Okay - got it ... OH MAN! Your drawings are great!!! I just took the time to look at a few so far (I MUST get to work), but you have a cruel sense of humor and the talent to pull off your ideas! "THROWBACK" - "BOOGYSNACK" - "MISO HUNGRY" ... Those are priceless! These will help me get to know you better, and that will help me with the painting. Your work reminds me of ED Gory or Tim Burton.
Yes, my commissioned works are very good. The EBAY "work" is frustrating for me at times. However, I thank heaven it is there for me. It's how I live. Now I am the sole support of my home. I can place a good piece of art on EBAY and it will not sell - then the painting done on the side with the excess paint while painting it, (I don't like to waste paint), something that I would have thrown away, (gesso'd over) THAT will sell for hundreds! Well, who am I to say what is good?
I'll be in touch! - Steven
