Would you buy any of these?, by Stender on Mar 31, 2015 22:05:13 GMT 1, Would you buy any of the images on my flickr if they were prints?
Wondering what peoples thoughts are as it isn't cheap to print so thought about crowdsourcing, e.g. if enough people wanted one I print it. Would print on 300gsm paper, 50x70cm 2 layer screen print for example say edition of 40 at ยฃ40 each.

Would be a nice companion piece to Fed's @federationofideas piece.

The tone of your opening post sounds like you'd be interested in feedback too? If so, check out the "my own art amateur" thread, you'll get a lot of help and support there

I suppose you could then do a pre order until you raise enough funds to do your screen print run.
Or maybe cut some stencils and do some original runs on canvas first to raise some funds.

Would you buy any of these?, by sixftjellybaby on Apr 1, 2015 9:09:00 GMT 1, In my view for what it's worth,just bite the bullet and go for it but if you really want to test the water either hand spray a small edition or do a digital print .With a digital print it can still be a edition of 40 but you don't have to get them all printed in one go.From my very limited experience this is quite a common practice for new artists

As for feedback, everyone is different so I'd just do what feels best represents you as an artist. Personally I prefer something that has a concept behind it, things like your bike or credit crunch. Not really a big fan of images of people like the mohican and einstein. Just find them a little hollow. But that's just my personal opinion.

Funny enough Jaytown I am screenprinting the Mohican abe lincoln tomorrow with a gold background and maybe few in another colour :-( I have done that one as an acrylic on canvas too and posted in the amateur section but didn't get much of a response hence was testing the waters with this post. The costs are adding up to do the screenprint but as suggested above I should just go for it and see what happens. Worse case I'll have 40 I can wallpaper the garage with!.
I was also concerned with Giclee printing as I have seen quite a few posts on here where people have expressed a dislike to it and a screen print snobishness :-) Printing a A1 Giclee works out even more expensive than screen.
