Looking For Exposure...

good morning tommy really liking the texture ,colors & feeling of this image.be aware that crop lines or images that are not crisp will have a hard time passing the printing department...

you should never depend on other people's copyrights or artwork to sell your own things. create your own vision. this path will only lead you into trouble in the future.


you mixed up the tags with the descriptions. this is rather dark and should be scanned in. this version is also blurry and chunky due to compression.


you must buy a scanner, this will not only never print, no one will buy it because even the small version has compression and noise issues. the work may be a tough sell, its all depressing. i'm not sure who your market will be.

your bio is far too wordy, just keep it simple and tell us what you make.

overall you don't have a single image that will print, all of it from what i can tell is soft, noisy, blocky, grainy, too small, pixelated, etc - they won't print it. they won't buy it for the same reasons. once clear, scanned and nice looking, your market will be hard to find because most of these are either fear or crying based, and i'm not sure who the right market is. maybe a shrink? to get people to feel worse so they stay longer? i dunno.

The main problem with offering variations of pop culture icons is that you'll never become known as a individual. Pop culture fan art sells all the time but the artist behind it is not the draw. Hard to make a long term career out of it.

unless you can create that pop culture icon, but that takes a lot of work. and its hard to do, and that's the reason why others leach off of other people's success.

Creativity cannot be learned. It is an innate quality that only a handful possess. Be happy with what God gave you and use it wisely.

I appreciate everyone taking time to comment. Some of the super hero stuff are items I did for class projects that I felt were sell worthy, it is not what I am intending to make the subject matter of all my pieces. Every once in a while perhaps because I enjoy doing them. The pastels I did while I was bed bound after several surgeries... Perhaps why a lot of them seem sad. And you are correct the image quality is poor, but that's all I had to work with at the time with no monitory means to purchase high qaility imaging equipment or even pay to have it done for me. I am still searching for my niche as what defines my style, and that is becoming more evident as I learn and my education progresses. I suppose I will revamp what is on the site as I am in the process of several new concepts and working pieces. Thanks again.

scanners aren't that much, and if your work is flat, almost any scanner will work. sad things can sell, but it would be hard i would image finding the person. though i suppose if you looked up depression on twitter and joined them, (maybe they would be happy?), they may need that kind of work. but the scanning in is important.
