My Print Finally Came!

March 24th, 2009

I ordered this print on 03/02 and it finally came yesterday! Took a follow-up email wondering politely where the heck my freaking print was, and when it arrived it came to the wrong address (billing address versus specified shipping address) but it finally arrived! And it had sparkly stickers on the outside, so that sort of makes up for it being sent to the wrong place. I do love a sparkly sticker.

Click to embiggen, it's totally worth it.

Anyway, normally I don’t geek out over limited edition things, but this is Gaiman and I absolutely love not only the poem but also the illustrations by Jouni Koponen. Then add the fact that there are only 750 of them in the world…

Originally Neil had posted about it on his blog. I saw it, thought (in a moment of fiscal responsibility) that I probably didn’t technically need such a thing. Waited a month and still was thinking about it, so that (plus the fact that 20% of the proceeds are donated to the CBLDF) finally forced my hand. Had to have. I am actually thinking about redesigning my bedroom around this poster, since my bedroom is stupid looking and I have felt uninspired to change it. I think color blocks like this might be really cool.

Now I just have to go about finding a 10″x28″ frame. Hints and suggestions?

Looks good – nice artwork. However, I’m a little displeased with you – why did you spend a month thinking about it? Impulse buy is a must!

I’m sure it will look good in your bedroom, but if you’re putting it into that 10×28 frame, don’t put it over your bed – with your luck it will fall down in the night and hit you.

Well, I think it’s completely cool, despite the fact that I almost had a heart attack when I saw it cost $45. LOL. Neil is worth it, so that makes it ok.
