Horrible, hateful attitude, guy!
These look very cool and there aren’t a lot of artists doing synth-related work.

Wow. Some people are just rude.
The artist posts the actual file so you can run your own on a letterpress if you want …
Yet you still dish ‘em for offering a signed print??
The artwork is gorgeous and will make a fine framed piece for my studio.

Not sure what process he’s using, but normally it’s much more expensive per item to do an ink jet art print than it is to have something printed 4-color process. But 4-color is only viable in high volumes.
Going the giclée print approach (high quality inks on archival paper) makes sense and probably makes a project like this viable.

Thanks everyone. I’ve uploaded the original vector artwork for download (pages linked above) for anyone who wants to print their own or just take a look at how they’re built. If there’s any questions about the prints please let me know.

Very, very nice. Selling and at the same time offering the vector art for download.
I’ve taken a look at your site and saw FM-Space. Can’t find any info on it. Where is it?
