It's similar to the artist, who's name escapes me at the moment, who does those Christmas scenes and it's like the 50's with snow and very beautiful village-townscapes and whatnot. It's like that. A print is done on paper. Then there's the poster quality art. it's a fine line with all of those as far as quality goes. I've seen posters that are better than the others... Depends on the printer really. Good luck with your project!

If others are interested in a print and it is done at the same time the cost would be reduced as she would get a quantity discount. You would have let her know though and I assume before she does my print.

If at least ten people buy in, what does that mean? Or at least twenty? I personally would guess that you'd be hard pressed to find much more than that interested from this community plus Dragonfoot combined, so just those two numbers would help(unless the price drops considerably). Also, does the price include shipping? If not, how much is that with everything?
grodog wrote:Like benjoshua, I may be interested, red wizard, but cost is definitely the deciding factor. If shipping is not included in your estimate yet, getting a sense of how much shipping + insurance may cost would be a big help too: can a giclee on canvas be rolled? The EO prints could be, safely, at least for shipping purposes (vs. long term storage), but if the giclee on canvas can't be rolled, that'll make shipping much more expensive and damage much more likely, I imagine.I'm also not sure how/why the price for the giclee would increase with more copies being printed??---you're able to spread the cost of the printing out across more prints so I would think it would lower rather than increase??It sounds like this may be the next Acaeum art project from outside the EOC team?
