Even if they are priced too high for me to afford. I am sure they will sell out and I will enjoy seeing the pictures!

The $250+ estimate seems immensely fair given the time, material and sheer quality involved. (and if there’s profit to be made, I’d really like to see Windstone Editions be the first to have it.)
But it also lands it square in the ‘weekend road trip, quality materials for a big project, major wardrobe upgrade, or lovely little power tool’ caliber of luxury items. And it takes a really magnificent piece of cast gypsum to be a contender in that category. Would a GB young be worth it? Heck yeah, but despite the quality and the fairness of the high price, and the good fortune of being capable of somehow weaseling it into my budget, I’m torn on whether or not I should make that splurge.
Been thinking, could a production painter do the base coat and eye sockets? Even if it didn’t alter the price, it might free Melody’s time up a little bit, and she’d still be doing all the official visible paint, so it would still be her piece.
Also, for possible GB babies, could a production painter do a whole batch of something like say… brightly colored appies, or brightly colored Quaggas in various hues? (I’m hoping it wouldn’t hurt the price of the signed pieces much, as they’d remain signed, and could be considered an inspiration for later runs) It might free up Melody’s time, people would know the pattern, if not the color, and they might go for a more modest price.
May 3, 2013 at 11:24 pm #896876This is Windstone reality internet, isn’t it? Everybody is a safe distance apart, so go ahead and argue your hearts out. It’s as informing and valuable as it is entertaining to us.
Yes, we plan, at some point, to have other staff artists take over some of the grab bag painting, so there should still be regular sales into the future. It is just too unique a business model to give up.
You have now started to argue the price up to $350??? Do I hear $500? This is great, please don’t stop!

May 4, 2013 at 8:04 pm #896904As I understand it these are still being cast and haven’t even begun to be painted, so we are all being given equal opportunity to save up, no matter how much they will end up costing.
Yeah , we just started casting them. It will be a while.
