It is now it's time for our fourth, and possibly final, Limited Edition, Classic AD&D Art Project! The Limited Edition Art Committee is proud to announce that our next featured artist will be...drum roll....Clyde Caldwell!  He's agreed to be the next artist in this series, but we're doing this project slightly different from previous projects.

Clyde charges significantly more for commissioned art than any of our previous artists.  ScketreWhisp proposed to the committee that he personally commission the artist and then allow the committee to make prints from the art at a cost we could afford.  This means he gets the original.  ScketreWhisp agreed to commission a work of art completely in line with our previous guidelines.  The committee is grateful for his generous intervention.  We could not have produced affordable prints without him.

The Acaeum Limited Edition Art Committee (ALEAC) is composed of Badmike, myself, grodog, Burntwire Brothers, and Foulfoot.  This next print will be in color, the same dimensions as the Otus and Elmore print (17" x 24"), and cost around $180 (plus shipping).  The printing process will match the quality of the Larry Elmore, Erol Otus and Jeff Easley prints.  We would like to have this art available for the 2018 NTRPG CON, but we're not rushing it.  It should be finished no later than 2019 NTRPG CON.

The content of the art will be old school AD&D--something one would see gracing a module or manual cover--an adventuring party battling an old school monster.  The word "Acaeum" will appear in the piece.  Each piece will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The number of prints will be limited to 75.  Priority will be given to those who participated in the last project first and regularly contribute to the Acaeum community.  A person can request, but may not necessarily receive, up to two prints.  Allowing two print purchases by some members may be what it takes to get to 75 paid-for prints.

The print number selection process will be similar to the last art project.  This process is not perfect.  Members of the committee receive little financial or tangible benefit from leading this project except that they have chosen to receive first dibs on print numbers.  People who participated in the last project and who are regular contributors to the Acaeum community or those who registered their interest before have been added to a "Loyalty List."  This is in appreciation for all in the Acaeum who supported us. If you are on this list, just state your intentions to participate (bold names have registered their interest already), and you'll know your likely print number (according to the Loyalty List #) and your guaranteed participation.  Registering your interest is not binding.  Anyone else can request to be included in this project, but Acaeum contributors will receive priority over those who are one-post-wonders.

The committee plans on publishing a transparency report when this project is done as we did with our last projects.  We welcome feedback but strongly prefer it be on this thread and not by private message. So, please begin registering your interest on this thread (if your name is not listed or bold) and whether you would like to buy two prints.  

Great news!  Count me in!

Add me to the list please

I'm already bold (probably based on my comment on the other thread), but yes I'm in for sure.

YES!!!!  I was hoping we could get Clyde and doing so for $180 is a steal.  I would have paid double.

I might have to kiss the committee (except for the burtwire boys )

Martin

I'm still in too.  

I'm in!  Well done ALEAC, super stuff

Count me in please!
