Hey everyone.... I am having my sale on Wednesday at 8 AM Pacific... will be sending out an email tonight, but am still unable to get my facebook page to allow me in, so there most likely will be no post there

I do have a question for you all though..... I wanted to wait for my sale and see what artists were charging because I have been uncertain what is a fair price to charge for these.

I see the conversation happening in this thread talking about what artists should charge, and am curious to know what you all think is a fair price.

I have 200 of each, of Nashville and Phoenix.... normally, as most of you are aware, I charge between $60-65...then I watch other artists charge $100... so for the bigger shows, the baseball stadium shows, I figure I can up my prices a little.... but it's a conflict... I want to keep things in the somewhat affordable range, and don't want to price gouge, but then I don't want to leave money on the table either...especially given I have been out of work like many others for the past 5 months and most likely for the rest of the year at least.... so I want to make sure I do right by you all but also take care of myself due to the uncertainty of my profession as a poster artist during a time of no concerts

so I figure I would just ask you all...... I was thinking $85.....what are your thoughts?

$85 is good for the consumer in that it keeps the total cost with shipping around $100. With your print run, it also puts you inline with the total sales figure that Ames made in their sale today. But you're also an OG PJ artist, highly renowned & appreciated by PJ fans, and accessible to us. These things have value in the full customer experience, so you might still be leaving money on the table. You wouldn't be gouging anyone at $100.

the shipping cost seems to go up every year as well.... for tubes anyway... always somewhat amazed at how much shipping a tube domestically is costing now....around $14-17.... that is how much is usually costs to ship to canada, so I am at the mercy of what the USPS determines for pricing on that

Are there any variants or are they just signed and numbered? Thanks Brad.

no variants... I think only Ames get variants... which makes sense...

Why would Ames get the only variants??

they used to get to do the entire tour.... so I think it is a token of appreciation to them and how they are the godfathers of this whole little niche...they no longer get to do posters for an entire tour... it was their gig for years.... so I just assume that is why they get to do variants...which, again, makes sense to me....gotta give respect to the OGs who created this little PJ poster world

The NYC Williams Artist one is Blue, but the SE one in the promo video was yellow.

Those are probably the only artists who get variants...maybe Brad as well.

Brad is literally the one who said "no variants" in the quotes above. LOL

I was just assuming that.... cause normally we don't get to do variants.... unless it is special like the 18 baseball stadium shows.... normally, we don't get offered variants (but I think ames is allowed to do some, again as a grandfather clause type of scenario thing, I think...no one has ever told me this, it's just my own deductive reasoning, given ames and I get 200, I figure they do that again with allowing ames to have variants)..... for say EV tours, the artists copies are a variant color from the show copies, but the artist only get their colorway, not both. But maybe for this tour they printed a few variants to mix into the show copies, golden ticket type of thing, only so many randomly mixed in to the stack of regulars.... that does happen from time to time....

@Santos L. Halper What's the difference between Event posters and Tour Posters?

Zero difference. Accounting only. Members can get 1 of ea sku.

Hey @bradklausen I still think you should try to do some NHL goalie helmets. Maybe once Seattle gets a team that'll kick start it?

@bradklausen
BK I don't have an answer on what to charge but I just have to say I love all the details and messages you are conveying in these 2 posters. The military helmets hanging on the rifles (one for each great war?) is not lost on me. Thanks for all you do to put such effort into your imagery, messages and amazing art. We are beyond fortunate

JojoRice · August 2020

Thanks for the drops!

no, I am but a mere oompa loompa..... or a golden ticket winner myself.... cause every tour that rolls around when you get the email asking if you want to do a poster, it feels like getting a golden ticket each time given how many artists can now be considered for only so many spots

the poster artists don't determine how many we get, or variants.... we get told what we get (and say thank you).... for other bands, sometimes you can buy your own variants, I know some bands are fine with that, if the artist wants to pay to print their own variants.... I am not the best to talk about this though... other poster artists are more savvy with their business and better negotiators... I usually am just stoked to get the opportunity and then excited/panicked about coming up with a concept, that I don't think much about maybe I could have negotiated for variants.... plus I never really like variants... I get they make an artist more money, but I never liked just randomly changing one color...to me if you are gonna do a variant, the whole color scheme should change.... or the paper at least.... too often I see variants being made not cause it's an interesting color way but just to make a variant.... on rainbow foil, or sparkle foil, or purple paper, or red paper etc..... a lot of the time when merch companies ask for a foil variant, it's tough, because designs don't always look great on foil, but the merch company wants a foil variant.... so if you are a good designer, you try and factor in how the foil will effect the design and if it will work on foil....

Why does the poster sale change from no variant to "tour" variant after the page has already been up? I bought the St Louis print and then when I went back to look at the website, the page was gone...and then a little bit later it was back but then there was a variant drop-down with only "tour" available?

10C alottment and the venue alottment.

Both will be for sale here.

Same poster, just different stacks for accounting purposes.

Each person can buy one poster from each alottment.
