one quick question - do you have any notion of when your next print sale might be coming up? because i've been promised a print for my birthday, so i want to make sure i don't miss the next one.

Yay! My husband is going to kill me, I've already purchased two different prints in the past year. But this is too cool to pass up.

All of your artwork is awe-inspiring, especially to a growing artist like myself.

I'll consider myself inspired by your work from this day forward.

While I agree that these are beautiful, as an engineer I cannot believe that they are charging $45 each; especially since there will be 1200 made at once (1200 at $45 each makes $54k) The manufacturing cost and "labor" costs of the artist would be covered with the sale of just a handful. Basically, they are going to be making a killing off these, over $50K. Good for you in this horrible economy. Gouge for your high production "art"

engineer

Go to any store, you think any of those products costs that much to make? A $10 plastic toy in WalMart can costs $0.50 to make. Why complain to limited product artist pieces like these, is it only because an artist made it? Get off your high-horse.

these are beautiful!

I haven't purchased anything from the site yet- I was just wondering what the process is?

you just go on the AK site in the shop section and fill out a form?

thanks :))

Yeah we register to make an account on her website at the /sale page,
Then you show up there on that date at that time (Above)
Then you hope to get one!
She has a lot of fans so people usually pick them up quickly and things are sold out almost immediately whenever they do have a print sale.

Shipping cost

I hope international shipping isn't too expensive. Some US sites try to charge me US25 for a single small item (to New Zealand). That really adds to the purchase price!

Re: Shipping cost

The international shipping total (w/tracking) will be a flat rate for everyone, set at $14.45 :)
