Thanks to all who have purchased a regular or variant Jurassic Park lithographic print from Vice Press!
Since going on sale, the regular orange edition of 175 sold out in 50 days, and the variant blue edition of 150 has now officially sold out after 212 days. It was a slow burn, but I'm thrilled folks have eventually been finding it, and I couldn't be more pleased that my first ever officially licensed print release has achieved an organic sell out over time.
I have AP copies to release, and will do so soon. be sure to sign up for my email list for all release news.
I have 27 AP copies of the orange, and 22 AP copies of the variant.
I will be handling AP order fulfillment and shipping myself so I am only going to be offering my prints to US addresses only. Apologies to international folks.
(If you don't know what APs, or artist proofs, are: they are copies of the print that I receive as part of my compensation from the gallery. They are an additional source of income for print artists. They are typically signed by the artist and numbered out of their own edition. They are otherwise the exact same print the gallery sells.)
Regarding pricing of my APs:
The orange regular will cost $130 plus tax.
The blue variant will cost $100 plus tax.
I have allocated 5 combo sets of the regular and variant, and those will be available for $215 plus tax and will ship together in the same tube. I will offer more sets if there is demand for it.
My AP prices account for the $5 shipping tube cost and $15-20 postage costs.
That leaves around $75 - $105 in profit per print going directly to me.
Selling my AP copies at a premium will help me account for the last few months without income as I was working on my next two licensed prints (for Lord of the Rings). AP copies are a valuable way for me to make up for profiting only a few dollars per print from copies sold through the gallery. So if you think my AP prices are high compared to the gallery's regular run prices, you're right.
I always encourage people to purchase through the gallery first, as I will likely always sell my AP copies considerably higher, especially if they sell out at the gallery first. It's the only way I can justify continuing to do this kind of time consuming print work. As always, I am extremely grateful to anyone who buys a print. You all enable me to make my dreams come true. -C
