Supposedly Tomer said that The Killing was picked up for an official release, at least that's what I was told when I tried to join the commission group. Unfortunately those ass holes who have had 2001, The Shining and now Dr. Strangelove also have him lined up to do Eyes Wide Shut and Full Metal Jacket. Really disappointed by EWS being in their group, but this still leaves Lolita and Barry Lyndon open.

I wouldn't mind seeing a print for Napoleon. That'd be pretty interesting.
My advice is to be careful with the bolded. I too collect Lego (a lot of crossover there, huh) and the print market is considerably more fickle than the Lego market. You can easily get stuck with prints you'll never be able to unload. That said, if you haven't already, head over to Expresso Beans and set up an account.

I just buy stuff I like and want on my wall ¬_¬
Madness.
Madness? This is Fancy-Poster-GAF!
(New thread title?)
I have to say I'm of a similar opinion - I buy things that I a) have a genuine interest in, and b) would look good on a wall (if I had any left). I understand why people buy to store or flip or hold onto as an investment, but I'd prefer to display it. The number of co-workers who love my Aled Lewis Greater Good is astonishing.
Well, in fairness to ruxtpin, he seems interested less in profit and investment than in giving himself some bartering power when trying to get stuff that he does want up on a wall but wasn't able to get on the drop. It can just be tough to go that route and can easily backfire, is all I'm saying.
Dan McCarthy has both prints he did for his retrospective at the Massachusetts College of Art. $25.00 apiece:
"10 Years of Prints - poster 1" - 4 color screen print - 18" x 24" - signed and numbered.
"10 Years of Prints - poster 2" - 3 color screen print - 12" x 24" - signed and numbered.

Dan does some of the best glow in the dark prints I've seen. His wall at the Bottlneck Glow Show was kind of amazing.
Yeah I always try to follow this rule, but sometimes you get something in and you change your mind, and when you already own 20 other things you also like and want on your wall, it gets hard. You also get caught up in the whole "buy it now or it's gone forever" rule. If you don't buy something you're not 100% sure on and then change your mind, it could be 2 or 3x more expensive than it was when it dropped. It's a stupid, dangerous game, because like others have said, you could get it, change your mind and then have a $100 print no one wants.
True True. I set up an EB account. I'll spend more time doing research, but my mindset is I won't buy something unless I want it hanging out my wall. We'll see how that goes, but if I to spend an extra $50 to get a print that I wasn't able to get on initial release I wouldn't mind doing so (i.e. the new Boneface one for Mad Max).
Getting a little nervous about the Jurassic Park show.. lots of stuff I have absolutely zero interest in. As a massive, massive fan of Jurassic Park, this is a bit depressing. At least I'll get the pint glasses from the Drafthouse.

Yeah putting "Jurassic Park" on a lot of these is kinda pointless. This might as well have been the dinosaur show.

My buying habits have been all over the place. I still can't say for sure that I've settled into a groove, and I know for a fact that I still fall victim to the hype trap.
Seems that we're in a boom period now, i feel like I've seen this all before with the trading card and comics markets (not to mention beanie babies LOL). Variants, printing gimmicks, it's nothing new. If you feel like you want to make a long term investment, I would be very wary of buying pop culture prints. The current heavy hitters will likely still hold their value if not continue to appreciate, but that ship has sailed. There won't be another Moss or Stout Star Wars set. Print runs have soared, even the best new prints will never reach a level of scarcity that leads to the kind of demand that really drives prices up.
I ran out of wall space a ways back, so if I buy something to hang I know it will need to displace something else. But then again I also bought a 10 drawer flat file, so I know I can store everything indefinitely.
So what do I buy these days? All the Horkey. I just love the dude's work. All the fat birds. Random crap that catches my eye. Prints that fit in my 18x24 itoya portfolios so I can see them without having to dig through a pile in a flat file drawer. Sometimes I buy prints I don't like from artists that I do like just to help support them and their work.

Hellboy statue pre-orders sold out? Was not expecting that.
They didn't even indicate that the red version was limited.

Oh wait, they're back up again and available.
Statue is cool, but not something I'd get.

Not a bad price for a polystone statue that size... just not my favorite depiction of HB. Still regretting the animated version statue I am now stuck with.

I feel you on that. The only one I jumped on was the First Turtle, and that's just because I genuinely loved it and thought the pricepoint was solid.
E: Got my Whalen Box Trolls Variant! The packaging was absurd, and I was honestly sweating while removing it, fearing I'd crush the print:

It's really excellent in person, but man, this print is just asking to be damaged.
Is it full on corrugated cardboard? Because, yeah, I would think you're going to have to be careful with that.

Yeah, it is, and it's pretty thin. I feel like if I don't get it into a nice frame soon, it's going to get beat to shit.
Gotta say, I really ended up liking a lot of pieces from Whalen's solo show. I think this is the show that finally brought me around to his style.

Thanks for the pics! Funny thing is even the regs from that show are on really thin, flimsy paper.
Whalen keeps getting better and better.

Alice X. Zhang's Moments 2 opens tomorrow, Friday June 12th at Bottleneck, which means a preview sale today, Thursday June 11th at 1pm ET. Anything left over from the show will go on sale on Saturday, June 13th at 12pm ET. Some prints will have full-on 24" x 36", small edition variants (regular editions are 13" x 19" I think) for $85.00, it looks like. Prepare thyselves.

EDIT Dammit.
That Mad Max is lovely, expect a massacre. I'm already angling for the Scott C Mad Max on the last page, otherwise I'd be making plans.

Didn't someone else here get a Delort 'The End of the Road' wood variant too? 5x5 clayboards are dropping! Here's mine!
Hogwarts Castle.

Yeeeeeah, Mad Max is going to be tough. I think it's one of the 24" x 36" ones.
Few more from the show:

Forgot to post this:
There will be random copies sent out hand embellished by the artists as well.
Up now, use PP not a credit card.
Awesome! Post a pic or two when you can. I'm going to order some supplies from them to finally frame up our MGS Ash Thorp print.
It's about as basic as you can get frame-wise, but everything was shipped in sturdy packaging, the print fit perfectly, and there were easy to follow instructions for framing it (I guess in some cases you have to actually glue pieces together, but all I had to do was screw a few things into the (soft) wood). Still need to wire up the back, but I expect that'll be easy. For the modest price (two 22x18 inch frames for $110 shipped) I'm happy with the experience.

That's just the art print edition, though. I can't imagine that one reaching the actual mondo print's prices.
