I just got out-voted internally about using pencil to number giclees because some other folks here were worried about people erasing their number and re-doing it themselves....

I know I know, drymount=badbadbad. I don't think any of the materials coming out of the Irrational store are even close to archival, I'm not worrying about the signature degrading before the whole piece does.
Of course having said that I did put the whole signed litho trio under museum glass at considerable expense

You guys would be the only ones worried about that. Anyone can fake anything with enough effort. Low numbers really don't have an effect on value, I would ask them all to reconsider. Better to stick with pencil, the way all the other professional printers do.

Pencil would be best indeed on the giclees. I noticed you all put stickers on the back of the giclees too. Can that damage the prints?

Include a COA with it?

Yes it does come with an irrational type COF. I just received mine today however and am amazed with the quality of the print. Its on some type of scroll paper which adds a nice unique feel to the whole thing. Great piece, happy purchase

Mine just arrived today! Received #07, and I am really happy with the overall quality and the unique texture!

Here's hoping that the quality of the Songbird plush can match up with this piece.

So this might not be new again but the Mind in Revolts are back in stock... they just plain lied about that one.

Out of curiosity, were the original Mind in Revolt books numbered?

They sold 15 signed copies which were signed. That's it though; no other copies were signed. They never said that it was a limited edition item, to the best of my knowledge. However, they did say that they were not anticipating more stock once the first batch sold out.

I think they're on batch 3 now.

Wouldn't it be better if the person that writes down the number signs beside it?
The number does not necessary need to be shown in front of the print. I actually would prefer if there is no number visible at all.
Ideally a sort of authenticity stamp in the back with the name and brand selling the print and the print number. Simples...
