print update: signing

4 Comments

Today was “Print Sig­ning” Day. Spent most of the mor­ning sig­ning “Corinthians” and “We Need To Talk”. Rock on.
As you can see, “WNTT” is red & white. It was con­cei­ved as a pur­ple & blue print, but as I e-mailed to peo­ple who had pre-ordered one:

As you will remem­ber, it was envi­sio­ned as a mostly pur­ple print, with some blue and black.
It loo­ked good on the com­pu­ter screen [i.e. lit from behind]. The trou­ble is, it didn’t look so good as a prin­ted proof. It simply didn’t work. Somehow the pur­ple didn’t gel with the other colors. It all loo­ked kinda muddy.
So we mes­sed around, as you can see in the second photo above. We took out the pur­ple, just to see if that hel­ped.
Then we chan­ged the ori­gi­nal blue to fire-engine red, we also tried orange-yellow.
And the red.… simply put.… loo­ked SMOKING HOT! I’m wri­ting this down in Miami. The WNTT edi­tion [red] just arri­ved here in a woo­den crate, and it looks utterly fabu­lous. Trust me; the photo doesn’t do it jus­tice.

[The prints, 30 seconds after ope­ning the cra­tes…]
I know that the pur­ple image above was what you plan­ned on buying, and you may in fact have had your heart set on something pur­ple. I totally unders­tand that. Then again, Art is a work-in-progress. I didn’t know exactly HOW things were going to turn out until I was actually in the prin­ting stu­dio. C’est Le Gue­rre.
I’m sig­ning the prints tomo­rrow and ship­ping them out this week. If you’re not happy about the new red color, I unders­tand com­ple­tely, and I will gladly refund your money in full, or cre­dit you with a later print edi­tion. It’s totally your call.

The vast majo­rity of peo­ple were cool with this, a lot of them actually said they pre­fe­rred the new red ver­sion. One per­son did have her heart set on pur­ple, so we gave her a refund, fair enough. One other per­son agreed to take a “Corinthian” in its place. So it all tur­ned out rather well, all things con­si­de­red.
The prints are being ship­ped out tomo­rrow, so expect to see yours in the mail in the next few days. To be honest, I’m over the moon with how well these two edi­tions tur­ned out. These are very exci­ting times. Thanks, as always, for your love and sup­port. Rock on.

   Far pre­fer the red ver­sion of We Need to Talk, I would have con­si­de­red that one. Hated the purple
