SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Kaycee Graphics is NOT a non-profit organization. We produce high-quality, limited-edition art reproductions, among other products. The understanding behind the "limited-edition" portion of that statement is that, each print run has a unique attribute that is TOTALLY unlike that presented on alternate offerings.

The recent controversy over the "Re-Issue" of "Vantage," by Kaycee, is totally unwarranted -not to mention out-of-control.

This is the first in a series of blogs designed specifically to address collector's concerns, as well as provide a platform to discuss upcoming products and events. We, at Kaycee Graphics, welcome your comments and questions under the provision that no threatening language or implied intimidation tactics are employed.

As a point of reference, we are providing the following link: https://www.flootie.com/art/819/vantage-by-kaycee-jay-kendall/#.U81LJ5RX-uY as a means of locating the graphic in question.

We are here to serve.

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THESE COLLECTORS?!?!? Seriously, DEATH THREATS? Somebody please tell me that they're not serious!

I'm not taking any more of this nonsense! This poster was originally intended for multiple releases. Geez, these collectors are acting as though they were stockholders in Kaycee Graphics!

When I first posted this poster, on Flootie.com, a little over a year ago, the 50 Giant-sized, Micro-priced prints sold out in a mere four days. A year later, nearing 600 views, I once again made mention of my intention to release a new variation, and lo and behold, these collectors come at me with shanks and chains, practically driving my car off the road, threatening me with everything shy of political disbarment.

This very day, the poster on Flootie.com has passed the 900 mark for views (check it out for yourself at:
https://www.flootie.com/art/819/vantage-by-kaycee-jay-kendall/#.U8yn7pRX-ub ) and the collectors are still calling me up at all hours of the night, telling me that, if I re-issue the poster, the collector value of the original 50 will drop out.

I tend to think that the opposite will occur. That the demand for the original 50 will increase. Anyway, this is all a moot point, because, by the end of next week, the die will be cast. Kaycee Graphics will not respond to terrorist threats. 'Nuff Said.

Crisis? What Crisis?

Last year, Costco sold approximately 1.6 billion gallons of gas,
According to the Costco website. 

That would've been amazing news in the 1970's when Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford were dancing in the White House and people were buy gas, alternately, on odd or even days, due to the oil crunch. Today, however, it's merely a footnote on the Costco website. 

People have been complaining about the price of gas for decades now, but as the prices continue to rise, overall use increases as well. 

Next time you think about the ridiculous price that you're paying at the pump, ask yourself this: Why did I just pay $4 for that 20 oz. bottle of Auquafina at the airport, yesterday? There are still 128 ounces to a US Gallon, so put that in your Kama Sutra Looseleaf and think how cheap gas is, compared to water. 

Wow, let's not even THINK about that espresso you just sprang for.

Kaycee Graphics Fires Back

Kaycee Graphics Announces Press Conference

Due to the number of calls and emails from collectors and their sympathizers, Kaycee Graphics has announced a Press Conference for Monday, July 14th, 2014, at 4am, via conference call. The topic of discussion will be the details of the upcoming release date. Noting that, at 4am, most of the "complainers" still won't have had their first cup of coffee.

Kaycee Graphics Announces Reissue of Popular Prints; Draws Controversy from Collectors

For the last two months, a debate has sprung up around the "re-release" of the ultra-limited edition of "Vantage," by Kaycee, which was first posted on Flootie.com a little more than a year ago. That edition sold out in a mere four days and only featured 50 prints. Collectors are calling foul because they say it will drive down the collector price of the original prints. 

Kaycee Graphics has been buzzing about the re-issue almost from the inception of the first release, but, they say that they are going forward with the plan, this month. This has a few collectors up at arms. A spokesman for KCGI, the parent company of Kaycee Graphics, said that it "...had always been the intention to release "Vantage" as part of a series of six Bald Eagle posters," and that "Those original 16" x 20" posters were only licensed for a limited run from the start." Placing the posters at a popular website for artists, known as Flootie.com, Kaycee Jay Kendall, the original artist said he was "blown away" at how fast those first 50 prints flew out the door.

https://www.flootie.com/art/819/vantage-by-kaycee-jay-kendall/#.U8MtSVWzKpi The original poster can be spotted on the Flootie.com page, even though it's been "SOLD" for over a year. Kendall denies the charge that the poster is being re-issued from sheer greed. "I didn't really see much of that money to begin with (from the original 50), since so much of it was tied up in production and shipping costs." And yet he firmly denies the fact that the reissue has anything to do with recouping those losses.
