I think I just gave myself a boner with that sentence.... <blockquote><cite>C.winter said:</cite> how much approximately would you be selling them for?</blockquote> I have absolutely no idea - don't know how I would get them to people either - guess I would have to take the canvas off the frame and roll it up - plus collapse the frame and send the whole lot that way. Could be done I guess <blockquote><cite>nopixel said:</cite> that's pretty good, you should keep them comin in diferent sizes also!</blockquote> Yeah, think I might do a slightly smaller one next time - this is a big bugger, about 1.5m square <blockquote><cite>Shrimp Sauce said:</cite> you should do it in acrylic and build the paint up heavy.</blockquote> Acrylics are my next weapon of choice. The coverage with these markers is really good - the flash on the camera makes it appear more uneven than it really is 87311 Post 2009-10-11T20:22:22-04:00 2814491 2734 2009-10-11T20:22:22-04:00 jesus christ those colors are vibrant. awesome! 87311 Post 2009-10-11T20:23:22-04:00 2814511 9208 2009-10-11T20:23:22-04:00 looks really good. 87311 Post 2009-10-11T20:24:34-04:00 2814521 5707 2009-10-11T20:24:34-04:00 <blockquote><cite>D E M said:</cite> I have absolutely no idea - don't know how I would get them to people either - guess I would have to take the canvas off the frame and roll it up - plus collapse the frame and send the whole lot that way.

You could easily ship them in a slim box with some soft packing material to keep it safe. 87311 Post 2009-10-11T20:24:59-04:00 2814531 8948 2009-10-11T20:26:05-04:00 <blockquote><cite>8-bit ZOMBIE said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>D E M said:</cite> I have absolutely no idea - don't know how I would get them to people either - guess I would have to take the canvas off the frame and roll it up - plus collapse the frame and send the whole lot that way.

Dunnow, maybe calculate/estimate the hours, put in a lil percentage of the materials costs (markers, canvas), another percentage of shipping... I'd say you can try and charge between $30-$40 for this one. And o yeah: Looking good! 87311 Post 2009-10-11T22:03:15-04:00 2815201 46601 2009-10-11T22:03:15-04:00 after material costs and production time i'd say <i>atleast</i> $100 for an 18x24. 87311 Post 2009-10-11T22:25:20-04:00 2815301 2861 2009-10-11T22:25:20-04:00 <blockquote><cite>SteveOramA said:</cite> after material costs and production time i'd say <i>atleast</i> $100 for an 18x24.</blockquote> $100 might even be low. You said it took you 5 hours, so you gotta give yourself a good hourly rate. And like the guys above me said, factor in the cost of ALL the materials used to make it, shipping supplies, etc. <blockquote><cite>rawkidrocks said:</cite> I'd say you can try and charge between $30-$40 for this one. </blockquote> 30-40 sounds ridiculously low to me!!! Theres people on here that charge $30.00 for a mass-produced shirt! This is a one of a kind piece of artwork. ;) If I saw that in some boutique, I wouldn't be surprised to see a $200 or $300 price tag on it. 87311 Post 2009-10-11T22:33:32-04:00 2815341 8948 2009-10-11T22:42:02-04:00 That´s great dude. 87311 Post 2009-10-12T04:18:17-04:00 2817501 2879 2009-10-12T04:18:17-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Godmachine said:</cite> whoa- thats lush</blockquote> pretty lush hehehe 87311 Post 2009-10-12T06:20:45-04:00 2818241 33251 2009-10-12T06:20:45-04:00 This is really great! 87311 Post 2009-10-12T07:07:44-04:00 2818391 7093 2009-10-12T07:07:44-04:00 Cheers guys 87311 Post 2009-10-12T13:08:01-04:00 2821411 2734 2009-10-12T13:08:01-04:00
