This is a passion project for me, and hopefully there are others that share enough interest to get onboard. I'm putting together a potential commission for the movie/musical Xanadu. As this is my first commission, I am getting guidance on the process from another who has done many past commissions. That said, artist hasn't been decided - I have some ideas, but nothing set in stone. Looking to see how many people would be interested (hoping to get at least 50). Posting interest here isn't a commitment, but just a feeler to see if enough interest exists. Thanks for looking

I have about 5 so far from Facebook groups.

Actually, yeah, I am interested in this, as this would be an absolutely perfect gift print for a friend of mine.

That said, given this movie's cult status, don't be too surprised if it takes a while to really fill the group (or maybe consider lowering the number).

I would never hang a Xanadu piece but I'm interested to see what tall come up with.

The movie is bananas.
