    even if dobs is out, i am still going to send him my print. that wont hold me back from giving him what he should be receiving.

    dobs has sent out extra prints each year. he deserves it even if he isnt participating.. at least for me ..

    my print is going to be "special" and thats all i will say.

    Yes around what time is everyone shooting for? My Cooper Union hometests probably won't be done until the end of February, so I think I'll have to wait until then to ship everything like a madman.

    • Well actually I can get stuff before then, nvm. But it will be busy, and later is better.ismith
    • which home test are you doing? i had done their home test 9 times and never got in..e-pill
    • going to cooper union was always my dream..e-pill
    • I have one for school of art and one for architecture; it's my dream too, sorry you didn't get in :( I don't have high hopes reallyismith
    • really but I'm gonna give it my best. architecture has become my first choice.ismith
    • i had the architecture and the toy design one.e-pill
    • they haven't actually arrived yet so I don't know what's on them. I just hope I won't be too burned out to come up with some good ideas.bad
    • some cool ideas.bad
    • oh shit I mean...
      Get the fuck out my face with that shit! The motherfucker that said that shit never had to pick up itty-bitty pieces of skull on account of your dumb ass.
      bad
    • ...did you just out yourself?e-pill

    Well my apologies... I stayed up all night working and went to sleep at 8am, trying to catch two hours of sleep before going to the PO to drop off my QBNTPE, and ended up sleeping an hour too long. The PO closed so I'll have to get them out first thing Monday morning.

    • I knew they'd close a little early but I should've just waited a little to drop them off at 9...ismith
    • Anyway the larger thing was the original thing but ended up being a failed experiment... it's a sequence of frames...ismith
    • somehow i think it will work out okay (:bigtrickagain
    • but I included a smaller thing for all of you... and that is very very special to me as there will never be more made of them and they are from a very importantismith
    • they are from a very important time for me...ismith
    • hhahaha you stawner!!!e-pill
    • Yesss!!! we're getting a lock of your hair arent we????OSFA
    • hahahabigtrickagain
    • lol no

    Stupid fucking post office! I just drove there, and they only had pee shooter tubes, and magnum size. FFS! Then I drove to Staples, and they didn't even sell them. Finally, I asked our print buyer to score me some, and he is bringing them in on Thursday. So, i am delayed a couple more days I am afraid.

    • hey Drift.. i found the best places were to find the mom and pop fed-ex style spots..e-pill
    • the smaller shops have supplies for that.. and since you want all of it they sell box.e-pill
    • i ordered my mailers from amazon :Dbigtrickagain
    • to also get all the tubes in one store is like winning the lotto..e-pill
    • flat mailers or tubes?e-pill
    • Thanks e, I'm all good now, just needed to vent a little. My print buyer is on it now, so I'm good.DRIFTMONKEY
    • i got flats (my stock was way too thick to roll), but amazon had hella tube options toobigtrickagain
    • i wanted to ask you about those prints, so adorama makes it to think to roll?e-pill
    • im still debating ussing them or my regular printers i used for every ntpe i done..e-pill
  • version30

    you're good people, i however... i am not invited, *excitable though.
    can't wait to see what dobs and seff turn out. i did however buy records the other day... not for anything specific, just sayin' i bought some records... to paint... the other day :)

    • records are awesome!DRIFTMONKEY
    • i've already done them...version3
    • like a series years agoversion3
    • I have one!DrBombay
    • I have your digital skull/crossbones on cloth in my music room. I found myself pausing to admire it just days ago. It's a nice piece of work.blaw
    • ...ago. It's a nice piece of work.blaw
    • Awesome! I made a record clock with a RoboOwl on it for my boss this yearspendogg
    • :(
      my ex-wife kept half of my ntpe art. she has the skull too
      o_O
    • whaaaa?version3
  • bigtrickagain0

    bzsaw, could you post the location of every participant? i have an inkling that there is a strong USA cluster of people signed up... and if so, I wonder if it would be convenient of those outside the US have the option of sending all their USA-bound work to one person in-country, who then re-mails to everyone, thus saving a fat load of postage...?

    Maybe this idea complicates things too much.

    • sounds expensive for the re-mailer.version3
    • yeah... would be complicated. re-mailer would have to ask for reimbursement from orig. sender, etc.bigtrickagain
    • in every ntpe there is people from around the world. not just america.e-pill
    • i just calculated postage to poland (where dibec is) - it's $25 for a 15" long tube.bigtrickagain
    • if the costs are the same for poland > usa and there are 10 americans on the list...bigtrickagain
    • well. maybe this can be worked out privately laterbigtrickagain
    • maybe you need a weekend job flippin burgers or a paper route.. better not be a slacker!e-pill
    • haha. i was gonna volunteer to be the remailer actuallybigtrickagain
  • OSFA0

    I decided to experiment a little and try some new mediums this time and I had a lot of fun creating this year's piece! (Hope you guys liked them) What you might not know is that I created 4 different versions and each one of you got a different one ;)

    So... here are some photos showing the process behind these 'prints'... I was working on a short video, but that might take a little longer

    more...
