print update: bluetrain almost sold out

8 Comments

[Update: Video of me sig­ning the first artist’s proof.]

[“Blue­train”- the new gaping­void print. Click on image to enlarge etc.]

[Update: Blue­train is already sold out. Thanks, Everybody!]

The print is an edi­tion of eighty-five. So far seventy-five are accoun­ted for, inc­lu­ding the few I’m kee­ping for myself. Sales were pretty brisk right up until everything clo­sed down for Christ­mas. I’m still a bit stun­ned about how well this wee adven­ture has gone, frankly.
So now I have ten left for sale. Full details are here.

For the last ten, the price is $250 each, which far less than I think we’ll be selling the next edi­tion for. Hope that’s OK with y’all.
Again, THANK YOU ALL for sup­por­ting this ran­dom act of insa­nity on my part. Rock on.
[UPDATE:] By the time I had finished wri­ting this very short post, the num­ber left was down to eight prints. 15 minu­tes later, that num­ber was down to seven. Wow. [UPDATE:] One hour later– only five left. w00t. [UPDATE:] Fif­teen minu­tes later– only four left. Eek! [UPDATE:] Five minu­tes later– only three left. Ummm… [UPDATE:] Next Mor­ning– SOLD OUT!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

   Con­grats on your first shot at such an expe­ri­ment. This tur­ning out to be such a huge suc­cess seems a bit of an unders­ta­te­ment, doesn’t it? The impli­ca­tions of this expe­ri­ment are quite ins­pi­ring.
   Best,
   Justin

   Con­gra­tu­la­tions, Hugh. As easy as you make it look, peo­ple should know it is your hard work over many years, now paying off in spa­des. I think the best is yet to come.

   I want one. Sure no more ? Do you have a mai­ling list to be aler­ted about new pain­tings or just through twit­ter?
   thanks and con­grats from Paris. Love your work

   circa $20,000 in around a week Hugh. WOW! What on *earth* made you think that this ven­ture would be anything less than a total suc­cess?
   The only think I would have done dif­fe­rent is to make this one of a series to ensure repeat custom…but then again, I don’t think you’d need to worry about peo­ple wan­ting your art.
   mas­sive con­gra­tu­la­tions.
   Paul
