Thanks for your orders, Hell Ride is now sold out.
also, i had a few people ask if their copies were signed or not, i should clarify, all posters sold on my site are signed and numbered, i was only mentioning how many were signed because mondotees copies were not signed. but they are numbered, and they are the exact same poster, same edition, same everything, minus the signature. check my FAQ for a more detailed explanation

thanks for your orders, spaced is sold out. my apologies on the email i sent out, i used an older email template with tstout: followup as the subject. and i changed it, but for whatever reason, it went out as a followup. which it wasn't.
so, apologies for the misleading email subject line. i'm in your spam folder, i know.

i will be selling screenprinted copies of my Hell Ride poster within the next week or so. i'll have 50 copies for sale, signed and numbered.

for those of you who missed out on a vermont print, PostersandToys.net will have some for sale tomorrow (tuesday) on their site, under 'New Stuff' probably.
also, i updated my shopping cart situation, so shipping is no longer included in the price for USA buyers, but rather gets tacked on at the end. apologies, shipping is not cheap, and this way i can price my prints affordably in the future, and you'll end up saving, especially when you buy multiple posters, since the shipping is just added to the overall order, not per poster. ta dah.

thanks for all the orders, i believe i am sold out of the Vermont art piece.
as screenprinted pieces go, in my opinion these are one of the nicer finished pieces, quality wise. so, hopefully those of you that purchased one are happy with them.

under Tstore i've put up a new artprint, Vermont. where i used to live actually. its 4 separate colorways, but all part of the same run, so 20 of each color, all numbered out of one run of 80. i'll actually only have 10 of each colorway, PostersandToys.net will have the other 10 of each color. so, not a ton, but not a little amount.
these will be available wednesday, july 23rd, 12noon, pacific standard time. i'll send out an email beforehand though.

well thanks everyone for your conchords posters orders, i still have some left of some of the posters, unfortunately the glow in the darks sold out in about 2 seconds, so my apologies to those i refunded. if i could print a million i would.
i learned a few things, one being that i should set up a more traditional store/checkout system. at least according to my friend cris dabica. so, i'll get working on that.
tstout.com 2.0.
you can also check out the migration 2 print under tstore, while not for sale, i do have them printed and a photo of them for your viewing pleasure. those will be available soon through postersandtoys.net . email me if you'd like to be added to my mailing list for further information regarding their release date.

time sure flys, huh? this month is getting away from me. work work work.
also, i just updated my FAQ section, answering a few questions i get all the time. ok twice.
regarding my new prints under tstore, they're still not printed yet, i probably put them up a little early, but if you're on my mailing list i'll send out an email when they're going to go on sale.
-------------------------------------------
How can I get on your mailing list to be notified of upcoming poster releases?
sure, email me at tyler@tstout.com - and say 'put me on your mailing list.'
PLEASE do a reprint of this particular poster, I will buy it!
at the moment i don't do reprints. in the case of the alamo posters, i can't do reprints. those are posters made to advertise a specific screening of a particular movie on a specific date and time.
I bought a poster from the Alamo drafthouse and its numbered but not signed. Why?
the Alamo usually needs their posters much sooner than i do, to have for sale at the screening. usually this means they are printed and shipped immediately, and since my screenprinter is in seattle (2.5 hours away from me), there isn't an opportunity for me to sign them in time. Alamo's posters are numbered, and the ones i have for sale are numbered as well out of the same run. all posters for sale on my site are signed.
Where else can I find your stuff for sale?
well, ebay sometimes has stuff, under 'tyler stout' or sometimes under that posters name (like 'big trouble in little china' or something). also, postersandtoys.net has stuff of mine, as does postercabaret.com and lonestarposters.com . also, expressobeans.com - which is kinda a gathering place for poster enthusiasts. Note: as far as i know all these places/people are on the level, but i'm not actually involved in any way if you buy from them, so theres that. plus, i have absolutely no control over any prices other than the ones on tstout.com. i price them here, everyone else prices them on their own sites.
How do I buy a poster from you?
you can tell which posters are for sale by seeing if theres an 'Add to Cart' button under the poster image. otherwise its sold out. if its for sale, click 'Add to Cart.' - when you're ready to check out, click on the shopping cart in the upper right corner, which should take you to the checkout page. if you're not used to using paypal, drop me an email about using a cashiers check.
How do you come up with your poster prices?
shipping plays a big part in that. shipping usually runs 8-10 bucks. you've probably shipped posters for less, but that's how much my post office charges me. so, if a poster is $20, $10 of that is shipping. easy. shipping outside of the usa usually costs me about $25. i know, ridiculous. i have the receipts if you don't believe me. rest assured that at the end of the day, all the money i make selling posters goes right towards getting the next poster printed.
Are your posters signed/numbered/screenprinted?
Yep.
I'm interested in having you do some work for my company / band / etc?
drop me an email.
I'm interested in having you do some work for my company / band / etc...for free?
drop my friend tom an email (mail@thethomaswilson.com)
Do you take all the jobs that come your way? Why not my job?
this isn't working, you're suffocating me. no, i don't take a lot of stuff that comes my way. not because i can afford to turn down work, but i can only do so much, and if i have other commitments, then i'll probably have to say no to yours. but check out the links on my friends page, lots of these guys do similar work. the world is your oyster my friend.
I'm interested in doing posters for a living, any advice?
go for it. lots of bands and venues out there, just start talking to them.
I'm interested in talking to you on the phone, what is your number?
i call you. one sec. is busy. maybe later.
Are these really Frequently Asked Questions?
that's the first time i've been asked that.
