Ahh... Is it me, or is this etching somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000% larger than that last -similar- print, for a grand less? Beautiful image, though. Very tempting.

Ha! My thoughts exactly. I hate Pressure Printing's greedy ways even more now.
It's really too bad I'm not in love with the frame, cause the imagery is amazing! Or maybe its a blessing in disguise, as I cannot even remotely consider affording this at the moment.

Richard,
Speaking of a grand less. Someone has resorted to selling thier Madonna and Karl for LESS than the original price. I think he's dropping the price about $100 per hour!
Isnt that the other way around compared to all other Ryden editions? This should speak volumes to Mark.

Yeah, I get a real kick out of whoever that is trying to sell that on eBay. The first time they listed it (this being the third in three weeks) - They had a question:
Q: Will you take $7000 to end the auction early? May-27-08 A: Hi, thank you for the offer. Since there are already bids I can't accept. The buy-it-now price is a steal though... this sold out very quickly on the...more
Too bad they didn't take that offer for 7K! Unfortunately, I have a feeling they may have made that offer to their self. Pretty funny.
I don't understand why Mark would even consider putting out an edition of that masterpiece at the drawing stage when he could've done a framed giclee on canvas of the completed painting like the old days. I would have been first in line! I'm very disappointed

I thought the last time this was on eBay, the seller promised it to be 'the last time it'd be on eBay' - but, looks like the price is down to 4200+150... http://cgi.ebay.com/Mark-Ryden-Madonna-K....1QQcmdZViewItem - If it comes down another 2200, I'll have to think about it.
