Size is DIN A1, so that's about 59x84 cm (23x33 inch). Good from them putting the posters officially in the store, as they must have gotten a lot of requests. Mine are also already here  |

Thanks for that. Found these last couple interesting..
Q: What do you believe art does for the world?
Hmm, for the world? Nothing, it is merely a consumer of resources like most other human activity. For people, I guess at best it can contribute to a cultural conversation. It can, possibly alter people’s perceptions of the world around them, although, however much I like to think otherwise, I suspect only slightly and for a very limited time.
Q: What kind of legacy would you like to leave?
It’s not something I really think about too often. I’m not entirely convinced that our species has a long future ahead of it. Being remembered isn’t something that keeps me up at night. If I can touch or make some honest contact with a persons intellect or emotion through my paintings for even a short time then I’m happy enough.
Some brutally honest, if depressing, responses that I actually appreciate and find insightful to hear from an artist's perspective..even if the questions themselves were loaded.

ditto, walt. i also found this tidbit interesting: "I grew in up in Geelong, a small town outside Melbourne. It’s a flat industrial place. I grew up near a cement factory which would coat the surrounding houses in a dull grey pall, and which formed the bones of the painting ‘there is glory’."  'there is glory in our failure', oil on linen, 2007 it's always interesting to me how an artist's environment and background informs their work. personally, i've always found this to be one of his most haunting images. the print is also really stunning with incredibly rich, dark blacks contrasting against the gray sky. |

This print is a must. Going to look great next to "Redemption". I wonder what the size is going to be?

I really want to see one of Geddes originals in the flesh - the photos always make them look so detailed and stunning.

wonderful piece. did you grab it epic? I wish! Nope, not mine. Contacted Kirsten but it is already spoken for. I honestly didnt expect a new original to appear at this show and be for sale, so i was waaay too late in inquiring. That's OK though, my 2011 art budget is pretty much already committed. I'm on the list for the 2012 JLG show, however, and will be hoping to get a shot then. |

I too was hugely surprised to see his name pop up in the lineup at all..and am now even more surprised to see that it's a fully fleshed out painting, let alone a Cosmonaut piece. I reached out to Kirsten the moment I noticed this show on her site in mid Jan sometime, seemingly before the news of this amazing show had begun to circulate. Thought I might've had a chance had it been a first come first serve deal, but never heard back. I assumed all along it wasn't ever going to be made publicly available and probably would be reserved to one of her best clients, as should be the case to an extent. His output really is so low and slow, with demand mounting bigtime, it's gonna be crazy by next year and I'm really not holding out much hope at all. |

Needless to say I'm heartbroken. |

What month is his show in 2012? I'm definitely saving up for that one. I got on the list late 2010...I'm hoping I'm on there in time for something. I've never managed to buy anything from JLG. If I have the $$$ for something,the show is sold out and I'm nowhere on the list or there is something I want and the money isn't there  |
