I can't give away my secrets, but let's just say I have access to servers all across the world, with the fastest internet connections, using a browser (with custom settings) and operating system you have never heard of  ... But this was by far the most overloaded print sale I have ever tried to get. Usually it's not problem. This one took a bit more work. Some of my requests started a few minutes before the drop and didn't connect until a minute or two after the print. Some of my requests didn't connect at all, but I am a programmer so I have an unfair advantage when it comes to print drops! aaaaaaalright than, time to call my nerdy friends than...  I have to look into these things (I do know a tiny little bit about it, so I kind of have a clue what you're talking about).. Im sick of not getting even close when these big things drop.. |

looks like this is gonna be a hard drop for me...no wifi at work and have never attempted a purchase using my phone... That drop was insane... His site started going down 30 minutes prior to the release (usually it's 5-10 minutes prior)... But I snagged one for a fellow board member. I have yet to find a print drop that I can't get! I had over 5 browsers going on multiple internet connections, and the interesting thing is the paypal source code button was still up at 14 minutes after the drop. I wonder why it was out there so long (prob. due to the traffic jam with the site). I should seriously consider building a system that can handle the traffic for artists like this (kawasaki's is close to the best, but her site still can't handle the traffic). I could setup a cloud for the hour around the release to any high demand artist. I think it's strange no one has done it yet (prob. no money in it). I would prob. trade my services for artwork though... I do it for several artists |

I know it happens all the time, but damn it makes me angry when they are already up on EBay. Takes a little bit out of me every time. Vultures.

I made it through but JUST in the nick of time. I had several browsers open trying to refresh and nothing was happening. Then I got lucky by opening the link in a brand new window and it popped up with the purchase button. Very glad I decided to leave work early because there's no way I would have gotten one on our 1MB work connection.

I do it for several artists Well there you go, do you use a cloud service to provide scalable hosting (like amazon)? And you should get more of those paypal artists to use your system!!! I use a combination of environments as I have a proprietary arbitrage system for cloud resources. We spread workloads across amazon, azure, and rackspace. |

From jeremy's FB...
Cluster, both regular and large prints, have sold out, thanks to everyone who bought one.
We're sorry for those who missed out, we weren't expecting Cluster to have the same response as A Perfect Vacuum so we were surprised by the speed it sold out.
In future we'll be doing larger editions!
And...
I should also mention that along with the normal print runs, we will try to do a timed release (like Warmer Air) at least once a year, so there should always be opportunities to get a print.

When I read about these complicated set-ups I feel almost bad that I made it through with my regular internet connection, firefox, and just three clicks until the print was mine after 19 seconds. But I was prepared, I knew where the purchase button would appear, I guess I refreshed at the right moment and clicked as soon as I saw some black text in that corner. Or maybe fortune favours the fools |

From what I've heard from Sophie, Jeremy's going to try to do larger print editions and maybe a timed release (Warmer Air) every year or so.

I know it happens all the time, but damn it makes me angry when they are already up on eBay. Takes a little bit out of me every time. Vultures. Agreed, but right now, Cluster is at its peak, price-wise, at about an average of $650. I think the larger edition number and the lack of Cosmonauts will eventually help deflate the price of it when Jeremy's JLG show is over. |

Last on on ebay sold for $455 This wasn't the same Cluster that was recently released. The ebay auction was for a Cluster 'study' print. It was previously released and was not the final Cluster image. It was a smaller size as well, 13x13. The finished Cluster measures 20x20 and is representation of the completed Cluster piece. |

I think I like the direction he is headed. A little hard to tell from a jpeg, but looks like it will be stunning when completed and viewed in the flesh.

Is anyone here going to the Levine show in October? If so, please PM me. I'd like to have a poster buddy there if there's a print drop.
