Only sell APs via private sale or galleries. You could be in for a major disappointment if you use an auction house. Agree with Bob on this one. If in no hurry, a private sale will almost always net you more unless you really have no desire to put in the effort to get it out there. Also with low editions and APs it best to have as many pictures and details, front and back, as possible. I'd de-frame it and take those which will take any guess work out of the condition for interested parties and also get you top dollar if in great condition. Great rat!

I touched a bit before on being against using the red cross for countless reasons, but I'd like everyone to take 5 minutes to see this report on how the over $10 billion was spent in Haiti for their earthquake relief. Even more horrible is this standard and not the exception to how these corrupt organizations work. Vice was brave enough to investigate Haiti but the same can be found with every major disaster where "aid" is allocated. The last time I personally looked into this the Red Cross alone had been audited only twice in it's history and both times was found have billions unaccounted for with zero repercussions.
Please watch this short investigation and it hopefully will change how you / we look into where our $ goes.
If you have HBO and can watch the full episode please do as it goes into the jaw dropping miss appropriation of funds there including million dollar soccer fields, lavish homes communities for "non profit" only workers while sourrounding cities of Haitians don;t even have running water, bathrooms or electricity and an amazing $400 billion industrial city which was far away and unaffected by the quake and owned by an Asian company praying off Haiti for their cheap labor to make cloths. Best part is this facility was planned to go up before the quake and their connections got it built by this "aid" money. Can only imagine the kickback on that deal.

Happy to donate a "LA Love" hand finished print from the late Ben Naz Has the method and charity been selected for these? I'm fully capable of having auction items on our site as well. The only item I strongly suggest is we pick a worthy charity and stay away from the Red Cross. Want to keep things positive here so no need to go into my reasoning for not going with the Red Cross. Maybe in another thread

I think there is a bit more to his work though than that? Seems like thousand of people like his work so not sure why that is ? He's coming your way soon lol This type of editing is so common place here and is mostly associated with cheap tourist shop souvenirs in Hollywood and Venice Beach, which have been selling similar images for as long as I can remember. But as I said, to each their own. Literally hundreds of them on line like this site : twentytwowords.com/if-clean-cut-and-a-few-not-so-clean-cut-celebrities-were-covered-in-tattoos-15-pics/

Anyone with better than average Photoshop skills can bang these out all day long. I just can't fathom buying inkjet prints of someone playing around with image editing. But hey... hang what you like. Did this one in 15 minutes.

oh wow you got ATR & The Summoning originals blackappleart! 2 lovely pieces there, both look more subtle than their print counterparts to me Thanks t3c really love them as well. Ran out of room for the Summoning and open to a sale if anyone is interested. She's a big piece and the detail is stunning.

Always a positive thing unless you are a wound up cunt like that issue Geddes had a while back with one of his releases and had to pull it. Here's two I have.
Interesting point – more info? (If you can discuss?) It was actually his Hypostasis release. Details can be seen here on his blog. jeremygeddesart.blogspot.com/MAY 11 On the Hypostasis print release A couple of days ago we announced that Hypostasis would be released as a timed release, but we've changed our minds. After much discussion we feel releasing Hypostasis as a print would be a betrayal to those who have the original Red Cosmonaut print. Hypostasis was a commissioned piece intended as a reimagining of the themes of Red Cosmonaut. As such it has a very similar feel and quality to the Red Cosmonaut. Our prints provide an archive of the progression of my painting, cataloguing where I've been and where I am going. Hypostasis was an enjoyable painting to create, and a fun place to revisit, but its release as a print doesn’t fall within our mantra for what should be released. We're sorry to be changing our minds, and I apologise to those who were looking forward to this release. At the end of the day we are driven by what feels ethical, and this is a decision we feel we needed to make. thanks, Jem

While many are referring to this as the "dark side" ...seems much more like the lighter side of things to me. Nice to see an alternative and many familiars as well.
