6 July 2015 | Updated order confirmation method to google form Updated amount to paypal from $36.35 to $36.92; Paypal fees are more than expected and I like round numbers. Sorry guys! And if you've already paid the old amount, don't worry about it. |

I'll take #8. And ha, good thing that's not the right number :cool:
Reminder that as of now I've got 12/20 purchases and we've got until 19th which is end of this week. If we don't get to 20 pcs I'll cancel the group buy and refund everyone as it won't be viable for me money-wise to go ahead with this. Thanks!
Wah. I REALLY want to this but it is hard right now to spend any money
Let me try to figure something out :-*

abswyfe/absyrd: I've got one for you guys already no worries. (thanks CPTBadAss!)
Halv: I don't participate in /r/mechanicalkeyboards so would come across as spammy if my first post is about selling something?
Likewise deskthority, I have less than 30 posts there.
For deskthority do you think it would work if I post there and get one of you guys to vouch for me by posting in it? Or is that too spammy?
Ugh. What the ****. I was told to log in and tell CPT "NO", as well. Now he owns me. He'll call in a favor and I'm stuck doing his evil bidding.
I posted it on Reddit as well, hopefully that brings a buyer or two. Honestly at this price I'm really surprised these aren't all gone.
I don't think we'll meet MOQ :'(
I'm pretty sad I don't have any money for this. I was really digging the artwork in the IC thread. :(

Still can't fathom the lack of interest. I feel so happy to have one of these coming to me...
This is a really neat idea. The only thing preventing me from ordering is I'm not sure how to frame it.
Anyone know of an affordable framing solution for US buyers for this size?

I would recommend framing this with a framing mat (http://bit.ly/1IhIWIq) as the printed artwork is quite close to the edge of the print. This frame is pretty close to the size of the actual print http://www.ikea.com/sg/en/catalog/products/60232747/#/80232746

I'm totally sorry but I know nothing about framing pictures. If we were to go with a framing mat, wouldn't we need a frame thats the print + the width of the framing mat?
From the specs: The print will be 28cm wide x 32cm tall
and the frame itself is 30cm x 40 cm
Is 2 cm enough for the framing mat?
I'm a terrible geekhacker and forgot about this awesome buy. Filled out the form though, so don't worry! ;D
I have one dumb question and one regular question.
Dumb: You ask use to paypal you. I just want to confirm that you want us to send you money, rather than wait to receive an invoice.
Regular: Will you be shipping these rolled in a poster tube?
The prints look awesome. :thumb: Are you good on MOQ or do you still need more buyers?
Got your payment and your address. :thumb: Any preference on edition number? Otherwise you'll get #15.
Wow I totally forgot about this until I just saw it pop up in Spy. I was almost questioning if I even got in and paid yet, then I started reading from the beginning. Man my memory is terrible...
I could have overlooked so I'll just be a pest and ask: Is there an estimated shipping date or are you still just taking orders?

I'm still taking orders for the prints not sold currently, but will be printing all 50 pieces in the coming week in one run. I will be keeping the unsold pieces as inventory for now.
I hope to start shipping out the week of 10 August (9th is public holiday in Singapore if I remember correctly). Give a buffer of about a week as I do have a demanding day job so we're looking at latest shipped by date 16th August.
This lines up roughly with the initial estimate of 7 weeks from start of group buy :)
Excited is the word!!!

Curious, how many did you end up selling?
Follow up question;
Is it still possible to purchase screens?

Off the top of my head i think I got 16 purchases total
I'm assuming you're asking whether it's possible to purchase prints (instead of screens), yes, I printed all 50 pieces so the ones unsold are in inventory. See OP to see which prints have sold :) (They are signed and numbered individually)

!!!
one more thing, if your print is too curled up upon arrival, lay it flat and let it rest for a day or two.
If you're framing or mounting this, the curling wouldn't be too much of an issue but I think it's a good idea to have it rest and flatten itself out before doing anything with it.
If it's still curly after a day or so, take a cotton t-shirt, put it on top of the print and iron it out gently on low heat. (Just remember, don't steam iron it! The ink is water soluble...)
Looking forward to pictures from you guys in 1-2 weeks... !!!
Just have patience. Don't bother ironing. :p

I sent these via normal air mail so there is no tracking number unfortunately. However as stated a couple of posts up, these should take 6-9 working days to arrive and if you don't see anything in two weeks, please get in touch and I'll sort you out.
My experience with sending stuff to the U.S. Europe and even Indonesia via Singapore post regular air mail has been consistently good so far. (Touch wood)
Woops! I totally remember you mentioning that. :-[ I got a little excited to add the tracking to my tracking app and forgot. :)

I wonder if it works with Singpost http://www.singpost.com/ (the tracking window is on the sidebar of that page... ) For future reference!

Luckily, because hydrospell has been kind enough to include three copies of his artwork in my package, only the one printed on paper was affected. The two printed on canvas are both undamaged. Thanks again to the Royal Mail for being useless.
Hey I believe that's #14 right there...

