I think I will begin selling T-shirts and Prints of my art in a month or so as soon as I get my website up and running.
I finished Michelangelo says last night... and I can't stop looing at it. I'm very proud of it. I've said many many times that drawing and painting is probably the most gratifying of the arts (although sometimes the guitar reaches new heights of euphoria nirvana). I can look at a work over and over and only feel stonger about it, where with screen writing, if I read it over a certain amount of times in a certain period of time I really want to hit myself with a sledge hammer.
The new post-depression song I wrote goes something like this...
"You protect the green, I'll protect the blue. You protect me, I'll protect you.
You get what you give, and you give what you make, you take what you need, never too much, and now it's all good.
You protect the green, I'll protect the blue, you protect me, I'll protect you."
Hatrack has a long history of bashing my lyrics so fire away my wonderful Hatrack family!!!

Thor, you've probably already talked about this somewhere else, but I missed it. What's your medium? Is it all paint? Oil? Acrylic? I'm curious, cause I like your stuff a lot and I can't figure out how you get those effects. These last three are really good!

I have a habit of starting with pencils and then I'll ink in an outline, and then from their it's wide open, I may use markers, water colors or pastels, or I may paint it in photoshop and then blast out the colors with one, two or three of their many filters.

One day I'd like to try to paint in acrylics or oils, but the paints are too expensive.
I'm one day closer to having my T-shirts ready, that is exciting.

Thor, that's cool. I never would have guessed!! Michelangelo Says seems like it HAS to be done with thick gloppy paint. I love it!! (and I love photoshop too!!)
So how much of your work is strictly digital? Does all of it start out as hand drawings and then you scan it or is some of it originated in graphics programs?

As I've said before, Thor, I'm interested in buying prints, but only if they're quality reproductions; I'm willing to pay a fair bit of money -- midway into the three digit range, I'd say -- but wouldn't go over $15 for an 8x11" inkjet printout. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

Thor, do you have the link to some of your other stuff? I'm too lazy to look and there are some newer jatraqueros that weren't here for the Leto/Thor battle. There was some really good stuff there too...

Never mind. I found it. Here is some more of Thor's stuff. One of my favorites is "Energy Moves".

Dude, get your site up and I'm there. I'd definitely buy prints of some of your work. I am with Tom though about pricing. I'd pay triple digits for a high quality print of "The from Heaven jump", but it would have to be way better than an inkjet job.
By the way, "No Battle Relief" is my favorite of these three, though I think a T-shirt of "Michelangelo says" would be pretty cool.
