Title: Calling all arty peoples!
Post by: nekowafer on 19 May 2014, 18:38
I am in the process of decorating my new apartment. I'd love to have some art done by people I know - like you!

My theme is mostly dark purple and gray, modern, with creepy old medical stuff, and of course cats and ferrets.

I was thinking that I could buy a couple postcard-size pieces of art from people here, and put them into a collage type frame in my apartment.

Thoughts? Ideas? Comments? Stuff?

When you say creepy old medical stuff?  What kind?  What era?  Just looking for some specifics.

I'd love to make something for you! Got the time now to be creative again. This links to some of my art stuff, (http://weludixon.tumblr.com/tagged/weludraws/) maybe see if you like anything or get inspiration.

Blyss: 1800s and earlier, for sure. Stuff like lobotomy tools, trepanning tools, and torture devices. The only item I have right now is a Phrenology bust, but I want more interesting and creepy stuff. Especially if it has to do with the brain and mental health (or lack thereof). But I will accept and appreciate anything you'd like to sell me.

Welu: I love the Wut Bunny and Cressida pictures especially, but I just love your style in general.

Tattooed and pierced people, faeries, cats, ferrets, and other pretty things would be good too! My favorite artists are H. R. Giger and Jhonen Vasquez, if that helps. And I think the pics should be 4" x 6" or larger. The paper it's on can be bigger, as I can cut down (or just get a bigger frame) just make sure to include your signature where I can see it. And put your info on the back so years from now, I can look at them and be reminded of the awesomeness of each of you :)

Whenever you're ready to buy supplies, just give me your paypal and I'll send whatever you need (within reason of course) and the postage needed from wherever you are.

Thank you! I work digitally so don't worry much about money for me. I can just send you the large version and you can print it however you like, if you can. If not my brother works in a printing shop so I can get decent prints for cheap.

I can definitely print stuff here. And that way I can have a digital copy, should anything ever happen to the physical copy.
Title: Re: Calling all arty peoples!
Post by: Blyss on 22 May 2014, 08:18
Yeah - I'll be working in digital as well - easier and costs less - and you don't need to pay me anything for whatever I do.  I'll be doing it A. Because I find it interesting, and B. I like to stay in practice with different techniques.  :)

I never responded to this, I'm sorry! Yay for digital :D

Does anyone else want to contribute? Again, I'll pay for stuff, you just have to do the making. I really want something I can look at and say, that was made for me, by my friends.

Then ... I need your adress.

I realise that's a bit of a leap of faith, so ...

J, I like your drawing style! Especially on the first page, the people with gas masks and the one in a short skirt with crazy hair.

Beo, I sent you a message!
Title: Re: Calling all arty peoples!
Post by: J on 06 Jun 2014, 07:44
heh, the gas mask girls were actually done years ago via an online toy called scribbler (http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/). you do a little sketch into it, the it takes your line drawing and awesomes it up foryou.

they're based on the comic surface (http://comicjams.net/surface), which i contributed two pages to.

Sorry for the wait, guys, I got sick and ignored everything and then forgot about this thread!

Little cheese, I like these two especially:

And Blyss, I like that a lot! Would you be able to e-mail me a high quality file so I can get it printed all fancy like?

Also, I got the piece from BeoPuppy - a ferret! It's ridiculously adorable and I promise to put up a pic when I get home.

Hmm.  I *do* have a fairly large number of photographs (various stuff) that have print-worthy digital copies sitting around on my HDD.

Eh, with hindsight I should have done more. Gotta fly in with a black marker, is what I'm saying.

Then you'll have a real life model too! But I love it just as it is. I can't wait to get all my art hung up.
