Just Ordered My First Artwork From Fellow Faa Artist The Digital!

The Digital has offered and made a portrait of me from a photograph I submitted on his request, he did this on his own and in no time, I was totally taken by this piece of art. The Digital is a very talented portrait artist. I will be very happy to hang this metal print on my wall and then pass it on to my loved ones, that's why I went with metal, it's gonna be some time before that happens, I'm hoping anyway.

Mario, you should try to get the original. This is fabulous.

Patricia, it really is amazing how he captured the expression, I should ask him about the original. I admire portrait artist, I find it amazing in that I can not do human faces in my sculpture as it's so challenging with the medium unless one makes a mold and does casting which I don't.

I just want it because when your more famous I won't be able to afford it. Lol You let me know. Small is fine, that way shipping would be affordable for your far far far away undisclosed galaxy! Lol

I just right now went to the mail box and guess what came? Your Book! I'm going thru it right now and 'm loving it!!!! What a double treat the day is turning out to be. I ordered the soft cover book because I wanted to see the quality of print, and it's totally first class all throughout the book, it's so much better seeing your art in person than on the computer screen.

Thanks Michelle and everyone, this was the only picture I have of that time period, actually the only picture that exists of me in uniform that's why this painting is so special to me.

The Digital, how can i send you my picture? can i e-mail it to you ?

Thank you Michelle, I'm retired from police work now, that was in the 1980's, a really rough but incredible time in history to be a young policemen in Miami, we had the cocaine cowboys, the Mariel boat lift, and the Miami River Cops, talk about ACTION! It was amazing, but I'm happy it's in the past, I would not want to be a policeman today.

I'm thinking the "digital" should do a self-portrait (above the shoulders) and use it as an avatar. Might be good advertising for the painting skills.

Your welcome Erica, I truly enjoyed my service in those days! Greg, no no, The Digital Must remain anonymous and elusive, it is the allure of the unknown that makes this artist's persona so interesting.

Congrats Digital!, who's next?

Nicht schlecht! Vielleicht nochmal was mit den Augen probieren...der Blick ist stechend. Vielleicht die Glanzpunkte weg oder den Blick zum Betrachter richten?

Lutz - Thanks I like eyes
Mario - im with you i want to be an anonimous
Michelle - im very happy to you like it, its half of A4 format like a Marios portrait, its better on live and looks more colourful

I just want to contact transportation firms like fedex what is cost to send one page of art than i will sell it for you and for mario :) original will be cost 50$ + transportation (shipping) :D
But IMO its better to buy big print from here like metal print it will bigger for wall :)

Thank you Lisa! It's artists helping artists, cross promotions, I can't wait to get my metal print.

 

Mario Carta

Today my metal portrait print arrived and I have to say it was not what I expected, it was way nicer than I imagined it. The finish on this was very awesome I had no idea it would be so smooth almost like a glass finish, very glossy and the colors were super vivid. I'm very happy and impressed with the quality and this will hang on my wall. The digital did an amazing painting and FAA delivered on the printing.

Take a chance paint a few first, I'm sure once they are seen, you will get buyers. Just avoid painting any known cheapos.Lol

 

Dfbdfbd Dfbdfb

:D no i dont paint noone if they dont buy
i dont paint you for buying i just paint you and than you liked it and buy :D

 

Mario Carta

I wasn't looking for a portrait of me, but when I saw it, I wanted it!

 

Mario Carta

8 Years Ago

I sure would try that approach, you have to take risk to find that niche market, don't you be a cheapo, Lol If it worked once it will work again, start painting those who like your work, you know who they are.

I dont know who are they
I only know John and he already buy 2 tshirt and lot of creeting card i dont think he want to portrait by me, he like my alien artworks and he collect them wich is good
