A Con Question

General
You're at a con, browsing Artist's Alley. You spot an artist you don't know selling single prints. How much do you expect to pay?

now if you go to a pro, I imagine $5-$10 depending on quality, size, and b/w or color.

I figure if an artist makes prints int he first place, they've gotta at least make back what they spent to print em.
and prints shouldnt be crazy expensive either, even if its a masterpiece painting, its still just a print.
I recall some of the more popular artists selling prints for up to $30 at the FC before last, but I got an AMAZING quality print from dark natasha for only $20!
The thing looked almost like an original, so mcuh so taht someone stole it :T
gg art whores. gg. *angry fist shake*
Unless they're professionally done. Like.. SUPERPainting quality. Then it's way higher.
Prints aren't worth much, when you really think about it. There's only so much you can do with them. You can frame and hang a few on the walls (depending on the subject matter), but other than that they tend to sit in file folders for years. It's just easier to browse images that you can organize on the computer.
Myself, I've seen and quite liked a few images of otters and orcas swimming in the water. But those still haven't found their way onto my wall :(
Originals however...
Bigger things, things which are matted, or gicle (sp) are obviously going to be higher.
good art aint cheap and cheap art aint good
As well as being my intended comment/response, those are two of my faves. ^^
proper prior planning prevents piss poor product performance
Giclee prints: $15-35, similarly
Ahem, i'm rambling...
I sell my prints for $8, or three for $20. ...but that's a little lower than average i think.
30-60 for their 'special' stuff if they have such.
Just going by experience... :)
