portfolio + digital download of the album)

a music garden; a garden that i can take anywhere, place it on my ears and enjoy its calming ambience. for nature-deprived folks (like me), it's awesome. wolftetsudo
Moody dark ambient from Dahlia’s Tear, the expansive sounds on “Through the Nightfall Grandeur” are as melancholy as they are unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 16, 2018
Omni Gardens' music is an invitation to a gentle organic world where the soft melodies are warm and dappled like sunlight hitting water. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 27, 2023
