Get this.

People would often email me or ask me if they could buy some original art from me. Most couldn't afford it ( my oil paintings and watercolors go minimum 5 figures through my family estate ).

So I had to figure out how to get some people prints/lithos/giclees from me for a reasonable price. With today's scanners and printers it makes it alot cheaper to produce thus dropping the cost. So for several months I asked fans about prices and how they make extra money reselling on Ebay.

Some prints are very cheap, about $10-$20 but if they're limited editions autographed etc. they have a tendency to triple in price and far more. Depends on many factors.

So I figured I could only print 1,000 prints exclusive, autographed, numbered etc. but instead of selling them, give them away to club members. Combining some methods we use in the adult industry I have just gotten a pleasant suprise!

What I did was offered only 1,000 memberships for a monthly fee. That's it, no more than 1,000 members. I was going to charge them $20 a month BUT I get to send them FREE prints with all the glitz ( autographed etc. ) and yes they could resell the art anywhere as they normally would do. I tested it out and with all the hub bub of late I had forgotten to check my stats for members on my test model. Lo and behold I made that membership # in 2 freakin' days. Teaches me a lesson to keep an eye on my stats.

So I'm going to go forward with it. It's fun work and keeps fans and friends happy.

Just goes to show what I knew all along, pornmeistering techniques are usually years ahead of the mainstream.
