Thanks for the feedback guys! Good suggestions. Most problematic at this stage is getting the IP rights cleared from Japanese companies. The US and EUR studios are a bit more easy to work with.
One of my personal favorites is Zelfa artist Katsuya Terada. He did his first western exhibition recently here: (

Technically, because the artwork is made digitally, the prints are regarded as the originals (as they are not reproductions of a painting or other). Just like contemporary art photography they are sold in 1 small edition. You also get a guarantee from us and Maciej (signed contract) that they will NEVER be reprinted outside of this edition unless one of the original 12 prints ever gets destroyed (in a fire or something). It that case we do a free replacement for the registered owner. All works comes with a lifelong guarantee that the quality will not diminish as well.
Maciej's work is brilliant and Metropolis is a great piece indeed. For the US 1.500 you get a ready-to-hang museum-grade Giclee print mounted on Dibond with a liquid gloss or Diasec coating. I'm always pretty open about stuff, so to give you an indication; just the production costs (materials, printing) for that piece alone are +/- US 600,-
In this clip (at 30 secs.) you can see the Metropolis piece with the liquid gloss finish on Dibond:

The site doesn't really do it justice (so I really appreciate your feedback!). Anyway, all work comes with a 30 day money back guarantee and I have never had a return
