From Todd:

Hey there, hope everyone is doing well. It's been an extremely busy month and it only gets crazier from here on out with the summer and so many bands touring. Luckily, there's been no fantasy sports, no Mav's and no good tv to distract me. As most of you know I've been working closely with Ween for the past few months. The band sold 50 of each poster at the show, and I was told that all of them sold out before the band hit the stage. Check out www.toddslater.net for images and info on the new prints.

This Friday, at 2PM CST all five of my new Ween posters will go on sale. Here's how it's gonna work: the prints will be sold in sets. At this time singles will not be sold. The sets will break down as follows:

Set #1:
The posters for St. Paul and Iowa (band's likenesses) will be $75 for both prints.

Set #2:
The posters for Millvale, Tulsa and Fayetteville (pill cat, yellow sub and smoke dragon) will be $120 for all three prints which works out to $40 a print. A few notes on the history thus far: Fayetteville sold for $154 and Tulsa sold for $142 on ebay in the past month. I haven't seen Millvale, Iowa or St. Paul show up yet. Millvale is probably my favorite one of the five, and yes, those are glow in the dark inks on the pill cat.

Set #3:
The entire series (5 prints in all) $195.

I'm expecting these to go quickly. The emails have been coming in everyday for the past couple weeks asking about prices and sale dates, so please be on time if you want one. I've posted pics of the actual printed posters for you all to see in the links below:

Tulsa is an homage to the yellow submarine animations and is five colors with metallic gold.

The detail behind Gener is a macro of a nautilus shell...I don't want to give away every element of these prints so you'll have to see them in person. Both of these are five colors with two metallic inks on Gener's print.

Chasing the Dragon: this print is five colors with a metallic gold and two transparent whites. My printer, D&L, really knocked this one out of the park...a perfect print job.

Millvale is five colors on black paper and is printed with glow-in-the-dark inks.

Please let us know if you have any questions and we'll get right back to you. It's about 4:30 am now and I think I'm ready to stop typing...

Look for prints coming up for Jack Johnson, NIN, Radiohead, Electric Six and many others. Talk to ya soon.

-Todd.

that was the first sale of each and they can be had for much less and the ones for sale by todd aren't the show editions (x/50), they'le be more like x/200 or x/150.

just stating the facts so people know. i'll still be trying for the set of 3. 120 for the set of 3 is still a great deal.

Yeah, I know, but I'm 100% confident that if you were to buy the set of 5 you could sell it at a profit.

I'm not saying I am buying extras to sell, really, I'm just alluding to

A) Todd is selling the posters for cheap and
B) Todd is saying how much they have sold on ebay which will insert the idea of selling them on ebay to quite a few people.
