Just an FY for those not on social media.

KE is selling his remaining 2014 prints on his site. Prices are a bit steep in my opinion....but i know some of them had a printing of only 50.....and I also was not aware that half of those existed. Tempted on the "Icons" one to also get signed by PL....but a little too steep for me (I am also trying to cut back)

Hope this helps some people fill in holes :lol:

Yikes. They're allllll too steep. I bet he doesn't set the prices himself, though.

I know at FCBD the Icons one was $50 (run of 50....although no proof of this)....and I believe the other B&W shown were $20ish

His wife is his manager and handles most things like this for him. He definitely has a hand in the pricing. They are pricy for posters but it comes from how limited they are.

[Mayhem]

Yeah, prices are definitely up. The "movie tribute" and the ones based off the First Publishing graphic novel covers were all $50 iirc when being sold at shows and events this year, and are now $100 and $75 respectively.

All his prices are steep. But some people will pay them so that's how they stay. At FCBD, his lady friend that was running around gave me some flack for saying out loud how damned expensive everything was... "This is Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Turtles!"... Lol

[Redrumh2o]

lol yeah....but at the same time I respect milking the cow while its full....Its not like artists have pensions and health insurance....although I have a feeling KE and PL will be set for life.

[mrmaczaps]

Oh I know... But I think they would have sold twice as much stuff at half the price easy. I know there were a few prints I'd have loved to have, just couldn't afford one at the old prices... I'm already supporting the Turtles via multiple copies of all the monthly comics...

To me, the prices aren't that bad. I bought prints from other comic artists for $40-50. If you want to complain about prices, I've seen some fan artists sell their prints for more than $100. I find that ridiculous and unethical.

What are the quality of these prints? High end giclée? Inkjet? Glossy laser copies from Kinko's? There's one I REALLY want and wouldn't mind paying if the quality was good.

I REALLY wish he would do full-size prints of the original art, warts and all. Someone on the board that used to work at Heavy Metal mentioned they did a short run of full-sized prints, but I couldn't ever find any info.
