Damn, very interesting

Why are people justifying the inability to print large runs???

It's pure laziness is what it is. It's today's generation. Never wanting to put 10 hour work days 6 days a week.
What's sad is people are okay with that. They let the printing company off the hook and act like its some miracle to print that much. I'll say it all day long.. There are hundreds of printers in this country dying for work. And I'd put money down most can do a better job than what they currently use. And wouldn't complain or say something couldn't be done. Who runs a business like that anyway?!? "It's to much work, I can't do it". At that point, just quit and do something else.

Jim Pollock linoleum block pressed 11,000 Coventry posters in just around 3 months time. End of July to end of September shipped. So saying a 10k run of screen prints can't be done is a joke.

I like the details, & I've been waiting for a Stout - Goonies print, but I wish he would have used his star wars, sleeping dogs, reservoir dogs type setup with the boxes on the top or bottom. I'm not sure what it is about the composition that bothers me.

It wasn't mentioned here but someone mentioned something in the Avengers thread that they felt like Stout drew up a bunch of vector art & just pushed it into the compilation. I kinda feel like he did the same thing here.

The biggest image in the print is the octopus, which if you are not a die hard Goonies fan you have no clue WTF that is doing there. Although I do like that he added it in.

I'm sure it will grow on me, & jpeg's don't ever do any print any justice. Just wish it wasn't going to be a Mondo drop, I hate em :hanging:

Ha- actually the octopus is one of my favorite parts about it, but I tend to prefer the absurd. Another highlight is smaller Feldman in front of larger Feldman being like, "hey, what's up". Ridiculous. Love it.

Whether you like it or not, open editions would be bad news for the hobby, imo. Mondo hasn't been successful by printing large editions. The screenprinting business is getting pretty saturated as it is- there's plenty of paper to be had out there, even if it's not a Stout or a Horkey. I mean, just look at GMA. I love almost everything they've put out, but their store has a ton of stock available. I honestly have no clue how sustainable the print business is (for a dealer) if you have that much stock available and continue to pump out more.

I honestly don't think Mondo (or screenprint sales in general) would be quite as popular as they are now without a healthy aftermarket (and the hype the comes with it). Without limited editions, there would be no aftermarket. It's already sort of heading in that direction (see again, GMA, HCG, BN, etc).

Also, licenses. It's the same old conversation :lol: I understand that new people pour into this hobby everyday but damn, it would be cool if people just did some reading instead of posting (see also, post-drop butthurt, bots, flippers, etc). Then again, I do enjoy reading most of that stuff, so... carry on. :pint:

Open editions are occasionally a good barometer. For example, Taylor's Fury Road showed the market could sustain 2,700 individual, informed demands for a popular license by a popular artist. And say, a quarter of those are in & out flippers (We'll get to their results later). Another quarter are portfolio hoarders or investors. They don't want to sell, yet. That leaves me, very generously, assuming that maybe almost half of us at least intend to hang it OR gift it. 1,300 framed and mounted sounds unlikely. The point is, that's not a mark against the art. It's just percentages. Like, how many LEGO R2-D2s are still waiting to be built?

You play below your demand. If you figure the people want 2700, then they'll realllly want 750. That creates a sustainable market, because 3/4 of the flippers, framers, and investors will miss this particular print. So, they'll have to try for the top quarter on the next one. Limited supply of each encourages collection of the whole. Selling collectibles is perhaps more psychological than financial, which of course fits the product.

Speaking of which: open editions have a habit of kicking flippers in the balls. This is a good thing, even for the flippers. Mondo says: Hey! You're creating a false demand! We thought these guys really liked that other Fudge, so we made ten more Fudges, and none of it sold! Stale Fudge! How many of you Fudgeheads are out there??
Flippers say: Dammit! Turns out 10,000 people aren't gonna pay me for this niche item, after all. It's so cool though, I'm gonna frame it. Now what do I do with the other 3? Next time, I'll just buy what I want maybe.
Collectors say: Dumbass I told you that already.

I know I'm not schooling any of you on the specifics of the art market. It's very interesting to me from a financial point of view, because a steady and limited market won't crash. Mondo will sell every copy of Goonies it has. They know this. So they know they will still be open tomorrow, and I know they will offer me something new very soon :)
