Original Drawings for sale?

Journal Entry: Thu May 8, 2008, 7:20 PM
If I were to sell some of my original ink drawings would there be any takers? They wouldn't be all that cheap (maybe 100+ for the 16x20in pieces, and 50+ish for the 10x10in ), depending on the size of the original/how much time I put in, and a few other factors. I'm just checking to see if there's any interest, because I need to supplement my income for a future move(and groceries LOL). I may also sell some 13x19 prints. They will be printed from a 13x19 Epson Printer on Enhanced Matte Paper, so they'd be pretty high quality...as far as inkjets go. :)

Just a heads up, I work with sumi ink and the ink used in the Pentel Pocket Brush ink pen. I know that sumi is pretty archival but I'm not 100% sure about the brush pen ink. It doesn't seem sensitive to sunlight, but I don't know how the work will look say...10 years from now.

Also, sorry I haven't been around to comment much. Life has been hectic, "07-08" is really dragging me through the gutter. :P

You don't need to thank me at all. Leaving this message was nothing I felt obliged to do, nor was it time-consuming. It was more like a necessity, an impulse, a rush. "You are great, and I need you to know it." What a wonderful coincidence it came precisely when you are having a rough time. Sometimes these little appreciation messages from a stranger are all it takes to keep us going on well at least it happens to me, but I'm strange, so there

If I was forced at gunpoint to give a pseudo-moralistic sermon of any kind, I would say trust yourself. Even (especially) when it looks like it's a complete madness. :)

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me this message. I've been having a rough time lately and seeing this on my page definitely makes a difference. Thanks again! :)

To Mr. :
You are one of the best artists I have seen in a while. Not only on dA, but almost anywhere. You have style, which is something most people have come to forget. I could recognize any drawing of yours with my eyes closed. Your work is amazing, not only the linework but also the themes you choose, the poses, the composition, the colours. You do not sit around comfort zones, but experiment and are ready to make mistakes and learn from them, from what I see in your drawings. You are an inspiration and a pleasure to watch.

Told you so!

Thanks man! I'm really glad you dig it. I'm not exactly sure why, but it just seemed to come unexpectedly. I definitely got some good stuff planned in the works, though. I'm sure you won't regret it.

And don't mention it, you had my support from the second I saw your work. :thumbsup:
