We are waiting on the printer to give us a firm price on the print job.  I anticipate the payment request message will go out any day now.

Unfortunately it is never going to get displayed, unless my situation dramatically changes, which is unlikely in the foreseeable future. That being said if (and I reckon it's a big if) there is no one in the reserve list who wants it I will of course go through with it and pay up. I'd just rather it go to a good home than gather dust in storage.

So far we have had two drop out (including yourself) and one no show (SleepyCO), but with seven on the waiting list, I think it's likely you'll be able to bow out gracefully.  Thanks for letting us know.  

I have good news and bad news.  The good news is that the printer has Jeff's art, and it's in good shape.  The bad news is that the art is not the dimensions we requested at 17x24 and is actually 19x24.  The committee has decided to not crop the art nor shrink the art but print the art at its original size and in its full glory.  Really the only bad part about this development is that the cost will be slightly higher at slightly over $100.00 (not including shipping) and the art will now no longer fit a standard frame.  While the committee was explicit in its communication with the artist, the committee has chosen to see this larger art as a bonus.  It's Jeff Easley!

The money request will be coming any day or hour now.  Stay tuned!  

The time has come for the Acaeum Limited Edition Art Committee (ALEAC) to collect payment!

Everyone on the list needs to now pay for your print.  I am requesting you Paypal your money to me at my e-mail address which is: (deleted 8-13).  All payments need to be made by Paypal in USD.  Make sure your PayPal payment notice (the "message" section when you fill out the form) includes your Acaeum username as it may not be otherwise obvious. No cash, checks or money orders.  Please send in your payment by Saturday, April 6th at the latest.  The sooner, the better.

Mike/NTRPGCON  Pick-Up:
Print cost per member = $101.50 USD
Protective Tube: $2.00 USD
Total: $103.50 USD

Shipping includes a sturdy tube, $100.00 insurance, Priority postage and a Paypal fee compensation.  Domestic shipping also includes Delivery Confirmation.  Priority Mail gives your print a better chance to arrive undamaged. There will be no combined shipments.  All shipping will be done by Badmike.  If you are attending NTRPGCON, picking up your print is preferable for everyone involved.  This is because of USPS and not Badmike's shipping expertise.

The print cost includes a payment to the printer, payment to the artist, a payment to a professional shipper who will ship the prints to Badmike, funds to create a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist, and a Paypal compensation fee.  We also added a $4.00 per person fee to cover unexpected expenses or problems.  All left-over funds will go to the Acaeum.  A complete budget breakdown will be revealed later.

Furthermore, insurance covers your cost and our butts and is required.  It does not cover replacing your print.  We are doing all we can to deliver what you want, but there are no guarantees in life or with this print.  At least you shouldn't lose much money.

Your Limited Edition print and Certificate of Authenticity should arrive in about six to eight weeks if everything goes as expected.  We'll keep you updated on our progress.

ALEAC consists of grodog, PaulKM, Badmike and benjoshua.   We will not reveal the name of the printing company until after all prints are completed.  We request no private messages.  Any questions or concerns should be addressed on this thread.

This is an exciting day!

I don't see any bad news here ... The large the better as far as I am concerned.  Seriously, cropping the art in any way would have been bad news ....

paid, and thank you very much!
