Post the piece

>>6625194
are you the same guy who sells a bunch of paintings on ebay?

>>6625194
Good shit Brian, congratulations. Do you live by the water? You could churn these out and sell 10 of them a day in the summertime by the beach.

>>6625194

first sale in 5 years

>>6625222
Long time coming. Been working so damn hard lmao

>>6625194
lmaoing at your 100% positive review score being fucked by an idiot who can't use computer. You should contact ebay and see if they can remove that one

>>6625258
i feel like that guy used ebay once and peaced out lmao. he never responded to messages i sent him about it

>>6625194
How do you go about deciding prices for your paintings? I bought like 20 or so of these little 8x10s and am planning to do a bunch of still life’s or something to sell on eBay most likely.

>>6625310
Forgot pic

>>6625310
Cheapest you can possibly go, that’s what I’m doing lately

>>6625194
How do you even ship these things? Put them in a tube or send them on a board?

>>6625371
Really sturdy cardboard boxes and a lot of bubble wrap

>>6625194
When it comes to longevity of a piece, do you treat your painting with anything when it's finished? Or like put a gloss layer or anything?

>>6625194
Give up some details about the piece then.
I can't get any decent prices on ebay, let alone over a 1000.

>>6625505
its big, 22"x28". Worked on it for about 2 months on and off, finally finishing it with a wash and enhanced highlights at the end.

>>6625510
Well done on the sales, do you think it's the size the buyers want? How do your smallest paintings sell?

>>6625510
>2 months
You were working on other paintings at the same time right?

>>6625194
Cumfarti showing digicucks how it's done, tradchads can't keep winning forever

>>6625514
yes, generally I will start tons of paintings, and not finish them until I have something interesting to say for them. Most of the paintings I sell are "unfinished" in that they're initial drawings and layers that were "backgrounds" for something else. I do this to have choices of paintings at lower prices for people ($100-$200). Think a background for an animated movie without the animation on top.
>>6625513
Smaller ones sell great, people love spending $100 on stuff.

>>6625194
Don't tempt these kids. They're just gonna make a mess and get discouraged then post their suicide note in /wct/

>>6625371
>>6625376
i heard some wrap in packing paper and then wrap in foam board to and bottom

Interesting to hear that bubble wrap works too. Maybe not for bigger pieces

CUMFARTI BROS, WE ARE SO BACK

He just copies AI.

>>6625549
The long winter is over brother

>>6625546
Bubble wrap is tragic for the environment but it’s nearly impenetrable. Carbon footprint goes crazy for me but it protects the artwork

Every time I look at your ebay listings I am saddened. Your art is just so ugly. People have no taste.

>>6625194
Hey Brian, instead of gloating to a bunch of frogs turning gay you should really consider keeping those finances to yourself unless you want somebody to audit.

>>6625569
Begone IRS anime child, begone

>>6625568
You have no taste, get your brain checked for cum holes

>>6625568
wait until you find out about self publishing books
reddit ran the numbers years ago and shitting out the lowest quality writing imaginable in large quantities always beats quality, and it’s not even close

>>6625581
Not anymore with chatgpt most likely

>>6625590
the only thing generators are going to do is the same thing they did for the internet, saturate it in indistinguishable worthless garbage that makes it difficult to find anything, making quantity an even bigger factor in profit and perpetuating the cycle
note how even authoritative sources need to constantly increase output to maintain their value, driving the quality down for obvious reasons
the only thing that is going to change is that chatgpt is going to force the people shitting out writing to use it so they can keep up with the faggots shitting out massive amounts of garbage with it
writers are far worse off than us because you can’t really size up a book at a glance, their 7 fingers and 3 arms aren’t evident without investment from the audience

>>6625194
Are you the guy that copies ai and sells it?

>>6625628
cumfarti started copying ai?

>>6625622
>the only thing that is going to change is that chatgpt is going to force the people shitting out writing to use it so they can keep up with the faggots shitting out massive amounts of garbage with it
At that point it's not even writing and you're just contributing to the turd pile. In 10-20 years people probably won't even read anyway because tik tok 2.0 will fry everyone's attention span worse than ever before.

>>6625639
some of them are cool, i sell them for cheap anyways

>>6625646

Being edgy doesn't get you paid, he's getting paid instead.

Post them.

>>6625797
You've seen already

>>6625224
Man I love seeing another artist doing their thing well. Keep up the grind man. Well deserved.

>>6625224
Yeah? And here I am raking 4k each paycheque.
t.bluecollar

>>6625824
do u liek ork?

>>6625224
Fucking good man.

>>6625826
I don't like it. I can tolerate it. Last thing I need is worrying about what to draw to not starve like OP. That shit ain't for me bro.

>>6625824
>And here I am raking 4k each paycheque.
what does that have to do with art

>>6625224
BASED

>>6625194
Happy for you, Brian. Where do you get your thick cardboard boxes? I’ve seen them at shipping centers and they’re quite expensive

>>6626370
Uline and yeah they’re not cheap. It’s probably my biggest business expense

>>6625194
good for you
what kind of art do you make? pyw?

>>6626385
lurk

>>6625194
do you market your stuff somehow (youtube etc)?
or how do you get people to know your stuff, do you just put your paintings on ebay and thats it?

Thats nice.
Always wondered what kind of art sells nowadays.

>>6625194
Alive to see the cumfarti redemption arc

>>6626469
I just look at what’s popular and do a better version of what’s available. Why? Cause fuck’em that’s why

>>6626644
>better version
doubt

Where is the new /trad/ thread, then? Sheesh.

Painting on linen canvas with crappy shiny gesso on it, that shop slippy gesso is gross. Nothing dries on it and painting takes forever.

>>6628347
Be the change you want to see in the world. I think OP has a good grift going and im gonna try my hand at something similar. I figure if you paint the kind of retarded shit that rich wives and shit will want in their kitchens, living rooms, and hallways alongside all the other shit they waste their husbands money on you’ve got a chance. When you’re rich you understand buying cheap paintings from the back of Ross is tacky so you’ll spend $300 plus on something equally as shitty but at least painted by a human and not some Chinese factory worker on an assembly line. Expensive AirBNBs are always full of hand painted art that they probably insure, that could be our art. I’m going to pretend to be a young woman though.

>>6628384
Thomas Kinkade in the making

>>6625194
I have.
But it's harder to sell than abstract post modernist garbage.

>>6625222
> and sell 10 of them a day in the summertime by the beach.

I don't think so, I watched artists who do that and they don't sell much, plus it looks so undignifying, like begging.

>>6628482
It is like begging. When I walk by people with booths in any circumstances I refuse to look them in the eye or even acknowledge them as real people.

>>6628577
Yeah begging is most artists bread and butter. Especially digital artists they just set up tip jars and cash apps immediately like “ANYTHING HELPS GOD PLEASE”. Seeing trad artists beg is a whole other level of pitiful though.

>>6628577
epic

>>6625224
Freaking A anon, happy for you. Any tips?

>>6628473
well why not make abstract post modernist garbage that sells so you can spend more of your free time making the art you want until that is at a level where its sales can overtake the other?

>>6628577
yes. everything should be done through online transaction or having someone sell it for you in their store.

>>6625224
I may not actually like your paintings but I respect the work you put into sheer quantity. Good on you Brian and keep at it.

>>6625224
can you buy me a pizza? It'll be under $20.
