What to do with this "Padron Grande" cigar artwork?

muhren · 12-10-2010, 05:11 PM

I recently completed a large version of a Padron Anniversary Band. I posted it to facebook and Jeff & Jessica Padron wanted a print. Cool.

Jeff requested a black & white version of the print. I obliged and set a limit for black & whites at six prints.

He kept #2 for himself and let me know #4 would be framed and hung in their factory.

Jessica let me know she would be hanging her color version in her condo.

Again, cool.

They sent the remaining 4 prints back to me...ALL signed by the entire Padron Family!!

One was damaged in shipping (#5 with some slight tears around the edge...it's the one pictured here) and I can't really sell or trade it.

So, what should I do with it??

The poll are my thoughts, but I'm open to others.

It's a 2' x 3' Black & white Gliclee print (print #5 of 6)

I thought of sending it off to someone, but it's "damaged" (in a frame you most likely won't see it but you MAY) so I wanted whomever is getting it to know that it's not perfect....ya know.

I voted to take donations for a raffle for the troops. This way its a win, win!

Emjaysmash · 12-10-2010, 05:16 PM

Yeah. to be honest I cant see where the damage is...

either sell it cheaper or do the troops thing! that'd be a great use of it!

shilala · 12-10-2010, 05:30 PM

I voted for "raffle it".
If you don't want the trouble, send it off to one of the brothers who holds regular raffles so they can add it to the next prize pool.

Raffle for the troops.

CigarNut · 12-10-2010, 05:31 PM

It's a very cool print -- great job!

I voted for raffling it too

Sounds fine with me! Hook me up with a name.

Best,

I like the raffling it for the troops idea. I cannot see the damage either and I'm sure anyone would love to win it and hang it.

Vinnie (massphatness) does regular raffles, so does papajohn67.
Shawn (silverfox) used to, and I've done them in the past. Bazookajoe and Dave (67trishield) would be good guys to ask, too. Maybe even Fred, but I can't think of his username right now. I'm sure someone knows it.
Someone has to have something brewing. If not in the works, at least stewing in the back of their heads. We haven't had a monster raffle for a couple weeks at least.

Richard (rrplascencia) or Hugh (hotreds) are our troop supporter guys, they might be your first stop. They'd probably know if something is in the works.
If you can't find someone, let me know. I'll find someone for ya.

Thanks, brother!!!