;D I will say that the lack of a dominating color (other than I guess red, technically, due to the "MX") in the print made selecting a matte quite difficult. So I went with something a little more "out there". Hopefully it turns out alright. :P
And of course, thanks again for all your work on this! It really is a beautiful print. And I had a fun time explaining what MX switches are to the framers. :))
Edit: Apparently it's spelled mat. TIL :)

Frame shops are always very expensive compared to buying a stock frame from IKEA or a similar store, so be prepared for that if you decide to look into it. I've only had one other item framed, and I'm kind of reserving it for the more special prints I have.
But I'd definitely recommend at least stopping by a frame shop! In my experience they are super helpful and will work with you to design something that looks good. I haven't quite developed the best eye for this stuff yet, so matching colors and frames is rather daunting. :P
Of course, all that said, a stock frame is still great! In the end you may not feel that the added cost of a custom frame is worth it.
Oh and there will definitely be pictures! ;D
Got mine today! USPS tried to kill it but it survived. :D

You can always float mount it rather than using a mat.
Glad people are getting them already even though the tubes are taking a beating.

Absyrd, by the way, would you know if I can contribute 5 prints to the raffles going on for D? I don't have enough time to organise something but I'd be happy to contribute some prizes. If this sounds like something that might work, PM or email me and we can go from there :)
I can do international direct so that includes US as well. Could you do the link up with badwrench or whatever's necessary to enter these five prints into the draw?
I don't have good pictures of the print yet so hoping someone who receive theirs can take a nice picture. I have shipped a copy to a photographer friend but they'll take time to capture a proper photo as they're doing me a favour with it.

This is so nice! GH is so great, and full of people who really come together to support positive and inspiring things. You all make me happy to be part of this place. :)Yes I agree! And part of why I feel that I want to chip in and help out is because absyrd has been ridiculously kind in giving constructive, generous comments to get this group buy off the ground and it's only later that I found out he has so much to deal with personally. So I feel it's only right that I help in whatever way I can.

These prints look amazing by the way. Really stocked to see some incoming pictures. I know exactly how you feel with the waiting hydrospell - I was the same way with my hoodie buy.
Alright, I ended up bringing the print home to think about it more. I may try talking to the guys at the place I went to last time (first tried a new place closer to where I live now that I moved), and see what they think for framing options. :confused:
Anyway, here's a pic at the frame shop with some mats and frames we were trying. I was leaning toward the purple mat, but the designers strongly disagreed. It's probably not a perfect design choice, but anything red, blue, brown, or green just looks lopsided, so purple was a good neutral "complementary" color IMO. I dunno, I'm not an artsy guy. :PShow Image(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/669/20772623690_2571297fbf_k.jpg)

I guess I can let the cat out the bag now. I got a special gift for Des from hydro a while ago and he snuck a damn test print in there. It has been on my wall temporarily until I find a frame using the "no-hole-tack" method (as pictured... learned this in printmaking class to display your stuff even when still a bit damp and so you don't ruin the art putting holes in it).
I love it over my monitor. But my HHKB wants to fight it.

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I'm thinking a brown frame since i have brown switches. :) pretty traditional.
I'm moving soon, so I am probably going to wait until all that is done before getting it framed. I'd love to see some creative uses of the print though...
Yeooo we are chillin out in Dublin at the hotel. Got CPT to show us around, but we will take recommendations srsly.You two deserve a vacation!
Funny story...I might be thirdwheeling with Binge in Columbus this weekend. Yay for fountain pens.
Might be? Son as much as airbnb makes me want to give up on this- ****aduck not my fault people gotta be bad.
If you're gonna be in Cbus, hit me up if you want any food recommendations!
Best tacos al pastor in Columbus-> Los Guachos on Godown Road :thumb:, it's seriously my favorite restaurant in Columbus. Get some tacos al pastor, or try the torta (also amazing), the nachos, or the burrito favorito.
If you're in the mood for some fast casual korean food try out Bibibop. There are a few locations, the closest one for you is probably going to be on West Henderson.
If you want to try a lot of different types of food you should checkout North Market downtown near the Arena District. People absolutely LOVE Hot Chicken Takeover-- it usually sells out at around 3 PM each day. Be warned though, "hot" is pretty hot and "holy" is so hot that I never wanted to try that again. Be sure to check out Taste of Belgium down there too! Great Belgian waffles!
Finally, El Arepazo is pretty great too. Great latin food, great atmosphere. Let me know if you need anything else!
Got mine framed and hung last night, really like it.

I would consider doing more prints but unlike these ones which are silk screened (in 4 colours no less), I would choose something much easier on myself like professional giclee printing or even 1 colour silkscreen...

I"m pretty new here and I'm not familiar with the rest of your work, so maybe you've done this already, but would you consider doing the same style print but with MX, Topre, BS, and Alps in each of the respective quadrants!?
