Do you drop a line to your favorite artist and say "make me a painting" and you get what you get or is it more of an organic process that both you and the artist are involved with? Just wondering like......

Commissioned piece's, by ashman on Apr 14, 2008 11:14:16 GMT 1, When I was speaking to Martin Whatson about commissions.
I detailed my idea, he said if he could do it. then we kinda bounced ideas off each other, I sent him a deposit, he sent me a sketch. And took it from there.

Yes, but much more importantly The Sex Pistols, then PIL.

Commissioned piece's, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 14, 2008 16:41:17 GMT 1, My limited experience so far, is based on discussing the possibility and not having actually received any!! But I still thought it pertinent as it seems to be yet a different approach. The artist explained that he'd ask which of his works we most connected with and what it was we most liked about those pieces and try to home in on what it is that would most appeal to us (us being the wife and I). He'd also ask for a guideline on budget, if that were an issue and size of the piece, which are of course very interconnected values. I will, at some point be orderring a commission from this guy, but it will have to wait until some expensive exploits (trip with family to London) are finished and we know if there's anything left in the bank!!
I simply emailed this artist, asking if there were prints of his around, as I didn't think we would be able to afford his originals. He wrote back with a suggestion of something personalised, perhaps in a small sze, to keep costs down. It went on from there.... I'm excited about more dealings in the future!

i have a commissioned piece on the way ;D

Commissioned piece's, by RetroCanvas on Apr 14, 2008 22:16:59 GMT 1, I did about 50 commissions in 2006 and about 30 in 2007. They were all done by the commissioner stating what they wanted to start with..
Size
Any specific colours
Subject
Included photo's
I then design a few pieces to start the ball rolling. Things get changed about until the perfect piece is designed. Then I paint.
Simple
Most of the art on my site is commissions at the mo if you want to take a look.

Commissioned piece's, by lee3 on Apr 14, 2008 23:47:03 GMT 1, We've ordered 2 commissions and they were 2 of the most enjoyable art experiences we've had to date. We got a Mel Ramos canvas a few years ago and got to go to a couple lunches with him and tour his studio. Mel was so nice and told us amazing stories of he and Wayne Thiebaud rolling up canvases in the early 60's and driving to NY from CA with them in the trunk looking to find an east coast dealer. Those canvases are worth 10s of millions today. Our painting came out beautifully and we gave very little direction.
Our second piece was from the master, David Choe himself and the only request I had was that it have a whale in it somewhere. We approached him about a year ago and picked up the painting yesterday. We got to spend a few hours with him at his studio and grab lunch. DC couldn't have been nicer and was incredibly humble considering his remarkable talent. We got to watch him paint, draw, and do a little watercolor and I'm still floored thinking about it.
I feel it is a true honor to be welcomed into an artist's studio and my wife and i both will cherish those memories for as long as we live. We were delighted to take this as of yet untitled painting home yesterday...
