By MLF above, I meant Moonlightfans.com. Oy -- these acronyms. :slaphead:

I've never seen the full picture before. Wow! What a stunner! And so perfect for ML. Not just the moon, but also the bridge. I imagine it was so perfect for Joseph because it reminded him of Sarah.

It looks absolutely dramatic on the ceiling. I think the painting makes a lovely memento of Moonlight. I wish I could afford it. I'd be tempted to see how it looks on the ceiling (in a very small hallway). :mrgreen:

I'm thinking a framed print would be very classy and make my office look less like a landfill. There's a nice open space right above my computer...

Thanks for the update, Lilly. Did Alex give any indication that he's okay with the number of people that have expressed interest to date? Or do you think he's looking for a higher number?

Lilly wrote:Hey, all --

I heard from Alex -- as of late last night, he's received about 7 or 8 emails expressing interest in the print. It looks encouraging, but we'd like spread the word even more. Is there anyone who is a member at MLF who might be willing to bring this info over there? Any other forums?

Also, Alex may be stopping by our little forum here to have a look around in the next couple of days.

Image Alex!
A visitor! Fabulous! We welcome you Alex! :wave:

Thanks for the update Lilly! I got tied up today and was a little late in sending my e-mail, but I sent it out tonight. Hopefully we'll spread the word enough.. :fingerscrossed:

Susie - I don't have a definite yes or no, but he did say that it seems promising and that he would start looking into scanning the film so that he can make a print. My gut feeling is that he'd like to see a bit more interest. I will ask him, though.

I just heard from Alex and he IS going to go ahead with the print. :yahoo: Details, including exact size and price, will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks. He says "it will take at least a few weeks to get it proofed and ready to go."

:woohoo:

I might be interested in this print, but I'll have to wait and see what money I come home with from London. LOL It's BEAUTIFUL, colorful and a real eye-catcher. Will have to wait and see.

Thanks for all the info, Lilly!! :)

Well, Christy, London may still be one of the most expensive places in the world :roll: but at least your dollars go a lot further these days than they would have done a year ago.

True. When I went to London back in late 2003, I think the exchange rate was around $1.20. I had planned to go back for my 30th birthday (May 2006), but it just didn't work out. I'm glad I waited to go back. :)

I LOVE that print and I did notice it right away in the program! Off to email Alex (um, the artist). Don't know where I will put it, though. Guess I'll have to redecorate around it!
