Digital Cameras: Recording Progress on Drawing in One Day

[Evo]

Kurdt has a friend that draws fairly decent cartoons and he was told he should charge 350 pounds per print. I told him that was nuts. Kurdt got mad at me.

Great artists just do not get that much, and a fair cartoonist even less. It's the rare artist that hits it big. And they're not always the most talented. It's more suckering in wealthy people. Supposedly Picasso once said that he couldn't respect anyone that paid huge sums for his art.

 

[waht]

Deco Nocturne is very happy.

 

[Evo]

zoob, where is my Evo drawing? I know you named one for me.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Wow.

I love the expression in the face too.

zooby do you do any paints or work with pastels etc.?

Thanks much!

No, I don't paint. Never figured out how to handle it. Never really tried pastels. Graphite and colored pencils are the absolute most portable and least messy media: I can work in cafes with them and no one's bothered and there's no mess.

Um...Kurdt paid me 350 pounds to break the link to it.

Edit: Here, I found it:

Evo Evening:

Deco Nocturne is very happy.

Thanks! I hope to use that model, a girl named Rozalynn, in something else sometime, too. Very appealing face.

 

[zoobyshoe]

My friend and fellow artist, "fruitfly", (star of "Lust For Fruit") said I should stop being so symetrical with these. So this was the next one:

Reverie Of The Citadel

 

[zoobyshoe]

Here's a crooked smile for Dave and SA:


The Secret Blossom

 

[zoobyshoe]

"Tijuana"

The colors in her eyes are the colors of the Mexican flag.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Beautiful renderings. Have you ever tried Surrealistic drawing, like portraying dream images?

Here you go, Loren; this one ended up as something one might label "surreal":

Smoke And Mirrors

 

[Evo]

Um...Kurdt paid me 350 pounds to break the link to it.

Edit: Here, I found it:

Evo Evening:

Yay, I missed this earlier. Thank you zoob!

 

[GeorginaS]

Smoke and Mirrors is gorgeous, Zoobyshoe. It's magical.

 

[DanP]

You are quite talented. You should consider trying to make some money from your art IMO.
Get a small expo or something going on.

Don't doooo eet!

 

[DanP]

Don't doooo eet!

Donno man, I would pay for a piece like the "Evo Evening". I really like it.

 

[DaveC426913]

Donno man, I would pay for a piece like the "Evo Evening". I really like it.

Certainly, good for you and me. I was thinking of Zoob's sanity.

 

[MotoH]

Trippy good stuff man. Trippy good.

 

[DaveC426913]

Evo Evening:

Hmph. I don't see the resemblance.

 

[waht]

The rendering of the face that is blowing the fruitlike smoke is absolutely brilliant. She is a confident and mature woman. While the embedded face in smoke is her reflection when she was young and struggling (void of dark-blue background), but she was always happy because she was protected by a bubble that shielded her.

That's just my two cents. I'm sure everyone has a different interpretation.

 

[DanP]

Yeah, that's the beauty of it. A piece of art "speaks" different things to different ppl.
I think its great.

Glad you like it, waht. The stories and interpretations that occur to people in reaction to these drawings are often extremely interesting.

Dave, I don't know what you're on about. How would selling them put my sanity at risk?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Trippy good stuff man. Trippy good.

Thanks much Mr. Moto!

 

[DaveC426913]

Thanks DanP!

Dave, I don't know what you're on about. How would selling them put my sanity at risk?

Just my opinion. If I put my artwork on the line by trying to make money doing it, I fear it would become a drag and destroy the joy I get from doing it.

I interpreted this

as 'start doing art for money', as opposed to simply 'put a price tag on existing pieces'.

Don't worry. I turn down commissions all the time for things I have no interest in doing. People ask me to design tattoos, logos, and to draw their girlfriends from snapshots. Such 'art for money' projects would be joyless, as you suspect. On the other hand I'm not adverse to exhibiting and selling the stuff I already do anyway.

 

[GeorginaS]

I am now the proud owner of two Zoobyshoes! I'm so excited. I can't wait to get them home.

Edited to add: erm two Zoobyshoe art pieces, not Zobbyshoe the person.

Whew, Georgina, you gave me a scare...I don't think Zoobies are domesticable!

 

[Math Is Hard]

It's illegal to own them in the U.S. but I guess the laws are different in Canada.

All of the laws are different in Canada. Including gravity. You should see!

To me, she is inhaling. Reminds me of the '70s.

 

[GeorginaS]

Sorry to keep bragging, but Zoobies in the house!

 

[lisab]

Looks great, Georgina!

 

[Math Is Hard]

Very cool!

 

[GeorginaS]

Thank you LisaB and MIH! I was really thrilled to find out that we can order prints of the wonderful portraits in this thread. I need to decide which others I'd also like to have.

 

[dlgoff]

Those would be the ones I would like to have, with maybe an "Evo Evening" in there. Very nice GeorginaS.

I keep looking at the wall thinking it could easily stand -- and look really spiffy with -- two more. I think so. They're really compelling and keep catching my eye.

 

[DaveC426913]

The important question is: that door, does lead to the bathroom in which I will be shaving them legs?

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

I was really thrilled to find out that we can order prints of the wonderful portraits in this thread.

Do they come signed? As soon as I have a new car I need to furnish and decorate my place. A genuine Zoob over the.. uh.. tv? might be a good addition.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Thanks for posting the pic, Georgina. Your choice of frames is exactly how I frame those particular pieces: plain black trim. I'm glad you're happy with the prints. I really didn't know what kind of job they do on them.

(My computer is not working so I haven't been posting. Am having to use the pay computers at La Souris Perdue, so I must limit my time online.)

 

[GeorginaS]

Dave: What makes you think that door leads to a bathroom? Hmmmm? (And I haven't forgotten my search for that experiment reference. It's still bothering me. I'll find it.)

SA: The wonders of modern technology. Now artists can share prints of their work without the huge capital outlay of having to arrange for giant print-runs. So Zoobyshoe has the images uploaded to a site that does the printing in the quantities the buyer asks for, including doing just one or two. The prices are extraordinarily reasonable. The print quality is excellent on thick Kodak paper with a nice finish. They do a really good job. However, the prints go directly from the printer to the customer, so Zoobyshoe couldn't sign it personally unless it shipped to him first and then to you. The original work is signed but not the subsequent print.

And so, yes, Zoobyshoe, your choice of site is excellent. They do everything right. I'm assuming that people can message you if they'd like more details?

 

[turbo]

Happy Birthday, Zoobie! Hope it's a good one. You have to share it with MIH and my crazy Aunt.

 

[danago]

It isn't often i'll go through every single page of a 22 page thread (especially when i have exams coming up that i should be studying for haha)...but it was totally worth it! Thanks very much for sharing your work, looking forward to seeing more in the future

 

[Dembadon]

Happy Birthday, Zoob! You're an important ingredient in this community. I wish you a year of fulfillment and exceeded expectations.

 

[DaveC426913]

Dave: What makes you think that door leads to a bathroom? Hmmmm?

Maybe I've got my scope at the wrong angle. I'll try another rooftop.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yes indeed!

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I celebrated by having another tooth extracted, so now I'm a bit fuzzy on vicoden. Hope to have my computer fixed soon.

 

[DaveC426913]

...having another tooth extracted...Hope to have my computer fixed soon.

Are these related? If so, you're doing something wrong.

Ba. Zinga.

 

[KrisOhn]

Zoobyshoe, is it possible to order prints of your artwork?

Edit: Just found the answer.

Yes, but I am not sure if putting the link right here would violate any PF anti-spam regulations or not.
