Herja, a bit more info

Bjørn, my friend from Norway, writes:
-----------------------

"Every child learns about her here in Norway. Even though Norway is Lutheran most people know the Norse mythology-stories both from books and from tales told by our parents at bedtime.

Herja is also a verb in both of our two dialects. Basically it means "To make a ruckus". If my daughter would run around screaming and tossing stuff around for no reason, I would tell her to "Gje deg å herja!"

"Gje deg" meaning "Give up/Stop doing" and "å herja" means "to make a ruckus".

BUT, Herja could also work as an adjective, because directly translated to english it means "Ravaged". So it is indeed a versatile word. Name, verb AND adjective;)

Even though no one would name their child "Herja" ( as it has a negative connotation here in Norway), it is a fitting name for a valkyrie.

Thanks for your orders, preorders are now closed!

----------------------------------

so i have been wanting to put out an art print, you know, for kids. instead of going through the hassle of a lottery, i thought i'd try taking preorders. please read all of the below info if you want to know all the details.

after Friday, FEB 18th, 12 PM (NOON) Pacific Standard Time, preorders will be closed.

the edition size will be however many orders i get. could be 50, could be 5,000. i'll announce it on my site sometime tomorrow how big the edition size ends up being.

FAQ:
Q: I am buying this print to resell it, will it go up in price?
A: no. i can pretty much guarantee it will only go down in price.

Q: what does Herja mean?
A: look it up. it's Algonquin for "the good land." well not really. it means this.

Q: can you guarantee this print will look exactly like the jpeg i am seeing?
A: i can guarantee you it will absolutely NOT look exactly like that jpeg. screenprinting is an art, so like, things change in printing. this is what i'm shooting for, and if it prints completely different, i'll send out another email, but i think it should be close.

Q: why not presell these for a week, if you don't care about edition size etc?
A: i have deadlines, this has to be done and start printing tomorrow.

Q: can i buy one after you have these printed? will you have a regular sale?
A: probably i'll have a few extras, but if you want one, use the presale.

Q: will this be a limited edition?
A: everything is limited man. life is limited. but this could be a huge edition, so if you only collect small editions, probably not a good print to pick up. course if no one picks it up then it will be a very small edition, ha ha.

Q: i purchased this quickly, then realized its not super limited, and now want a refund!
A: good grief.

ALSO, as an added bonus, all orders will receive one of the below circle die cut stickers. though you can't choose, it'll be random.
