Damn, I was just leaving. Jaline, this is why I wanted to talk to you about your artwork buying habits in the first place a few months back. My big problem is that I would feel like a con man if I sold giclées. After I had done the deal I would sit there thinking "Somebody just handed me 60quid for a bubblejet and I pretended it was something more fancy called a Giclée" and I don't think I could live with that.
When Iwas doing the Scissor Sisters stuff I was literally swamped with their mad fans wanting to buy any at all. I could have really cleaned up but the thought made me feel really queezy.
I guess I'll never be rich because I have a problem taking money from people under anything that could be deemed false pretences or inflated values.
Do you ever look at the massive pile of prints you've bought over the years Jaline, and think "Fuck, are these really worth it?"
For me personally, I'd be much happier to get to a point where I feel my large drawings are as good as I want them to be, and to sell them, as original artworks, for £thousands. Maybe I'm being naiive but I feel as though selling bubblejets now for £60 will somehow undermine my potential for selling A0 size original drawings for thousands in 5 years time when I'm good enough that I feel they are worth that money.
- Right now they are not good enough so I'll let you all have them for £500, okay? Great.Horp
- Its also why I sent you some shots of my Bazooka printing technique, to see if you felt they were worth more for being genuinely hand made and truly limited.Horp
- genuinely hand made and truly limited. You didn't though, so that was that and so I smashed up my printing apparauts. j/kHorp
- Anyway, Now I'm leaving for the pub.Horp
- OK, read my response later on.Jaline
- but they're not paying for the print, they're paying for the art********
- Agreed Rand, so why the moniker? Could it be to hide the fact that bubblejets collapse after a few years?Horp
