Ok folks, I need to sell some prints of the Scrambler artwork I had done by George Trosley of CARtoons fame that features Krass and Bernie.

I tried to put this up on an online source but it was shut down before it ever got going. We're going to keep this real simple and do one size as a print on really nice quality, heavy paper that will ship out to you in a tube. This isn't going to be a cheap poster, think more like a framable piece (that you could also just tack up on the wall).

If I wait until I get all the pricing figured, it won't ever happen, so post up here if you're interested in prepaying (I'm not chasing people down for money after the fact) and getting your own. That will motivate me to make this finally happen. I'll get sizing and pricing next week (headed to Bantam tomorrow).

Here's the art:

I hope I'm not insulting the artwork, but have you considered t-shirts?

I'd pre-order several of those!

Yes, shirts are a massive PITA with sizing and pricing. Again, I had shirts set up on the online solution before it was shut down. Online shirt dealios tend to end up with super-expensive shirts too because you're buying one and two at a time. Print quality isn't great either.

Not to Userp Eric or what his vision is on shirts, but I have thought of trying to do an order/preorder of shirts after making our Sand Blast shirts last year. As he noted, it is a massive undertaking as to not lose $$ or be stuck with a ton of inventory and money tied up into it that may or may not sell. Also making sure you have a good design, quality print shop, a good screen and shirt.

Still hasn't been enough motivation on my end to even bring up the topic with Eric.

:wave:
 
Interested if not prohibitive expensive.
 
Thank you for bumping this and reminding me. My initial effort to get quotes on these went by the wayside, so I'll go back to the local joint I used once before and get some final pricing.

I'm going to include the cost of a tube mailer because that would seem to be the only way to get these to folks unharmed.

If you haven't already posted with interest, do it now and I'll get this rolling this week.
 
I want to know how you got Mr T himself to do you a solid!?! I was an avid Cartoons reader back in the day. Still have a couple dozen in storage somewhere. All well read and enjoyed!


 
It was not easy, it involved paying him a definitely non-trivial amount of money.

He does this for hire ;)

Which is why I need to sell posters, I ate a good chunk of money on the artwork :shrug:
 
I have the original still in its paper that I somehow won at the Sandblast raffle. Thank you Eric for the awesome effort on getting this art made :bow: I know first hand that the raffle did not cover your cost ,so this is a very good idea to support [emoji1303]
