Mario Bros prints.

[smaeda]

I'm testing the waters for a set of 3 Super Mario Bros prints. Each is printed at 7.75x7.75 in to fit a standard 8x8 pre-cut mat. The water mark at the bottom will not be on the actual print. Signed and dated. I only have 3 sets for sale at this point to see how much interest I can generate. Might print more if there is enough interest. $35 shipped within the US.

Ive been following these on your facebook page, they are really great!!! I would love to make some of these in kid sized shirts for my sons, they LOVE Mario Bros and got really excited when I showed these to them on the internet. Maybe make Bowser in a hooked up Miata next? :teehee:

[jux]

Very cool!!

[George]

looks great!

[Caoboy]

Any of these left?

[smaeda]

Yep! Got 2 sets left. Hit me up!

[bedheadben]

I'm in for a set of these! Always down to support a great artist!

[smaeda]

Thanks man! I still have the 2 sets left. The person printing these for me moved away so I lost my connection with a large format inkjet printer. After these two sell I probably won't be able to make any new prints for a while till I find someone else that can do them for me. PM me for paypal info!

[roadster tOny]

where do you get your frames at?

[smaeda]

Michaels or Hobby Lobby has them pretty cheap. Anything with a pre-cut mat of 8x8 will work. If you cut the mats your self, it has to be exactly 7.5x7.5 since the art is printed at 7.75x7.75.

[bedheadben]

Money sent!

[smaeda]

Thank you sir! One set left now.

[Caoboy]

I will send you paypal tonight!

[bedheadben]

Thank you sir! One set left now.
No thank you!

Woo! I love seeing stuff like this sell fast to good people!

[smaeda]

Last set sold. Thanks guys!

[Caoboy]

Excited for wall art to decorate my cube!

[tsingson]

Lucky man! I would've loved to have this in my cube also.

[bedheadben]

My prints arrived today! They look great, I can't wait to get frames!

[smaeda]

Sweet. I'm glad it got there safely!

[Caoboy]

Got mine yesterday! Now I need to find some frames as well.

[smaeda]

Sweet!

[atlnb]

Are you planning to make any more?

[Caoboy]

Trade you the prints for your xidas.

[atlnb]

you wouldn't like them

[bedheadben]

LOL! I'll post pics of mine in the frames when I get them tomorrow.

[smaeda]

Are you planning to make any more?

I'm hoping to but I still need to find a new person that can print them for me. The person who did my last set moved away, and there is no way I'm having a generic shop do a laser print of these. The only piece I have left is a single print of the Yoshi Coupe.

[atlnb]

i understand. well, i would love to have something a little different/custom whenever you find a new person to print.

I have my old Canon iP6700D that I could boot up for you haha. It's 400dpi.

[Caoboy]

Ben, what size frames did you end up getting?

[smaeda]

Do you guys have a Michael's? This is what I used for mine.

They always have sales on their frames and you can usually get them for 11 bucks or so each.

[atlnb]

we have Michael's in GA

[bedheadben]

Ben, what size frames did you end up getting?

I got 8" frames with a 4" matte at Michael's and threw the matte's out. $10 each, I'll post pics soon, I've been busy.

All framed and hung. Let me know when there are more!

[smaeda]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[Tkblazer]

Aww crap too late as usual

[smaeda]

Prints back in stock! Found a better method so now $30 shipped within the US. Let me know if anyone is interested!

[Opgedronken]

Those are pretty sweet, but how about the legal side of things?
I can imagine using those images is at least some form of copyright infringement.

[smaeda]

That is a grey area, and pretty complicated since there is so much fan art out there. I've been following Jed Henry's Ukiyo-e Heroes project and he says it's legally permissible if the form is approached from an original angle, and makes a comment on the original work's nature.

As a fellow artist who has sold work, I see no infringement in these. Most are flattered by fan art, it's good publicity for them too.
