william wilson
I sent the giclée print off to William Wilson today. I hope it will arrive before William is off to Stockholm. William turns thousands of animals inside out. I am so happy they are fake ones. Don't know if I would have sold my artwork to him otherwise. I am thrilled though that he made me do what I have been wanting to do for the longest time, some serious art printing of my work. And I am serious about doing more. I can give you an idea of the costs involved. This print was a 20 x 26 inch one. Which translates to 50.8 x 66 centimeters. Printing costs were 157.39 CAN $. I would double that for you, hence 314.78 CAN $. Mailing it to Holland costs 55.42 CAN $. Makes 370.20 CAN $. And today that would mean 232.33 €. A rather complicated figure, so let's just say a 50 x 65 cm. print costs 250 €. And approximately 300 US $, considering cheaper shipping.
Woah, that print is huge. What kind of file did you had to provide to the printhouse?
Just beeing curious.
I uploaded a .zip file to their FTP. In the .zip file just my huge psd. I do the same when I deliver to the newspaper, only then I use my FTP. Never any problems.
Posted by: eliane at January 22, 2005 06:20 PMAfter I woke up this morning, I made myself some coffee, and sat with my new friends created by Eliane. Now I finally know what people mean by 'this artwork speaks to me', because I've had some great conversations with my new friends who are only slightly more disordered than I am. Thank you Elaine, for all your work, thank you for your friendliness and help. Most of all: thank you for giving me a new morning-ritual, one can never have enough of those...
