Crazy Jakes first print RELEASE!!!, by Michael Jacob on Oct 26, 2007 20:54:40 GMT 1,

Welcome to my first official print release! Many of you have been following my progress and today it actually happens. Thanks to everyone who showed support during my learning curve.

Title: Do you think…
Medium: Silkscreen. 4 color with artist embellishment (red cross)
Paper size: Approximately 19x26 inches
Image size: 17 by 24 inches
Paper stock: RIVES Heavyweight Printmaking Paper 175g
Edition size: 50 signed, 10AP signed, 10AT signed
Cost: 50 Pounds maximum (SEE BELOW)

RULES OF COMBAT:
I mentioned my rules a few weeks ago. Here are the official “crazy rules.”

1. Prints will be offered at banksy.info. Silky has done a great job hosting this forum. Thanks Silky. Im in the process of building a website. Any leftover prints will be offered there at a later date.

2. HOW TO BUY: First come first served. PM me that you want a print, and I will fill orders based on when they are received. I will PM you back (within 24 hours) with a total cost. You will then have 24 hours to make payment via Paypal. If you don’t pay in 24 hours, your order will be canceled. ONLY ONE PRINT PER PERSON PER DAY.

2. COST: I will be selling an edition of 50. The first print is 1 Pound and goes up by one Pound per print. If you get the tenth print, its 10 Pounds… the twentieth print is 20 Pounds and so on. Needless to say, the last print is 50 Pounds. I do this to show appreciation to those who support me quickly. Thanks in advance!!!

3. PROVENANCE: All prints sold will be accompanied by a $1 bill (USA). The serial number will be your provenance. The edition number and corresponding serial number will be posted on the website at a later date. You can also contact me directly before the site is up and running with any questions.

4. SHIPPING: Shipping to the UK is 8 Pounds. Shipping to the USA is 5 Pounds. Insurance is optional.

5. REPEAT BUYERS: If you are a repeat buyer, you will have the opportunity to purchase a specific edition number for 50 Pounds. If the first print you purchased was #1, you could buy that number each time for 50 pounds as future prints were released. This only applies to the first day a print is released. After that, you can request a number and I will try my best to accommodate. If no request is made, you will get the lowest number available. This is going to be tough to implement, please bear with me if its bumpy at first. In theory, you could be the first person to request a print, but will end up getting a higher print number because a previous buyer would have paid extra to secure a specific number. If you skip buying a print, you will lose your priority in buying in the future. I hope this makes at least a little sense, now my brain hurts.

6. SELLING PRINTS. Im all for selling prints. I would take it as a compliment to see my work sold in the after market. If you sell my print on ebay, you can have half off your next print you buy. The good news is you get your next print half off, the bad news is you no longer have my other print.

7. IN THE FUTURE: My pledge to you is to start off by making ten different prints. I hope to do one a month. If I'm moderately successful at it, I will continue doing it. If I'm hugely successful, maybe a gallery will pick me up and Ill make a zillion dollars.

I plan on keeping edition numbers low. This one will be 50. I promise not to exceed edition sizes of 100 (not including AP or AT) for the next two prints.

8. WHAT IS AT? I mention 10 AT prints. I'm calling those “Artist Trade” prints. I love to barter. If you have something you’ve done, maybe we could trade?

Since this is my first time doing this, I might need to adjust a few things if they aren't working out. Once again, thanks for your interest!
