What would I have to do to get one of those open spots?

For the time being, nothing yet. I have to wait until all the choices are made and the printing cost is finalized.


Now in regards to the printer and printing costs:

There are two choices for the printer.

1. We can use Eclipse Workshop. These guys are fine art screenprinters. They are part of Collectors Edition and are the ones who do all the Official Disney Fine Art releases and printing. They also print the majority of SHAG's (Josh Agle) work -- whose works usually exceed 20+ colors. Probably the best screenprinters out there and this would be treated like more of a fineart piece. It'd look better than the usual screenprints that you're used to buying for sure -- with fancy inks and paper. The printing cost per print would be roughly $20~$25 per print. The prints these guys do usually sell in $100+ range retail because their rate is definitely more expensive than D&L, Burlesque, or the other print houses the poster companies like Mondo, Acme, etc. usually use.

2. We can use a different printer who doesn't have the curriculum vitae of Eclipse Workshop, but still plenty of experience and work. There is no Disney mark-up. The cost per print would be lower at around $10~$15, I believe. We can definitely use the fancy inks and paper as well, which would lead the price more towards $15.

Go for quality over price. I would go with Eclipse. That's just my opinion though.

 

[Mockingbird]

Go for quality over price. That's just my opinion though.

I want to also add, that it's a rare instance for us to be able to get job done by eclipse workshop without any sort of retail mark up. As usually you'd be buying from a retailer or direct from the artist, who would then inflate the cost. In this instance, there's no mark-up from me on the prints -- so we'd be paying the exact cost to produce this artwork + paypal fees. So to get an 18"x24" screenprinted poster for $45~$50 with art by Ash Thorp and printing done by Eclipse Workshop is really pretty awesome, imo.

 

[jordisok]

Sounds like we're getting a great deal *hasnoideaaboutprinting* I'm happy to pay a little extra at the mo.

 

[IronRinn]

Seconded. $45.00-$55.00 for one of these is a good deal.

 

[CorporateClown]

I'm ok with paying a little extra too.

 

[iamalegionnaire]

Put me down as another vote for quality over price.

 

[LaneDS]

Quality over price as well. I'm also in support of Mockingbird making money off of these prints considering what I assume is a lot of effort to make a pretty awesome opportunity for all of us happen.

 

[Sushigod7]

Quality for sure

I think you have your answer from the responses so far. So for variant & reg plus the shipping charge I'm estimating $90?

 

[keiichi]

+1 for the quality printing vs lower price.

 

[fallengorn]

+1 for better quality

+1 for Eclipse. Worth the extra ten bucks to me just to check it out.

I also agree this is an opportunity we should jump on. YOLO!!!!! =P

 

[BreakyBoy]

You guys are going to bankrupt me.

Spoiler

I want the quality option too

 

[gosufailure]

+1 high quality mgs!

 

[()_listerfeend_()]

Not trying to just blatantly brag, but honestly I wouldn't have thought I would ever truly like something Budich made, but this thing is seriously impressive:

Giant versions:

 

[jstevenson]

Budich has gotten good. I'd say I legitimately like a fair portion of his prints these days. his CMYK screens are neato too.

The next major step is for him to get good at more limited screens and really show off his drawing. He's got a ways to go, but he's come a long way even since I've been in the hobby, so it should be fun to watch and see.

ps. the only bummer on that print is the title treatment. Glad he went to the classic logo for Temple

 

[Sushigod7]

His Star Wars and these Indy prints are killer great pick up. He has found his style it seems like. Wish I could have got in on this I missed his lottery as well for the AP's. I've actually talked to him about doing a 5th Element print anyone interested?

Agreed. Hoping with Temple on the left and Last Crusade on the right it'll be...somewhat cohesive.

 

[lupinko]

+1 for quality here.

 

[BaronLundi]

+1 for the Eclipse if we can get it before 4:50PM on December 31, 2028.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

+1 Quality.

 

[Slacky]

+1 for better quality

 

[lupinko]

Time to see if I can nab RJB's Kill Boobs this morning!

Probably not based on mondoluck. =/

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

So how much will this MGS end up costing us altogether when all is said and done? I forget how much we've already paid.

won't need a 5th Element print thanks to the one Eng did

 

[kaskade]

I'm in for the quality too. I'd rather pay the extra couple buck and have a really nice print job.

 

[Sushigod7]

edit: I see now

 

[Mockingbird]

So how much will this MGS end up costing us altogether when all is said and done? I forget how much we've already paid.

Almost everyone paid $20 thus far.

Let's go worst case scenario and do and do an overestimate of $30 for printing costs.

Thus making the poster $50 total ($30 + $20).

Shipping I assume $15 or free if local pick up.

So the total you would end up paying is $65. You guys can also lower the rest of the price ($45) by 2.9% + 30 cents by paying via PayPal gift but that would mean no buyer protection on your end, so you'd be trusting me and jstevenson to ship it out to you.

up now on mondo.
Listings now gone.

Kill Bill is up now

 

[CorporateClown]

+1 Kill Bill

Fun looking poster

 

[Sushigod7]

+1 on the KB not at all interested in the other two secret drops.

 

[Blingaling]

I got a Kill Bill too. With a print run over 500 I was seriously shocked at how quickly they sold out.

Already broke my resolution not to buy Mondo this year.... ugh.

No way man, you're just gonna take my money and buy yourself some new kicks, Iknowhowthisworks.

In all seriousness though, $65.00 would still be a good price.

 

[Sigma722]

lol. Good effort though!

 

[lupinko]

Dammit, I just missed the RJB Kill Bill!

Well I knew I was going to miss it. =/

Run of 520 with no variant, so not too surprising.

 

[rikichi]

fuck man, the site fucking crashed right before checkout

I can PB for you, I got one but I think I can do without it.

RJB is huge in Europe

Really? I remember seeing his stuff in Juxtapoz many years ago when my pretentiousness was in full swing. Always thought it was kind of cool but never anything I'd put on the wall until now.

 

[Sushigod7]

This is rather tame compared to some of his other work I will probably hang this at some point.

 

[Blingaling]

Yeah, that's what kept it off the walls. (I should say instead kept me from ever purchasing.) Particularly the ErostyPop stuff. His JP gig posters are awesome, but kind of hard to come by.

[suplex]

If anyone got a Kill Bill they're having 2nd thoughts about let me know.

 

[Mockingbird]

I'll be heading over to Eclipse Workshop on 1/16 to have them look at the file and get an exact printing quote.

Once that's all decided I'll begin collecting payments for MGS and Majo. So soon.

Paprika is in limbo.

 

[lupinko]

Oooo, I'm definitely interested! Thanks.
