Faithful 100%
100th post!!!
"Faithful 100%," 4" x 10", intaglio, 2010. Edition of 10, printed on Fabriano Rosapina.
Sometimes, you get lucky and come up with a visually catchy idea, execute it quickly, and you automagically have a new print. That's pretty much what happened here (although it took me a couple of months to actually take the time to edition this one). I don't have a lot to say here, other than that I've been watching a lot of Looney Tunes again, and the title is from one of the lines in "Horton Hatches an Egg."
I was kind of bummed out a couple of days ago - I got an e-mail wanting to buy some of my artwork. Which would be cool, but a little online investigation revealed it was a scam (the way it was written was odd, and didn't really sound like someone who wanted to buy some of my artwork). Sigh. It's not like I'm making a fortune at this, so it's kind of disheartening to have someone basically trying to rip me off. I know that it's not personal, which somehow makes it even shittier. Leave it to the internet to make my day...

What?!? Thank goodness you thought to do a little research and did not get scammed. It is totally unfair to prey on artists - we are vulnerable to the idea someone likes our work. Also - I need to re-visit Horton Hatches an Egg. Strong print... I especially admire the balloons.

The whole tone and language of the letter was weird, so I was skeptical. I know that everyone gets targeted for scams, but I just don't get scamming artists. For one thing, if someone likes a piece of artwork enough to want it, what good is obtaining it through underhanded means? And if they didn't like it, what possible resale value could it have? It's not like my stuff demands any kind of a premium over the prices that I ask, so it seems like a lot of effort to go through to get something to throw on eBay or something and to sell for a pittance. The whole thing is baffling...
