Many thanks to forum members, by Michael Jacob on Jan 7, 2009 15:01:41 GMT 1, I just wanted to thanks the many forum members who have supported me. My Obama piece is being shown at the upcoming Manifest Hope in DC during the Inauguration. Im hoping to rub elbows with Shep! This piece is also being shown and mentioned in an upcoming NYC magazine. None of this would have happened without the forum.
Im getting ready to do a website, and have a series of things Im working on. Im in talks with a few galleries to see if I can show it all at once. While I originally got started with a focus on urban art, now that Ive been doing it, contemporary seems more my style.
Ive been on this forum for a few years, and its you guys (and gals) who got me started. Ive got high hopes ahead, but I assure you that none of this would have happened without your support (and critiques).
Thanks!
CJ

Many thanks to forum members, by Michael Jacob on Jan 7, 2009 15:43:23 GMT 1, thanks everyone. yes it is the white spot one. I had to have it there yesterday as Obamas transitional staff was having a private viewing of some of the artwork. My hope is one of them bought it and it will hang in the white house! I framed it in maple and floated mounted it. It looked great.

Yup, it's called droit de suite, the artist recieves between 3-5% of the sale price,(only at auction / dealers) not a bad little earner for you there mate, anyway, good luck for the future jake, keep us informed.

Please forgive me if I sell my copy to pay off the mortgage.
