I have yet to see a reasonably priced screen print for this, especially one without damage.
Yeah looking at the Jane Doe print it looks like they are running about $500 now. So this would actually be a good deal.

These look amazing. I've gotta sell some more stuff now because I couldn't resist +1'ing. Psyched they were available through the day. I can't believe an image this amazing is up for hours, but MBW's Celebration is gonna instantly sell out...

Bannon breaks it down:
I know they are pricey, but I kept them as affordable as I could.

Just to break it down a bit:
Postage/supplies for shipping each one works out to about $75 per piece in the USA. Sadly, Paypal takes over $20 or so dollars for each piece sold, and the government takes about 25% of the gross that comes in on top of that. All of that happens before I can factor in that each one took anywhere from 20-30 hours to create over a two year period. And supplies cost me a few thousand for the project over that time period. I hope that sheds some light on the expense of this sort of endeavor.

At the end of the day, it's better than a gallery taking 50%.

Thanks again for the support.

+1 :pint:

I've wanted a Jane Doe for quite some time. Every time they popped up they were either A) Damaged or B)Going for $4-500+ and I didn't have the money at the time. Turns out the tax return came at a choice time. $700 shipped for this hand finished piece that took up to 20-30 hours each is a STEAL.
