Why hasn't this guy donned all black and put this piece for sale in a swanky gallery for $1mil? It's the perfect blend of art and social commentary, and beautiful to boot!
- dougmccune 10y agoIf you come pick it up it can be yours for the low low price of a cool half mil. But seriously, I'm just dipping my toes into this whole artist thing, I definitely don't know how to navigate the gallery/sales world. Right now I just like making shit, maybe one day I'll try to make some money doing it.
- ethanbond 10y agoWatch Exit Through the Gift Shop and be inspired, or disgusted, then wealthy! This is awesome work, really cool concept and fantastic execution.
- iaw 10y agoDoug, set up a shop with your designs for sale.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoAnd if you don't want to (because you'd rather be making art than websites, say), then ask. There are a metric truckload of people here who could do one for you...
- dougmccune 10y agoThanks for the suggestion. It's not the website aspect of selling stuff that's the blocker. It's more the figuring out how to do pricing, shipping, networking in the art world, etc. And I'm still working up the self confidence to be able to call myself an artist with a straight face and say it confidently enough to ask for money and get someone to write a check.
- peteretep 10y agoSounds like an agent
- mbesto 10y ago90% of artistic value is simply saying the art has value. Tell people you've had several offers for $100k and you can probably find someone offering $101k for it.
- dougmccune 10y agoI've had several offers for $100,000. I'd certainly consider your offer if you can beat that. Paypal my email address :)
- mbesto 10y agoI like your attitude :)
