Mike, you beat me to it. :lol:  As Benjoshua and Mike wrote: it will be done, and we're making sure the quality will be worthy of the Acaeum.

All the best,

And, just to be clear, the artwork itself is now done.

GREAT NEWS!

Erol Otus has completed the artwork for the first Acaeum Limited Edition art print!

Image

The EO Committee is very excited about this development! This beautiful print will be digital/giclee (pronounced gee-clay) and archival quality. The print will measure 15 1/2 x 24 on paper that is 22 x 28.  Each signed and numbered print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.  Badmike is handling all shipping and handling so you know it will arrive well-packed but will be insured just in case anything happens.  This project does not personally profit any member of the Acaeum Committee.  We are paying for each of our prints at the same cost expected of everyone else.

The cost per print will be higher than anticipated at $80.00. This does not include shipping and handling costs.  The committee did all it could to produce the highest quality print at the best price, and we believe, for a print of this size and quality, it's quite a bargain.  However, in order to assure that the EO Committee is not stuck with left-over prints, it is necessary to do a check on who is still willing to put their money where their mouth is.  Therefore, the EO Committee is requesting that each person on BOTH the Suave Seventy List AND the Newest Waiting List state again their intent to buy a print.  Once we have at least seventy responses total from both lists, we'll start accepting money, make the down-payment to the printer, and get the presses rolling.  We are unsure as to when the prints would be done, shipped to you, etc…but it could easily be a couple of months.  Do NOT send any money now!  The cost could change depending on the number of responses and other factors.

The EO Committee 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.

Again, great news! If you are on either list, or even if you want to be on the list and are willing to pay, state your intent publicly on the thread as soon as possible.

I'm still in too.  8)

And thanks for all of the hard work, guys.  I can only imagine how much effort it has taken to get the project (nearly) done.  A drink for each of you is on me at NTRPG Con . . . even a nice glass of single malt (though bourbon might be more appropriate for Texas, I suppose).

AFAIK, I'm still at the bottom of the "Newest [?] Waiting List"....but YES, I'm still in!!!

P.S.---"Newest" waiting list?  Not a different waiting list, just the list's name?

Yes, it's actually called the "Even Newer Wait List," but that's just the list name.  I apologize for the error.   :oops:
