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.

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

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:

Deco Nocturne is very happy.

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

Here's a crooked smile for Dave and SA:

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":

Yay, I missed this earlier. Thank you zoob!
 
Smoke and Mirrors is gorgeous, Zoobyshoe. It's magical.
 
You are quite talented. You should consider trying to make some money from your art IMO.
Get a small expo or something going on.

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.
 
Trippy good stuff man. Trippy good.

Hmph. I don't see the resemblance.
 
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.

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, what. 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?

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

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!

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! :biggrin:

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