    That is sooooo ****in cool. Honestly you need to digitize these and have someone start cutting them with a waterjet. You could pump out a couple hundread in various sizes for very very reasonable production costs.

    btw dare I ask what you would charge for one of the hand made versions? Would make an awesome x-mas gift for my possible future father in law. :D


    Oh I almost forgot, those are falkin amazing.

    An amazing job as always :D I usually have some comments to make about your pieces but this time... just cant find anything wrong! Your skill of capturing movement in a still picture (metal piece) is just unrivaled!! Love them all, great work!

    Thanks for the compliments, guys! These are a LOT of fun to do.
    Grant will probably see this thread on Monday when he gets back to work, then he'll chime in.

    Prices? My site (for both Grant and I) have the wholesale price of $275 on it. That just covers our materials, shipping canvases from Canada to me so I can assemble the two, and a modest per hour wage for the two of us.

    I have looked at waterjet cutting, but I'd need quite a few orders before it would make sense. Neither Grant nor I have the extra cash to pull it off without any money up front for now. If we had an interested distributor, or someone with marketing ability, that would help. My guess is, the money saved by mass production would get tacked back on by the distributor anyway.

    Thanks, guys.
    The compliments do us good, and spur us on to do more adventurous things!

    Hey, does anyone want to get themselves a really cool Christmas present? #1 is still up for grabs... The person who wanted it just decided he needs to move to California first, so it's available again.
