ARTCAST #80 - High Concept Idea

Friday, September 18th, 2014

Hi all, finally made it into the 80's ... In this episode I'm talking about the now vs later, the high concept idea behind a business vs the need to sell art daily.

The Clint Eastwood piece in this video is finally done and up for sale ... Buy The Original Art





Thanks, see you tomorrow
-Jeff

You should totally post the print runs you have sitting in your house on eBay, and anything that you just created should also go up as a print a week later after you sold the original, to catch anyone who was bidding on that piece of original artwork who didnt win it, you're saying "oh no, you didn't win it, that's okay, it sucks that you don't get the original but here you can buy the print" if their still interested in the piece they'll buy the print. And throwing up a buttload of variety prints will also bring in different bidders to your artwork who haven't seen you yet and found you by searching what they were looking for. You have soooo many prints you can list!!! And the nice thing too is you can print them after they have sold so you dont have them sitting around, collecting dust. That and its nice with ebay having the option to hit that relist button! No fuss! Oh and have you backed up all your art because you computer is dying? Anihoo! Tootles... Oh I haven't been responding much because I keep falling asleep half was through your videos DX... I'm so exhausted all the time will my full time job, the only time I have time to watch your videos or listen to them is in bed... And 10 minutes later the ZzZzZz knocked me out cold. But I'm up early on my weekend right now... Damn internal clock... So I was able to catch this full video... Time for more zZzZzZzZz...

I have to agree with a lot of the above. The art is great, people into this style probably wouldn't mind being able to buy a few prints without this turning into a hugely commercial thing.

(One thing though.. in order to sell prints, you'll have to have a pretty darn good photograph setup going.)

to be able draw back over acrylic its the best to atomized paint with airbrush vs making slick layer of plastic acrylic with brush, liquitex paint from tube are the best for mix this media , other trick is to mist thru airbrush (keep dry atomization) matte medium or clear gesso before prismas... hope this help.. nice job keep them coming!

Whao, nicely done. I like the soft coloring of his body versus the details of his face. It really makes his expression 'pop' into focus!

Thanks for the info on tooth Jeff. I wondered if it was because of using unprimed board. I paint with acrylic on occasion and want to try some of this style at some point.

This Eastwood piece is absolutely incredible!
