OK, So We Made About $5

Posted on by Lost Art Press

We sold out of the letterpress posters today. I did a little math, and we broke even. We might have even made $5. 

I don’t like making limited-edition things. I’d like everyone who wants one of these to get one. But I also don’t want to wipe the bottoms of my future grandbabies with letterpress posters.

So here’s what I’d like to do. If you want to buy a letterpress poster of the “Family Tree of Chairs,” leave a comment below with your name and the country where you live. That will help me determine if we can afford another run of posters, and if we should make them available to our overseas vendors.

The poster would be the same price ($33) and printed via letterpress with a different ink, such as green, blue or brown.

And for those of you who purchased posters today, thank you. Your support helped fund the custom endsheets in “The Stick Chair Book.”

  11. I live in Indianapolis but I was a little late to the game. I would totally buy one in green or blue or brown find my phone

    1. and if we should make them available to our overseas vendors. Canada is more of a sea of bureaucracy away than actual water.

  25. I’d love to see it in sepia, Brown, less so. Green or blue, not at all,

    U.S.

  26. Hi Chris, great poster! Just getting back on dry land, I’d like to get one, whatever color…
    Robert, North Carolina

  27. I would love one. Tried earlier but was too late.
    California USA

  33. any colour and the pencils. hope you can convince Lee Valley to carry the pencils for you.

  34. I could absolutely see this poster in green or blue, but brown doesn’t sound as appealing.
    DMC in the USA

  42. I managed to snag one today but will def buy a second one if you decide to print another run (preferably in blue).

  47. Hi Christopher! Didn’t want to be greedy, so I just bought one. I’d like another in a color, blue if I have a choice.
    Craig in (Maryland), USA!!

  52. Me too (not a fan of green ink) for France (German or Swedish retailer ?). Have a nice day.

  57. I would buy a second on. Especially if they are done in green ink. (USA)

  60. Perhaps if you made them pre-order you could print enough for all that want. I managed to order the first one, but would be interested in another.

  63. Ricardo, in Norway. Would definitely get one from Classic Hand Tools or Rubank Verktygs (hyvlar.se). Same goes for dividers!

  66. Thomas Banks. USA. I would buy one. I also like the idea someone said of buying a PDF file and I can print it myself.

  70. Shannon Truelove, PA, USA
    Would love to gift my woodworker brother this for his new shop!!!

  76. Hi Chris,

    They look beautiful. I would totally order one or two….especially in a deep blue or dark green! I’ll be out at sea until late August, though

    Thanks!
    Derek

  80. Paul, Canada. I would get 2 if possible. Even more I’d love to take a LAP Welsh-ish stick chair class were that ever to happen. But upon retirement I will probably attempt one on my own with the new book. Thank you Chris.

  83. A whole $5? You can get yourself a giant pretzel for that kind of money!

    And I’d absolutely buy one, in any of those colours. From Canada here.

  87. Only $5 profit on the $33 posters? Did you give free shipping? Maybe you’ll make more on your $12 box of 5 pencils, or your $165. work shirt. Those are a bit too pricy for my tastes. jim – Ohio

  102. I would definitely buy one should there be another run, and it doesn’t sell out before I see the posting showing it’s available. Love literally every single item you all produce, and will happily and gradually buy it all- Johnathan in USA

  118. The print just arrived in fine shape. It is lovely; image, layout, paper, printing. It is worth reprinting!

  122. Joseph, Canada. Please and thank you! 🙂 I have your ATC poster framed in my office and admire it every day
