Thread: Custome Art

Tweet

Hey All!
I am thinking about doing custom art work of buddies cars. I work in water color. I have this ideal think I may augment my Build a garage to build my car fund. Do you think there would be a market? People could have their rides immortalize in flat wood pulp and water pigments. What do ya think. I have a sample of my concept for my 48.

the last pic I posted was scanned professionally, This one I did on my scanner and it was too small. It is distorted, but it's my pontiac.

What about one in its natural setting, ie on the driveway

That is what I am asking. I can creat custome art from the photos of your rides. Do you think anyone would buy? I love my art. All I have to ask is that you don't reject me because I have no degree. Halmark card already has done that! LOL

Yeah I know guys or wives would go for this. There is a guy that does ths kind of thing at a local cruise in Escondido. I found another guy that does it at the swapmeet. I guess they are doing well enough to keep doing it. The prices seemed high though $300 and up per sketch. Check Vince Crain, use a search engine 'cause I don't know the exact address. Later.

You are one talented woman

Nice work!! It's good to see another artist around here. I do all of my art by hand or on a Macintosh in Adobe Illustrator.

Anyway...just wanted to say great job and don't sweat the fact that you have no degree...neither do I and I've got 13 years on the job as a Graphic Designer. Hang in there and keep up the good work.

Cool! Thanks for teh feed back! If anyone wants theire ride doen let me know. we can hash out the moneys, but it won't be no where near $300.

Just a thought, if you do typical cars and have the original reprinted you could sell prints cheaper. Not as nice as an one off, but it would cut down the price even more. I will try to get some photos of my buddies Camaro and e-mail to you for consideration of a painting. The concept is the one I like, that car-toon style. Oh yeah, I can rebuild a Q-jet without breaking a nail, what type of nail were you using? I fine it very difficult to break a 16d nail.

those are sweet I want one like the top one of a 51 chevy pickup how much you charge

do you have a pic of one you had in mind? Email me and we can work it out, I will give you a hingt it will not be $300. LOL
