Carving, painting...Man, there's no stopping you! I love the comic style, you make it seem like the images are really moving and we caught them on one frame out of a series. Very cool work!

Polynesiac, you described this style better than I could. I'm going to use it on my site. Thanks.

R Raffertiki Member L.I. Joined: Oct 31, 2003 Posts: 1527	R Raffertiki Posted posted on Thu, Apr 8, 2004 4:12 PM I have received a few emails from TCers asking what I plan to do with these images. I wasn't sure at first, but have decided to paint them on canvas in series of 25 each. Each of the 25 will be an actual painting and numbered in sequence. I don't recall seeing a painting offered as 25 originals before, but this may be a case of thinking outside the box. What do you guys think? Monkeyman, I will be in touch for more frames.

Usually when one thinks of owning an original painting, the thought is that there is only one like it in the entire world.

Is there a market? I'll let you know. Kanaka, I will be painting 25 copies of each design on canvas. I'll figure out a fair price after I've painted one or two. I'll keep you posted.

I know that I would consider them as 25 originals, especially if I painted them, since I would never get them to be the same even if I tried. Won't you get bored, though? I don't know about the relative value, since this stuff all is worth what you can get someone to pay for it, when all is said and done. But over history most artists tend to paint the same themes and scenes lots of times and haven't seemed to suffer from it, so I say do it.
