To any and all of my favorite people who look at my blog:
This is the idea I mentioned yesterday and I’m testing the waters with this question:
what would the response be if I offered hand titled, numbered, and signed prints of certain pieces of my work?
I recently had some prints made and I marveled at the loveliness of the print quality, timeliness of the getting printed, and the cost effectiveness of it all.
I thought to myself, “This is maverlous, this is fantastic.” Then I forgot about it for a day.
But as I mowed the yard on Saturday it all came back to me: Prints.

I’ve got several pages of notes and plans writtnen out and a starting set of pieces lined up but here is where I need your help:
Just a simple response of interest or not interest would help me decide my next course of action.
Prints would be $20 + $1 for shipping supplies. (The dollar wouldn’t cover everything but it would help off set the packaging supplies.)
Digital woodcuts (if you’ve been around my blog for a while you probably know what I mean) would be $10 + $2 for shipping (they’re usually a little bigger and require printing on 11 x 17 paper and that means more expense in shipping supplies.)
This is all in a state of working out, but this is how I have things planned at this point.
I’ve got an initial starting series of 10-15 pieces lined up with more becoming available. So give me some feedback!
Thank you all!
[edit: I have a number in my head of responses I'm looking for before I decide if this is truly a worthwhile venture for everyone involved; namely, you and me.]
just leave me a yea or nay comment:

I'd be interested, for sure. I shoot by about every day for a bit of visual inspiration (I'm an art director).
Consider this a "yea" (Where did you get them printed - I've had the same thought with my stuff. http://www.twofishillustration.com)
Thanks...
I'll take a digital woodcut! So yes, do it!
Yea here too - I just discovered your blog recently and admire what I'm seeing so far. Depending on what you print, I can definitly see myself buying a print of yours.
I have been visiting your blog for a few months and really admire your illustrations. So, I would also be interested in getting a print.
"yea"
Sure.
hey, thank you to everyone.
I'm in Cory... Great idea to allow us to share in your fine work and vision.
Hey Jake, I got the prints made at the print shop of a college near here.
I would LOVE to buy some of your work!
Good idea. The world will be a better place with more of your art out there inspiring the masses.
Gwen brought up a fantastic point: if you're local, then there's no need to charge for shipping and whatnot.
thankee muchly
Sounds like a grand idea. Still wondering when Portland Studios will be offering the posters again... I was about to buy one of Justin's when I found that the store was closed.
Yes, oui, ja. Very much so. I'd love to have some pieces of your work.
What's the printing method? I might be interested in something high-quality... like those prints Justin did for TJ.
I think I might also be interested in original sketches. :-)
Jeff, I don't know what justin did for TJ, but these prints are a glossy finish on a heavier paper. It's not like a watercolor paper thickness-- it's a heavier poster type thickness.
