The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Congrats!

On another note that Fire Lord print I posted a few pages back that came to me like a dumpster fire was returned. I had to call eBay to force the seller to return payment. I was perusing the Blizzard prints yesterday and low and behold what did I find?
Why it's my mangled Firelord art print. I knew the number looked familiar. Apparently eBay yanked the funds from the sellers account and he needed some quick cash so he sold the damaged print to some sports memorabilia place in his neighborhood and now it's up in all its glory for $100. I love the description. Good luck finding a frame to fix that.

No link other than our Insta page with a picture I shot at Gamescom.

Also I've been eyeing some cook and becker stuff, and while I LOVE the art work they have, they seem extremely overpriced vs the Fine Art Gallery from Blizzard. Is it something different with production or final result? Not bashing them at all but genuinely curious the decision making behind the pricing.
Hi there, Maarten from C&B here. Our licensed prints are produced at a museum-grade, archival standard with a very high ink density and relatively small edition runs. I assume that makes up a bit of the price difference with the Gear prints, although I don't know who prints Blizzard's art stateside and at what specs so can't really comment on that.

But other than that our prints tend to be made in larger sizes than the ones in the Gear store. For example, our Gryphon Rider variant is larger than the one in the Gear store.

Finally, we have licensing fees to pay that Blizzard themselves do not which make a big difference

But, I guess the only way to tell if you think it's worth it is to see one or our prints in the flesh. I can't remember we ever had a return so we must be doing something right . Plus out of all the companies that have approached Blizzard to work on the very top end of art printing they chose to work with us so we must be doing something right I hope

Having SEVERAL of both the C&B and Blizz prints I can confirm without a doubt the C&B prints are of substantially higher quality...

And the larger size is a plus, imo...
