(Q - Exalastro: and the mini Owls, did we receive the press release...?)
MB: yeah, nice guys, I was at the founder's just now. I'm going back tomorrow. Yes yes yes and well we are going to do them, there is no doubt. The problem is that it is overwhelmed and here we are making bronze so they will be made with wax, the first ones that had been made had been made in sand molds, that's not the even, it's not the same quality, there they will be much more beautiful and only well it takes time to make them.
And the first one that I had commissioned, it crashed, so the result is not pretty and that's it, so I refused the delivery and so we left for a ride but the result will be up to par. your patience.
(Q - ??: we can still order one.?)
MB: Yeah but unfortunately I had to increase the price because it's not the same story and on the first ones I'm going to ultimately lose a little money so I had to increase the price. price, but frankly, then the print run will be 150 copies and then we will do other things. But we won't make them anymore. There they are now, I believe, at €195.
(Q - ??: and it's 150 copies limited series?)
MB: yeah that’s it they will be numbered.
(Q - ??: is there any left Michel?)
MB: yes yes for the moment we are at 81 I think, I don't think there have been any other orders since. We're going to make the series of 150, but the last ones I can't sell at that price because I'm losing money.
(Q - DrZoid: is it possible Michel to reserve one to be able to buy it on site at the art ingot, possibly when it opens?)< /u>
MB: you can always reserve one of course.
They're going to come out, he's not going to be able to do everything in a single pour, he told me that he was doing his pour in the second half of October for the first pour so in November we're going to have some, after that it goes quickly afterwards.
From the end of October and the beginning of November and after the next pour, I don't know when he will do it.
I'm going to try for him to put as much as possible, because in fact when he makes cast iron he has a huge oven and he fits it in, he puts it in on a kind of pallet with a forklift, he takes it in inside the oven and there are hundreds of pieces with it so as it is very busy there is not always enough space in the oven to pass them to me. But let's say that the first 80 in my opinion, by, I would say by the end of November at the latest, we will have them. To go to 150, it might take a little longer, but we'll talk about it again, I'll go back tomorrow. He will check with his mold, the one who makes the molds for him and we will see how we can try to go as quickly as possible.
(Q - ??: there will be a press release which will be established on the release of the latest versions on the mold which will be different from the first, because if I pre-order one today which I will receive the one that is made with…)
MB: no, no, the ones in circulation are the first ones that were made, I don't know what year, the ones that are already in circulation had been made with sand, that's why they are a little granite appearance. These will be different because I want them to be a little smoother, they will be weathered, that the others weren't. They have a patina so they're going to be pretty cool.
And the base will be made of bronze, it's small plates that I'm going to have made and which will be glued on because casting bases will be even more complicated, more expensive too. So there is a moment, we have to be reasonable a little but the result will be superb in any case.
(Q - DrZoid: so I must be stupid but I don't see where we can reserve or place an order currently it's not available yet?)
MB: Yes, if they are on the publishing website but at €195 you will have to pay for them straight away. They are for pre-order if you want, just reserve one, send a message to the editions gmail.
(Q - DrZoid: well I wanted to order but come pick it up on site if that suited you. But that was just that.)
MB: Well, it's not a problem to ship them anyway, but in any case between the eighty-one and some that will be ordered and then the rest, I think the rest will be put in art bullion sale probably.
