Mine arrived today, tube and contents in perfect condition! Some tense and exciting moments while I removed the print from the tube The print itself is extremely nice - wow I love it! Thanks to the guys who worked to make this happen. You really delivered something special. Thanks to EO to a great painting. And the new monster is classic EO. Awesome!

Sincerely,
Steve Bruton

Four more out tomorrow.....Simon, Gamesguy, Sleepy, and Paul Reiche.  And Improvstone yours will go out asap, the last one I did, and the rubber tube stop broke!  So I have to go buy another one before I get yours out.

But, as soon as I get these to the PO tomorrow, we'll be unofficially finished (unofficially, because I still have two to mail for individuals not at home right now and waiting for new addresses to mail). In a couple weeks we'll check in to make sure everyone has their print.

Just a couple feet from the finish line......!

Perfect time to start talking about the next commisioned artwork. I vote for Easley.

Tom Wham would be da bomb; I second your suggestion with much aplomb.  

Mine arrived yesterday, in perfect condition. It really is stunning how great it looks up close. Thanks to all who had a hand in getting this print produced!

Lets give the committee some down time.  Mike just finished sending the prints out.  Also may need some new volunteers to relieve the first batch of committee members.  A great deal of work went into this project.  Most of which goes unseen by those who merely ponied up the money.

Watch out...on the next project, there'll be a special tacked-on fee per print that goes into a vacation pay "slush fund" for the committee at the conclusion of the commission work.

And I suppose I'd best volunteer now for the Committee to help co-ordinate the European orders....  

With the US dollar the way it is, I would suggest covering yourself by quoting fees in pound sterling

The EOC team has been discussing when to start a 2nd commission project, since mid-June.  We definitely plan to take a break, but are discussing things.

Being a freedom of speech kind of community, anyone can say just about anything they want about this project in any way shape or form.  What is said might influence us and it might not.  However, what Allan said is correct, and the committee plans to hold off on opening official discussions and possibilities for a couple of months.  Rest assured that the committee does want input from the community; we're just not in a position right now to deal with it.  Frankly, we haven't finished this project yet.  We want to give it our full and enthusiastic attention.
