hey there.

again, i missed a lot of events since the last journal update. belated happy new year & happy easter.
i also finally finished work on a term paper for university about pictures and their according mode of consciousness (you dont see pictures as pictures unless you are conscious of them being a picture - if you ever got scared by mistaking a poster or something for real, you know what im talking about ). it weighed in at a whopping 35 pages, including all the academic formalia stuff they make you type.


anyway, why im updating this is to get some feedback from the few people who stumble by and read this:
the issue is PRINTS & COMMISSIONS
in other terms: imagery for sale

im toying with the thought of making prints available. since my digital stuff usually is done at rather medium resolutions, the majority of available stuff will be the scanned drawings. maybe having 1:1 size prints of those things is appealing for some people. the flyer images can be printed in their original size, too, and other than that - i could try working in higher resolutions in the future.

regarding commissions, i thought about ~a5 size pencil sketches. see my sketchbook gallery for a rough guideline.
prices would vary a bit with mileage, but i guess them to be something around EUR 10 for germany, EUR 11/12ish for europe and something around USD 17/EUR 13 for international customers.

right now, im all about trying to get a feel if there even is some interest.


books:
i bought ashley woods worldwar robot illustrated vol. 1 and its great. and cheap.
i also picked up a book called h-point by stuart macey and geoff wardle. its about car design. card design for certain roles, that is. it does a really good job at acquainting newbies with the kinds of decisions that all go into designing a car package: how much storage space, how many seats, how much emphasis on luxury/comfort or pure performance, what kind of engine for what kind of situation blah blah blah... it all sounds like being interesting for car nuts only, but i feel it reminded me of how much storytelling potential there is in props, vehicles and basically everything we paint. good book.
i also bought james jeans collected fables covers which are made of pure win, genius and soybean-shaped purring kitties from cuteness heaven.
im waiting for the two volumes of collected walt stanchfield lectures he held at disney right now. they should arrive any day...


DONT FORGET LEAVING SOME FEEDBACK REGARDING PRINTS/COMMISSIONS PLZ!
