Gifts from artists..., by funster on Jun 17, 2008 17:05:47 GMT 1, I was speaking to someone yesterday who had been given a really lovely signed 'Kate' AP and it got me thinking.... has anyone else had any nice gifts from artists? Even at a basic level artists doodling in a book etc is a gift so there must be lots out there somewhere - and they don't have to be worth money either, just something that means something to you. Would be good to see

anyway after a few emails he only had 1 copy of his book left, but one page, he said was more grey than black, so offered it at 1/2 price, but it was only ยฃ10 so i told him not to be daft and ill pay full price for it, as i was really impressed with his work, anyway the 1st page has a been sketched, signed with a wee bit of colour added, so was very happy

Gifts from artists..., by atomone on Jun 17, 2008 20:11:55 GMT 1, I crashed my mountain bike years ago and wrecked my arm with a multitude of grazes, at that time D*Face was working at the company I used to work for as a designer, so he got an A6 Jiffy Bag, cut one end off and drew a one off character in markers and gave it me as a temporary plastercast type gimmick! so glad I kept it when I left the company 3 years ago, still lovin' it!

Sent me a sketch, CDs with his work, and a couple magnets after talking to him at length. He also gave me (for a wedding present) free Fed Ex crate shipping on a 5' x 3.5' canvas (I thought that was rather nice) and also wrote something about my wife and I "dancing hand in hand into infinity", or something. Great guy.
