Sell that book, Gygax. It's only going to go down in value.

Actually, I lie. I'm pretty sure they won't reprint it so it may go up a bit more. I'm pretty sure that Ryden is done though.

true dat.

i prefer the xeroxable stuffs. web art is fun like that too. "free" to look at.

in college we used to cover the walls with whatever strange stuff we could find. like grocery store circulars with large, illustrated slabs of beef and pork... a friend worked at a portrait studio and they were throwing out there old backdrops... very fuckin hilarious shit to have these wall-sized trees and sky... or a backdrop of a bookcase!

i never get away with shit like that nowadays with the wife. she's got good taste i suppose, but yeah, i guess that my humor for tongue and cheek got old with her. that's funny for only so long i suppose. i still have a nice collection of illustrated directions... like how to operate your walkman in The Universal Language of Symbols... etc etc...

In the mid-90s I went to a gallery in NYC that was displaying some Don Van Vliet paintings.

This artist dude I know had (i think his 1st) gallery show a while back, and I went to it thinking "hey man, I want to help this guy out, I think I'll buy some stuff!" but everything was like 8 hundred and up. I mean, I don't know who is buying this stuff. You go to these things and basically what you see is shitty-dressed hipsters scamming free drinks...

A friend of mine had a show recently and while I was proud, I was also dismayed by the ridiculously unrealistic prices attached to the pieces. I mean, I spend weeks on realistic paintings and probably wouldn't charge that much whereas some of these were works that I had personally seen be created in under an hour. It's odd to think that being fresh out of college, someone considers their sloppy doodles worthy of $700 / hour.

― Ian John50n (orion), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, no this person didn't pay any rent. Even using rent as an excuse, when you're showing 80 paintings, you can afford to lower the prices a bit.

Not at all what I was saying. I was talking about comparing two artists of similar pedigree with vastly different styles. Obv, there are other factors, but I don't think it's an outrageous arguement to make.

Besides, that is mostly a commentary on this particular person's work and not some expose for the benefit of internet doods.

Went to one show where a recent MFA took self-portraits and badly Photoshopped them into old master paintings (Judtih Slaying Holofernes, a Jacques Louis-David, etc.) and wanted $750 apiece for digital prints of her crap.

I bought a print of this:

http://www.edwardfausty.com/images/a111/images/longworkroom.jpg

for $50, and another one of his for another $50. He and a bunch of other JC artists were losing their studios and he made a special edition of a bunch of his photos (each is 1/1) for the closing of their space. I saw a slightly larger print of the same one on an auction site with an estimated value of $800, so yay me, I guess.

He uses some unusual inkjet printing technique/paper, so the effect in person is more interesting.
