<p>Well it's great you decided to work with UO, because if you hadn't they'd just take what they wanted and give no credit or money.</p>

<p>Congratulations Ashley!
So, what exactly is Urban going to be selling? The prints I see in the photo? Or are they using the art on clothes, etc?</p>

<p>Thanks again guys! And to answer Emily's question they are selling the three pieces of art together as a triptych. It will be found under "wall decor". Each peice is 8 x 8 x 1 1/4. We handled the artwork and Urban Outfitters did all of the production. In fact, about a month ago we got a surprise Fed Ex delivery that had the final product! If all goes well, we hope to have a chance to do other projects.</p>

<p>how surreally exciting. congratulations.
whenever the big debate about whether stores like Urban help or just screw over indie designers/artists comes about, i always thought about how they sell art/housewares/etc. with the original artist's name on it and everything. it's good to hear that you're not packing up your own hands-on business end in the meantime -- harmony between indie & corporate? huh? awesome.</p>

<p>Not sure HOW I missed this article when it was first published?!?!?!
Your sense of proportion and balance for your business is very grounded and inspiring. Thanks for being so straight forward and sharing the story of how this all came about for you. And congratulations!
Since the products should be out now, any follow up on how the pieces sold through U.O. preformed?
