Central Processing Unicorn -- Fine Art Originals
Hi art lovers and random Net friques!
Another one of my art works is available in high-end museum-quality canvas, now in our ever-so-advanced 21st Century -- although it was created with the luxurious Windows 95 technology of MS Paint!
Central Processing Unicorn, as I call it, was created in 2020 during a period of digital painting that I really haven't fallen out of love with yet. In fact I'm still producing pixel art and kaleidoscopic psychedelia with retrowave technology fairly regularly, even in this age of roaring A.I. art.
I've created so much art over the years and have only recently decided it should all become available in some form, as posters or postcards or t-shirts or tote bags or coffee table books. I mean, it's not doing the world any good sitting on my computer hard-drive.
I guess I was holding back because I really wanted to release my gallery collection of fine art over at Saatchi Art. Because the bulk of my multimedia art works is digital, I thought that would be the perfect forum. And, because these are digital originals, an argument could be made that these are in fact fine art originals being offered. (Unless you just want to stop by and see them on my computer?)
So I asked Saatchi Art if they had a way to create limited and self-numbered fine art prints of my works with certificates of authenticity. They could create the works, I was informed, but strangely enough they weren't ready to self-limit and code these non-reproductions. (Non-reproductions, I say, because the digital art had thus-far never been created in a physical form in the first place.) So if I wanted to self-limit for the collectible art market, I would have to handle the reproduction service and mailings myself in using their services. That seemed too much effort considering the volume of creations I have on hand -- and considering how easy it would be for them to do so in this day and age.
As I already had a Zazzle store for my little music label BrainBlister Records, I decided to go forward with putting my art in Zazzle's capable hands. Although Zazzle, as far as I know, offers no certificates of authenticity, I have a record of everything produced and can pull a work should I want to limit it -- and I could also personally offer COAs should they be requested. I could even train my Sea Monkeys or 2-XL Robot Army to mail out COAs! (My original idea was to offer all digital originals as pairs, like a Surrealist Noah with an ark of art.) As the ghost cyborg of Paul Harvey might quip now, you have the rest of the story.
Please take a moment to check out my fine art originals at BrainBlister Zazzle. As for NFTs, don't get me started with that nonsense. Don't you know how to use your mouse to right-click and download a .JPEG or .GIF???
Thanks for the many considerations! Your American Surrealist pal,
