Tomb Raider Pop-Up Stores in NYC and SF

Still no news about the artwork ??

[MortalMonday]

Nothing yet. They were supposed to make an announcement yesterday, but they never did. Hopefully they have something to say today.

Update.

I cannot currently provide more than vague answers, but the Tomb Raider Pop-Up shops didn't end up happening, and we didn't end up selling the prints online last Friday.

What I CAN tell you is that we'll be selling all of the gorgeous Tomb Raider prints online on 3/20, and we'll be featuring prints & artists every day - starting now!

Thank you so much for your patience & understanding through all of these changes!

I can't help but wonder what could have happened to have the shops be cancelled so close to their openings.

The stores had already received all of the merchandise, and also decorations, consisting of at very least the life-sized Lara statues (which I imagine are not cheap to ship). So essentially they had already paid for a great deal of the upfront costs for opening the shops, and didn't get to open to re-coup any of it.

I don't know whether or not we should speculate, or just let it be, but I imagine something drastic had to have happened for the plug to be pulled in such a costly way. I don't know much about it, but maybe it has to do with licensing or something?

Looking at these: http://browse.deviantart.com/contest...aider/?order=9

Does anyone have a guess which one will end up being sold or just a personal favorite?

This certainly isn't halfbad but that can be said for quite a few of the entries.

That one posted above is certainly one of the best, if not the best.
