commissions?

Posted by sucho Jun. 11, 2009 @ 6:36 PM EDT

my affair with being a pretentious artfag that-is-unable-to-put-a-price-on-print s has quickly waned.

does anyone here make commissions? what of, and how did you figure out pricing? i'm wondering if i might be able to do them. perhaps not now, a month from my busiest event of the year, but i'm unemployed and i don't make a dime off the art i do.

so, i'd appreciate some serious advice on that. THANKS.

current gallery in case you don't know who the hell i am. HECK

cuz if nobody helps me now, i'm going to have to move in with a preening fag in Te-jas for monetary sustenance.

plz help

i think you should do it, for you are TEH ZEX


Jun. 11, 2009 | 11:23 PM sucho says:

this is a highly detailed comment with lots of genuine thought put into it, but ultimately says very little useful information.

NO MAN U SUX MAH PE-N0RR!!1 8=====> U:


Jun. 12, 2009 | 3:42 AM Captain-Ben says:

well i generally price my art pretty cheap, but some people can get away with murder

Generally price depends on how much work you put into it, and how much effort/cost it is to create the prints.

If it's an original work that's one of a kind feel free to jack the price up a bit

Jun. 12, 2009 | 3:44 AM sucho responds:

define cheap. i have absolutely no concept of commission prices.

original as in not-a-print? unfortunately i wont have that luxury cuz digital is all i'm capable of if somebody wants COLOUR.


Jun. 12, 2009 | 3:54 AM Captain-Ben says:

yeah by original i mean not a print.

Well in my store i price my stencil prints based off of size and layers (time spent), small ones are around 5-10$, medium is 25-30$, large ones around 50$

But those are usually limited runs, i only make maybe 10 prints of a stencil at a time. It's much easier to make new prints of digital works, so take that into consideration when pricing.

Also i've been told i don't charge enough for my prints, which is why i said i sell mine for pretty cheap XD

Jun. 12, 2009 | 4:05 AM sucho responds:

how do you sell on the interwebs? oh, and many thanks.


Jun. 12, 2009 | 4:08 AM Captain-Ben says:

well i have an account on etsy.com. There's a small fee to put things in the store, but it's fairly cheap.

I'm thinking of getting rid of my store though, it doesn't really get any play, haven't sold anything on it. So i'm still trying to find a good way to sell stuff on the net to.

Check etsy out though you might have better luck than me, and just cruise the intranet for anywhere that will let you open up shop

Jun. 12, 2009 | 4:12 AM sucho responds:

i was 'sposed to make an etsy account before the summer but i never did. they sell prints? i thought it was only tangible items. oh well. mebbe after the summer


Jun. 12, 2009 | 4:17 AM Captain-Ben says:

Well you can list whatever the hell you want on there, they won't make the prints for you though. But you can run to a kinko's or some copying place and get high quality prints made for fairly cheap.

Jun. 12, 2009 | 4:44 AM sucho responds:

mmmm... kinky-o's.


Jun. 19, 2009 | 12:36 PM JoeTheToucan says:

You'd get plenty of income selling yiffer stuff, there's a huge market for that I believe.

Although you'd be a tit.

Jun. 19, 2009 | 1:44 PM sucho responds:

i don't wants to be a tit :(

i can't wait to sell out really, but i thought it would be through awful sci fi movies and pictures of star trek nerds with the bodies of adonnis making out with uhura. the original one.


Jun. 20, 2009 | 11:15 PM Theo-art says:

Well I have the upmost confidence in your abilities as an artist! I find it hard to believe no one would commission you, your style and skill surpass many college graduates (the gay ones, anyway).

I'd commission you if I had the money, or the desire to talk to you long enough to ask for one.

I hope you accept my tough love.

Jun. 20, 2009 | 11:32 PM sucho responds:

golly that is tough, apparently i'm hard to talk to..?


Jun. 21, 2009 | 12:29 PM Theo-art says:

nu :(

I thought if everyone else could joke, I could too

GUESS NOT

Jun. 21, 2009 | 1:47 PM sucho responds:

tragedy is the greatest joke of all!! AHAHAHA.


Jun. 21, 2009 | 4:34 PM Theo-art says:

I gave you herpes

Jun. 21, 2009 | 6:33 PM sucho responds:

now everybody is happy.


Jun. 23, 2009 | 1:02 AM Captain-Ben says:

>:D

Jun. 23, 2009 | 11:19 PM Savory says:

If my lazy ass can make money doing it, I think you'll be fine. Though I dunno about making a ton of money.... Try getting some large prints done and maybe you can sell it to a coffee shop. I always wanted to try that.

Jun. 24, 2009 | 12:04 AM sucho responds:

thats a good idea..... now i just need to make art that doesn't have willies and tits in it.


Jun. 29, 2009 | 3:19 AM Captain-Ben says:

But the willies and tits are the selling point!

I had posters made and everything D:

Jun. 29, 2009 | 12:12 PM sucho responds:

SO CONFLICTED


Jun. 30, 2009 | 10:36 AM JoeTheToucan says:

Do you really have a pet turtle?

Jun. 30, 2009 | 5:23 PM sucho responds:

yes, and SHE LOVES ME AND WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME

*turtle desperately tries to scale aquarium walls and escape*


Jul. 3, 2009 | 5:48 AM JoeTheToucan says:

I'm going to eat it

Jul. 3, 2009 | 11:15 AM sucho responds:

she could so scale your insides and escape. or tunnel.


Jul. 3, 2009 | 1:35 PM JoeTheToucan says:

I'll chew her up first as I do with anything I intend to ingest.

Jul. 3, 2009 | 2:39 PM sucho responds:

this conversation is making me blue


Jul. 3, 2009 | 9:08 PM Captain-Ben says:

i want a pet turtle :C

Or maybe just a really tiny dog that i could also keep in an aquarium

Jul. 3, 2009 | 11:18 PM sucho responds:

hmmm... i don't quite see that panning out...as anything other than AWESOME!


Jul. 4, 2009 | 12:32 PM JoeTheToucan says:

...If I wasn't going to eat that as well


Jul. 4, 2009 | 2:06 PM Captain-Ben says:

Maybe the tiny dog would learn to adapt and grow gills, and get webbed paws.

I don't see how this could possibly go wrong!

Jul. 4, 2009 | 2:10 PM sucho responds:

I KNOW RIGHT??

can you imagine the tv show they could make with a dog like that? what with the success Flipper and Lassie had......


Jul. 4, 2009 | 3:23 PM Captain-Ben says:

I'd have Seaworld eating out of my asshole

Jul. 4, 2009 | 3:39 PM sucho responds:

i just pictured all of those little suckerfish that stick to big fish and lick parasites all day, on your...


Jul. 4, 2009 | 5:14 PM Captain-Ben says:

sounds peachy

Jul. 4, 2009 | 7:56 PM sucho responds:

sounds fishy.

also i do wanna say comgratzulayshuns on getting modded. had it been in my hands, you would have been at the top of the very short list to get it as well.

Jul. 5, 2009 | 1:25 PM sucho responds:

Jul. 5, 2009 | 3:25 PM JoeTheToucan says:

Jul. 5, 2009 | 3:32 PM sucho responds:

HE LOVES EVERYONE.

Jul. 5, 2009 | 3:39 PM JoeTheToucan says:

You fucking love me and only me more than your miserable fucking life.

Jul. 5, 2009 | 4:27 PM sucho responds:
