[sherlyn's note: this message was originally sent to the indigo
girls mailing list at netspace.org.]

hi y'all,

i just posted the following message to the
ani difranco list.  i thought y'all might be interested
too.  please respond to the message if you indeed
are interested, using the method i've indicated.  read on
for a special note to my fellow indigo girls
fans.

subject: interest in unique ani poster? (kinda long)

hi everyone,

i'm new to this list...my impetus to join the list now is to find out
if my fellow ani fans would be interested in purchasing a
very unique, potentially valuable poster of ani. here's
the deal.....

some fans i know are interested in such an item.  recently,
i contacted an artist, world-famous for this rock posters for the
past 30 years, about the chances of him painting ani.  to my
utter delight, he replied that he is very interested in creating
an ani poster.  he loves ani's music and respects her artistic
as well as business talents.  this artist, who i have to refrain
from naming until the project is approved, has a very
unique and vivid style (colorful, respectful, artful, beautiful...
you get the picture....the guy is a wonderful talent).

the artist would consider painting a poster of ani if there is
enough support for one. the artist needs a specific amount of
interest in the project before he starts it since he puts a lot of time,
effort, and money into painting the poster and then creating
numbered and signed prints.

cost would be approximately $30, the usual price for his posters.
note that: (1) many of his posters have become very valuable
collector's items, and (2) a portion of the proceeds might go to a
charitable organization of ani's or her fans' choosing. (such
charitable projects have been done in the past with the sales
of his posters; for an ani poster, this would be determined
once the project gets off the ground.)

the company who helps the artist sell his
posters has asked me to find out from all of you how much
interest there would be in such a project.  all sales would be
through the company...none via this list.  also, if there appears
to be enough support, a company representative will
contact rbr and ani to seek approval for the project.   they
told me the project would not happen if ani does not approve
of it, out of respect for her and her independent business.

information from the company about a potential ani poster:

> the poster would be approx 14" x 26" (standard concert
> poster size). it would be printed on thick poster paper and
> would be designed completely freehand using ink and various
> media like paint and pastels, but no computers (the artist works
> purely freehand). his art is world famous and is collected all
> over the world. for him to choose to do ani is very cool
> considering he only does about 6 posters a year, as they
> take him 2 months each to do.

if you are interested in such a poster (which you'd be able
to see on the internet once it is complete and before you
order, and you'd be able to order using check, money order, or
credit card directly from the artists' sales company), please reply
to me (lschreihart@juno.com) as follows:

in the subject line of the message, write "ani poster".
in the body of the message, write only "i am interested." if you
express your interest, you are under absolutely no
obligation to purchase anything...this is only to gauge
the amount of interest out there.

thanks! i'm posting this because i am interested. the
only way i'll be able to order such a poster is if many other
people are interested too.

lisa

***********************
a special note to the ig list:  i have inquired with the
aforementioned artist about the possibility of
creating an indigo girls poster too.  at the time,
he was more enthusiastic about an ani poster, but
if he is alerted to the fact that there is a huge amount
of interest in an indigo girls poster, he'd likely opt
to do one of those in addition to or instead of the
ani poster.  our job is to show him we're interested.

check out this site:

www.visualgallery.com/wir/

now you know who the potential artist is.  the
poster you'll see at this site is very nice.  i ordered
one myself and will soon have it professionally
framed.  notice that ig is written along the border
of the poster, keeping great company with other
artists such as ani, me, stevie, etc, etc, etc.  very
cool!  a great collectors' item, especially for a
collector of rock posters or anything indigo-
related.

so, if you are interested in an indigo girls poster
created by this artist, do the same as for the ani
poster....reply to me (lschreihart@juno.com) and
in the subject line, write "ig poster".  in the body of
the message, write "i am intersted."  thanks!  it
would be a most awesome thing if this project
could get off the ground.  and this one isn't
going to be an issue of copyright.  everything
involved has been done for a long time, and
very successfully and legally, by the artist.

thanks, y'all!
lisa s.
