Thanks Brian! Really appreciate your comment, and thank you for your support!

So I thought I'd give you a little sneak peak/teaser. This is the prototype box for the lettered edition. I wanted to show you the size of it. Those who ordered, start making some space! :-)

I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase Paul's work from the start.

Everything I've seen from him is exceptional. He has a real talent, and he's just getting started.

I can hardly contain myself waiting for his first original publication.

Simon Simon Simon.... You should have learned the first time you ran out of shelf space. ALWAYS leave room where you don't think it will be needed. Rookie mistake :evil:

That case is awesome Paul:) love it!

Thanks for the kind words (and emojis) everyone... And Simon, I was thinking about you when I posted those pictures! Darn, you're gonna have to go with plan B or something... ;-)

Just to add one more voice, LOVE the case

That's too funny. Who needs shelving if the case was that big. Just use it as a wall. Hey, stop giving me ideas.... Actually, hmmmm... I have something coming that will be almost as big as a wall. I gotta keep my mouth shut but you keep tempting me, and I'm really excited about it... More later... ;-)

For those who missed this on Facebook, I thought it might be of interest. Here are some pictures of the plate that was made for the limited edition photogravure print that is included in the lettered edition.

Spoiler:

A copper plate is made from the artwork and is inked so that the etched cells of varying depths in the plate are filled with the dense ink. The ink is then wiped from the surface and the plate is placed on the bed of an etching press. Dampened paper is laid on the plate, covered with printing felts, and passed between the rollers of the press under heavy pressure. The felts are then removed and the paper is lifted from the plate. The image in ink has then been transferred from the plate to the paper.

Photogravure is a true continuous-tone ink printing technique. The image is made of a layer of ink whose thickness varies continuously according to the depth of tone of the image. When viewed under magnification, a photogravure print is seen to be in three-dimensional relief, with a thicker layer of ink in the shadows and dark tones and thinner layers in the light tones and highlights.
