I would bet dollars to donuts that the AP's are already spoken for, even if he hasn't set a price yet.

I think it was on Facebook if I remember someone asking when The Dark Knight was being released through Mondo if there were going to be APs....like while the timed sale was happening. Anything for that Kurtz peen rub

That FB thread......MAGNIFICENT. Yeah- there's some insane hero worship for RK, but a lot of it seems aimed at getting preferential treatment. And I mean come on- someone who prices his APs like he does isn't gonna do that (not saying he shouldn't price that way, cause he keeps selling out).

I think he does some great work, he does some nice giveaways and presales, and he's engaged with his audience. People are funny, entitled, selfish, and dumb is all I'm saying.

And just like LD, the work will inevitably suffer.

I will say that someone in that FB thread did have a good point, the only seemingly-logical point in posting an in-progress shot of something that will be unavailable to the the masses is to drive hype. I don't even have a problem with it, get that AP coin - but don't deny it and say some weak fudge like [well there are a million Alien prints out there, so just go grab one of those, you can't have mine but its all the same, right?]

Its only going to get worse as the KurtzKult grows.

^This.

Someone should tell those FB guys that are complaining that their complaining provides entertainment for the commission group. The commission folks get off on that fudge.

hype is a choice.

you don't have to own a piece of art just because you like it.

I guess, if we want interpret hype in some kind of existential personal and spiritual light some incense and listen to Enya kind of way.

Exactly, I would have no money left or time in the day remaining if I hunted down and bought everything I liked. That Kurtz Alien will be something I simply appreciate from afar...depending upon the reveal of course. :o

Fer sure.

Best thing to do about these commission folks is to practice some self-discipline and ignore their hype/tease posts. Even if the print is a must-have for you...keep your cool for gawd sake - don't play their game.
