To buy my Art

My friend tan man expressed interest in purchasing number 8 from my gallery of collages. That piece is different from my other work. It is made from modern comics. All other work is exclusively vintage. I will never do another piece like it. I did that one as an experiment. I decided I will only use vintage material for the rest of my career. Only that collage will contain modern comics. He is smart. I discussed in my profile that there will only be twelve number one collages. It means a lot to me having those 12 pieces created. It will hurt to remove each one from my living room and let it go. I discuss how each one cost me 135 dollars to print on canvas. 35 dollars is the cost to have each collage scanned to enter my mentor's archives. It cost one hundred dollars to print on canvas and stretch on a frame. If you also want a copy of number 8 all you have to do is ask, pay me and I can have it printed. Printing takes at least two weeks. Only the work in that gallery is available immediately. I have to have work in the other gallery scanned before I can print and sell it. However if you want a piece from the other gallery contact me because I can easily scan and print it on paper or canvas.

this is my reply to tan man which discusses other issues: You are a wise man. Number 8 is different from my other work. It is made of modern comics and not vintage material. It is no tiny piece of art. It is roughly 20 by 24inches. It is printed on canvas and stretched on a wooden frame by a professional printshop. The photo resolution is perfect. You will be impressed. It cost me 135 dollars to create. I told you I am not charging a fortune for my work. If you would really like to buy it then it will cost 200 dollars plus the cost of shipping. I have yet to ship one yet. I would prefer to use fed ex and have it shipped and packaged by a professional. Canvas can be easily destroyed in the shipping process. I would prefer an expert guarantee it is properly padded and considered fragile. I do not trust the US postal system. I have seen to many things get lost or damaged when I sold vintage clothing. We shall chat about it on skype. If money is an issue I can bubble wrap it and we can us the normal postal system. I will talk to you and find out what fed ex charges to package and ship my work. I do not have paypal so i have to take a money order. I must sleep now. I wish I had a paper edition to offer you for fifty dollars. If that is more in your budget you can send me a money order and I can have it printed. It will be cheaper to ship because i can roll it and mail it in a tube through the normal postal system. Only the canvas one will be a number one. The paper copy will be signed and titled however it will not be a number one. Any collage in that gallery is an option for a man to purchase on canvas for 200 or paper for 50. I recommend canvas because it is wall ready and doesn't need a frame. The paper copy can be wall ready with thumbtacks like a poster. However, to preserve and cherish it properly it needs a frame. Framing is expensive. As you can see I am not out to be rich. I barely make a profit. I want my work out there. If possible I will also try to send you a copy of my profile pic signed as a bonus with a personal message on the back. You can also pick a different picture of me if you have a favorite.

Those are my prices. 200 for canvas or 50 for paper. Eleven other people can purchase a number one that is already created. I can send you a picture or evidence that printing is in progress. I will even frame my profile pic if I can. You can help launch my career. I will be setting up a website and sending a link to galleries around the world. I guarantee a response. This is just your chance to get me before a gallery. This is your chance for a personal message and a number that not even a gallery can provide. Some of my work in the larger gallery is also numbered and it will be very expensive and valuable if I become a big deal. Ask me about any image in a page or blog comment.
