thanks again for all the lotto submissions, all the kind words, all the orders. its always a great honor and i do appreciate it. i know there were some bummed people out there, i got some of those emails, i'm sorry about that. part of the reason i put sarah in charge of the lotto is that she is a machine, she can't be bargained with, she can't be reasoned with, she doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. and she absolutely will not get this reference to the terminator movies.
but seriously, i wish i had more prints, i wish i could tell who actually was going to keep the poster forever, framed above their fireplaces, handing it down from generation to generation, creating a small shrine to it - and i would sell to those people. but the lotto is just random. sure some people have won multiple times while others have never won. i don't feel guilty about that because it is completely random. if i started telling sarah who to pick that would take out the randomness.
as a few of you pointed out, the store link was posted online and some people purchased it without getting picked in the lotto. it wasn't the end of the world, they were refunded, no hard feelings. sarah didn't enjoy the extra work but its all business, it didn't ruin our day. i know what its like to want something badly enough that you just have to take the chance. i was that way with the transformer movies. and i was let down each time. they were awful.
anywho, hopefully this didn't ruin anyones day, mondo does the random drop and i do the lotto, between the two hopefully there's a good balance of opportunities. and i guarantee this poster is not the last great poster mondo will put out, so many more chances to pick up a great print. it could be my last print worth buying but that's another story.
so, thanks again, have a great weekend and have a great thanksgiving to those of you in the u.s. o' a. or as the rest of the world calls it, thursday.
best
