I hate you.

I give in to peer pressure too easily it seems! XD

I now hold you responsible for my empty wallet.

Just a thought Ryan, but that "Progression" image that you posted before, if you could include a smaller print (A4/A3 size) with the signed lithos for these, that would be nice too.

Pull some strings for forumers?

I'm glad I listened to you now as it's sold out again.

Cheers for the push.

I forgive you, but don't do it again.

Fuck 18x24, make 24x36 the new standard.

lol good job Madigan. You bullied Cosmic in the right direction

Who says bullying doesn't build character?

Yeah, I was gutted when it went OoS the first time.

Then was more gutted when I saw the size! XD Might have to get this one framed and hang it up.

There's a nice space above my TV that it will look ace in.

Just not sure how much it's going to cost to get it framed due to the imperial sizing...

Just convince your local framing shop that the US is invading the UK soon and if they don't convert to the imperial system they will be sent to labor camps.

Always works for me

lol I can't imagine that you would have that problem anyway living in the Land of the Imperial System!

I've found a local framing shop online. Will take a trip down there sometime and see what prices we're looking at. Can't have it being stuck in a tube. That's just sad.

Framing is expensive. I think I paid something like $350 to have my oversize The Team litho framed. I went to get an estimate on my Tali giclee the other day, and it turns out that it would end up being about $550 to have her framed up nicely; and that's using acrylic , not glass! Granted, that's using Masterpiece-brand acrylic from Michael's (which is a more expensive type of acrylic that provides max clarity), but still, that's a ton! The guy said that if I used glass, it would probably be $1,000 or more.

Looks like it's going to be staying in the tube then as I just don't have that kind of coin to spare on getting something framed...

Oh, you're doing it wrong. Find a small local shop and they'll do a much better job than Michael's for a lot less money. I've done some really nice 18 x 24 custom jobs with wide mats and museum glass for $250 to $450.

24 x 36 will be steeper, but at least in the States you can get nice pre-made frames for $60 with glass (or even less with a sale). I have a ton of my art in Aaron Brothers frames, or there's Dick Blick in other parts of the country....
