Every once in a while a rock band will come out with an album and create 300,000 copies or some large number and will sell all of
them. When this happens they get in touch with their distributor and they print more. The Beatles Greatest Hits is, I'm sure, an
'unlimited run' album, and will continue to be made long after all the Beatles are dead.
The question is: If BLT work
reaches rock-star status, will we overextend our supply (as we need to print so many to make lithography worthwhile)? And if so,
do we make more?
In my opinion, the answers should be (1) I hope so and (2) If we've sold X,XXX posters there is no
reason we shouldn't print more and keep the trend going.
Having a few famous people doing 'unlimited run' would also
be in alignment with some of the philisophical ideals of the BLT, and would up the level of intrigue and public interest in the
Blue Lumber Tiger.
The only question I see is: How will we keep making these after we're hitchhiking the galaxy?

Limiting an edition to one million is the wackiest idea Iv'e ever heard. Why one million?
