danitrio

I was looking at the Danitrio pens and saw one I liked. I checked the price: $32,000. Yes, five digits.

It can be ordered with a nice box to hold note paper.

But while the 100 Kids and the kids notepaper box cost tens of thousands of dollars the same artist did about twenty kids pens each with only one kid and on different colored backgrounds and each representing either a different kid's activity or kids folktale.

In many ways those twenty pens were simply exercises, the artist working out in larger scale positions and poses to later get incorporated into the 100 kids pens.

Those pens were then sold at prices that most of us might be able to afford and enjoy.

About my reaction when pricing a Nakaya raden even though the raden was about 8x cheaper I'm going to require a defibulator if this keeps up!
