I painted that from like 9PM last night to 7AM this morning. I'm SO freaking tired. I can't tell if she's done - let me know if you have any ideasssss or critiques. I had to make one super fast - the gallery decided they don't want to show the same pieces twice any more.


A little wonky eyed -

Good stuff. The first one reminds me of Audrey Kawasaki for the wood grain background. Intense!

Hahaha I'm trying to make it look like I'm not stealing her style - but it's just so much fun painting on something that already has a texture and tone to it!

No way! You totally get a discount - you're so awesome for donating to Tygue! Just let me know if you ever come up with any ideas for a commission - or check out www.myspace.com/wispygypsy where all my art is up!

I really like this one:
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=195877048&albumID=464913&imageID=28328428

How much for that one?

but am also considering ideas for a commission. humm humm hummmm. I really love your dancer drawings because of the way you outline their bodies, indiviudally they're just random blobs of ink, but they come together to form a person... it's wonderful!

Heya! I usually charge $100 + s&h [$15 in the USA], but I'd give it to you for $75 + s&h. I really doubt shipping would be like $50, right? If so, I'll knock of a ton of that $$$ too.

Shoot I don't know how much shipping would be to you in Australia.

Sorry shipping is so expensive. It actually covers professional packaging, insurance, etc. I don't profit off of it - that's how much it costs. I tried packaging it myself for a while and some paintings ended up completely ruined.

Let me know what you think!

Oh, ok. That's a little more than I can afford to spend on a painting right now. I don't mean any offense by that - your art is totally worth that amount, I'm not saying you charge too much! Haha I'm just used to the small-town artists here charging, like, $10 for a picture :P But you are a pro and extremely talented. Anyway, yeah, I'm not really loaded at the moment and desperately need a new computer and my phone is threatening to die, so I may have to pass this time - but when I can afford it, honey, I will totally buy something from you. Oh and thanks sooo much for the offer of the discount! That is really sweet of you, you didn't have to do that at all. Thanks so much. :) *hugs* Sorry I can't afford it right now. I hope you sell lots and lots to other people though! I wish I could help support you. :)

Dude - I don't know if this is low enough - but I SO appreciate your donation - I can totally lower it to $25 + shipping and handling.


I don't know how much shipping and handling is but we can work that out.

Oh, honey... I can't do that! That is such a big reduction... I would feel like I was ripping you off. You can't just go basically giving your beautiful art away to any Aussie hick who gives your hot friend ten bucks!! That should really only get me ten bucks off, and really I don't want you to go taking that off anyway.

Tell you what. The favour you can do for me is put that piece aside for me, how does that sound? Next semester I'll be back on government allowance and getting a scholarship (and who knows, maybe our dollar will buy more US cents too) and I will buy your beautiful piece at a PROPER price.

Let me know if that's not doable - or if you need the money, I could totally pay it in installments. Whatever works for you!

You're a total sweetheart. I will sell it to you for whatever you'd like to pay - $50, $25, $75. Whatever's best!
I'll definitely put it aside for you!



[we'll just have to find out how much shipping will be - it could be like $18-20-30!]

Okay :) I might start putting some money aside each week now, and then it won't seem like as much later :)

I live in Tasmania, so if you tell the post office what kind of shipping you need for it and that it's coming here, they should be able to tell you how much it costs, right?

I doubt the people at your post office would know - only because the package I'd be sending is SO irregularly shaped. It'd be a very flat broad thin package. If it was just a simple box, it'd cost a lot less.

You're so kind to support an artist!

Honey I'm an artist too, just a different kind ^_^ so I understand completely. and also I am completely in love with artists. all of them. always. especially you.

But wouldn't the people at YOUR post office know? They'd have to be able to tell you?
