Bleh. Hello. So, turns out trying to find a new job is so totally a job. What a scam.
Anyway, yeah hi. Currently trying to plan a move out of my current employment and into something new, it's a big crazy project that could potentially see me in another city, depending on what lines up. Crazy times.
Meanwhile, besides that whole thing that's occupying my life, I'm still thinking about this whole painting series/fundraiser idea, as it would really be nice to get some new work done at the same time as build up a little extra cash, so please do let me know if you're:
a) still into the idea
b) into it now, even if you weren't before
c) would likely be into it if you had some sort of more specific info.
The basic concept, for those not willing to click, would be me announcing the self-descriptive titles of, let's say, 25 paintings, all at the same dimensions and price (probably $125 for a 5"x7"), and people would put dibs and pre-commission them (for themselves or as gifts, whatever) based on the titles, and then I'd make them as they were claimed and track the progress of the sales and final pieces.
It's something I find interesting as a catalyst to getting a whole bunch of work done without having to make a bunch of pieces and then try to convince people to buy them while keeping it sort of fun and interesting for those involved and those following it (and thinking about jumping on any unclaimed pieces).
I'd basically want to know that I had the interest in advance of about 50% of the people who would be claiming pieces before I committed to the whole idea...so let me know if you'd be willing to commit to buying some arty-type stuff in the near future.
For those generally curious, the themes would likely include robots, cowboys, monsters, videogames, superheroes and possibly fuzzy animals (or a potential combination of some of the above). Shocking thematic diversions, I know.
-Soooo, let me know, okthanksbye.
