print update: bluetrain almost sold out
[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!!!!!!!!

A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
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.
bravo!
I wouldn’t pay shit for this.
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
Darn, i went on vacation and missed it all… I’ll have to cherish my Streetcard (which has this toon) all the more. What a rush!
I was totally inspired by my trek through your blog – i needed that!
