Other than he can elaborate almost convincingly what his intentions are. Like with anything in this progressive world of ours - you cannot stay old school forever. I agree with RDB Korn: He wants to have his cake and eat it too. What’s the difference between him and the rest of the world? Other than he can elaborate almost convincingly what his intentions are.

He wants to have his cake and eat it too. He knows full well that if he produces what's referred to as an "open edition" (i.e. unlimited) of his work, the market value will be less (perhaps far less) than for a limited edition. So the summarize his philosophy succinctly, he intends to produce an open edition by printing it in batches, each batch to be designated as its own edition, complete with the type of numbering associated with a limited edition. This is just another wrinkle on the giclee merchants who produce editions of thousands in whatever size fits on your wall. Despite his intentions, what Jensen is doing is not the best thing for the people who support him by buying his work. Not by a long-shot. Well…Mr Jensen is full of it.
