Wow... How did I miss all this activity? Sorry, all.
Um, yes. It's accurate to say that my "price" is a set of chips for myself... When I did the denominated Tikis I sold the rights to a company in exchange for chips, and I tried it with a couple of companies for the Dia De Los Muertos as well.
If a company would be willing to purchase the rights to the artwork (in chips), or if a group buy were willing to subsidize a set for me, I'd happily let somebody run a group buy. I'm not excited about the prospect of a group buy where I get chips based on other people's purchases, because somebody else would be doing all the work with the only benefit being that they "get" to buy the chips I designed. I consider my work on the designs to be extremely valuable (that is, worth a nice-sized set of chips), but I don't expect chip customers to pay it directly, if you know what I mean...
Dunno. If somebody is serious about running a buy, let me know, and we'll see what we can do. I've heard that PGI has been sold. How is this affecting the ceramics customs market?
