I am investigating the possibility of printing high-quality, large-format 'Art Print' posters of this artwork, which I originally created to promote my book back in 2007:
I would need to re-create the artwork, as the original Master File was lost in a 2008 hard drive crash. Fortunately, I believe I still have all the individual assets, so it can be done. Also, I would use that opportunity to replace my Mego Book logo, in the lower right corner, with actual Mego and/or WGSH logos. (I presume Collectors would prefer such a poster for their Toy Displays/Rooms to come without any reference to my book.)
The poster would be a foot-and-a-half wide by two feet tall (18x24) and feature photos — all from my original high resolution Book archive files — of Mego's entire 8" WGSH offering, as shown above.
Before I tackle the project, I would need to confirm whether there is even a market for these. So here's my proposal:
I would ask interested Mego Collectors to place a $5 PayPal deposit to reserve one of these Limited, First Edition posters. I do not expect the final price to exceed $45 per print (ideally, it would be less, depending upon Collector response). I would need at least twenty-five (25) Mego Collectors willing to spend $45 (the $5 Deposit would get applied to the final cost, of course) to own one of these posters. Shipping costs TBD.
Thought I'd gauge interest here before I move any further. Any sincere takers? Let me know!
