$200 per print from a pen plotter? I'm sorry but unless each print is hand-drawn or something, then $200 is a bit much. Especially if there's masters sitting on a hard drive somewhere.
So don't buy one. If you are really buggered, compete.

As numbered edition artworks that would be considered very low end. The price is a reflection of both intrinsic and extrinsic value as perceived in the fine art world. Intrinsic meaning the investment of individualized effort, which include what we might call "set up costs," and extrinsic meaning: can this artist command some multiplier based on their name? $200 suggests a modest return on modest sales by an "unknown…

Odd comment considering the regular HN posts urging people not to undervalue their work.
People here seriously overvalue their work. How much effort put towards peoples' countless "Show HN" projects would have been better spent contributing to similar, more-developed open-source projects? If this is the bazaar, maybe cathedrals ain't so bad... Art is subjective, of course, and an artist is free to ask whatever they want for their work. I am unimpressed and probably not the target audience (as other comme…

It's art. The marginal cost of producing each print includes the price of keeping the artist alive and inspired. Also, you should probably expect to pay more for the five seconds where Jumpman actually rescues Pauline.
Cool, he has an instrumented emulator, but really, does playing a retro game for five seconds have ANY intrinsic value beyond worthless nostalgia?
In art all that matters is creation and output. A piece of art should not have to come with an explanation or hidden information in order to justify its worth. While it is important to fuel inspiration and artistic experiences, it's a fucking joke that I am expected to pay extra for the "experience" that lead to producing the work when it has no value to me, and especially when said experience isn't as unique as it is being made out to be.
Out in the real world people will judge art way more harshly than I. Real artists don't mind that.
Aesthetically they are nice posters and art-pieces. It's just that some of us are unmoved by the accompanying story.

This is where you are wrong, many of the 'more-developed open-source projects' are what once used to be on Show HN and other forums. Instead of working on their personal projects, if people only contributed to more-developed open-source projects, then that is all we will be left with, only those softwares, no new innovation.

Yeh, it's only like probably 5 cents for the paper and maybe what, 10 cents for ink. This guy shouldn't charge more than a quarter for this!
Woah, hey, it's me! I wanted to share this on HN but wasn't sure if it was kosher. I guess someone else did it for me! I just started working on these last week and they were very well received on Twitter. Then, to my astonishment, Edward Tufte retweeted it! https://twitter.com/EdwardTufte/status/954537749234765825 I have one of his books but didn't realize he was on Twitter until that moment. I was blown away. A lot…
So...thanks for writing up and collating so much information about the NES in one place!

I'm pretty sure the hit-to-miss rate on Show HN heavily favors "miss"
