casekonly Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 nomaq, if you want to sell those, listen to me...do portraits of the beatles, jim morrison, jimi hendrix (i'd be willing to trade for a hendrix portrait), nelson mandella...even local celebs (to you) like the goodie mob (if i did a portrait of them, i'd find a way to get it to one of them for free. it's advertising like whoa) or luda, whoever. there are tons of people in atl...big jus, prefuse....i'm really impressed for those being your first portraits in all spray. i know you sell your art, so you could make a heap of cash doing portraits. only reason i made this big long suggestion reply. keep it up.

casekonly Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 the one on the left looks ok, but you did better with those first three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Slow down. Slow down. Slow down. The first three, Jimi and whoever the other two are, are really nice. Soft. The fat guy stands out to me as the best... I think because larger people are painted better, if that makes sense. It also kinda reminds me of some old Dizney portraits, only he used color. Anyway... Slow down. And I know cardboard is cheap and there's an unlimited supply in the world... but any serious art buyer would never buy a piece on cardboard. Unless you're dead famous.

seeking Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 i was about to say the same thing. if you paint it on a piece of cardboard, no matter good it looks, it will look cheap and people will pay accordingly. either learn how to make your own canvases, or atleast go to home depot and get yourself some decent wood. also, you can stick to duotone images, but change the black to another color. something that fits the personality of the subject. if you do snoop, use blue for instance. as casek said, if you want to sell these, start doing more marketable subject matter. right now you're painting mostly ghetto rap motherfuckers. people will jock them all day, but when it comes time to coughing up money, you're gonna be trading dope paintings for dime bags...shit isn't worth it. white people is where the money is. and not to make it even more of a race issue, but white people love to buy shit like this off black guys (which, unless i'm confusing you with someone else, you are, right?). if you have some stubby little dreads and a shell necklace, even better. you have to reach out to white peoples desire for culture. you could be making real decent money if you dont mind 'selling' yuorself a bit. just go out to a 'city center' kind of area where peple go just to walk around and hang out, shop, etc, on a saturday or sunday. set up a canvas and spend a couple hours just painting random portraits. have a portfolio with you of your stuff. when people stop to talk to you about it, make sure they leave with a business card. people will buy shit like this for sure. you should also take pics of your shit around to coffee shops and ask if you can hang some stuff there. white people that drink coffee are the best kind of white people. finally, dont sell yourself short when it comes to pricing. for a 43x37 piece, you should be charging ATLEAST $150-$300. ok, im done talking. good luck.

seeking Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 ebays not going to work. you need to hit people up locally. dont pull some cop out shit and stick with cardboard, trust joker on this. you're stuff is good, but it's not really unique. the fact that you put it on a half assed platform just makes it look cheap and unprofesional. you dont have to buy some big ass canvas, for one you could make it yourself and save an assload of money. or even cheaper, just get some decent peices of wood. trust him, and trust me, cardboard is wack.

deceipt Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by Nomaq@Nov 16 2004, 06:25 PM art is art not matirial or media ... thats one of the few intelligent things i've heard you say. i couldn't agree more. as far as selling art though, that sadly doesn't apply. there is a quote i like alot "art has its best moments when it forgets its very name" - jean dubuffet. my issue is i just flat out dont like asking people for money for anything. i really dont. even when they owe me money. (by the way nomak you never did pay me back for them two old-E forties i bought that one nite we went to ryans a year ago ;) ) but for real tho. this is basically the reason i do art as a hobby, and dont try to pursue a career in it, i dont want to "sell myself" to a buncha stupid cracka ass crackas! wait fuck im white too! :yuck: damn i forgot! lol @ seekings comment. what is sad is that what he said is true in so many cases......... :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deceipt Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 verbal kint, if you dont mind me asking, can you elaborate on what exactly it is you use for a "print". im trying to get into that aspect of art. do you use screen printing materials? i actually have sumbody willing to make custom shirts for me for 6 bucks a piece if i send him in the designs with no more than 4 colors and no fades in them. i've used screen printing equipment before, but i dont really have access to any as of right now. i've thought about getting some tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomaq Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 once i buy my screen printer for tshirts and hats .. i'll prolly be busyy 24-7 never . i frame the card board and i like the cardboard look .. but of course the beatles gotta be done on canvas ... but as for me sellin on cardboard ... ima see what happens ... didnt you see my paintings were in a frame shop .. its the framing section at were i work at they wanna frame some for me .. i just havent got anyframed yet ... once its framed im shit it will look mroe like u bastards preciious canvas ... i like my cardboard !!!!! here they are agian cause photobucket canceled my shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
