Normally, I prefer to sell here, but when it comes to originals, I often put them up on Etsy first for added exposure.
We’re running on a deficit this month, so I put these three items up for sale on Etsy, significantly reduced in price until one or the other sells, then the others will go back up, and find their way back here.
If you’ve been wanting an original work from me, this week may be the very best chance to do so, and do so cheaply.
Lost City 14×11 in acrylic on Bristol board $395 $300
The piece is done in acrylic paint on acid-free bristol board, and is 11×14 inches.
It is detailed, as with most of my paintings, down to a single hair or less for countless fine details.
It features two airships moored to the ground amidst an abandoned city which is carved into the surrounding plateaus.
Gadreel over Mackinac Bridge: 44×32 sculpture in wood and light, ready to hang – $550
I based this design on the airship from “Behold the Machine”, it is carved in mahogany, and painted in several types and layers of stain to separate the airship from the sails, clouds, bridge, and water.
It is roughly 44 inches by 36 inches and 2 inches thick. It requires no framing as it has 2-inch thick sides which are also stained and varnished. Hangers are already installed on the back.
I made a network of LEDS inside of the sculpture, and drilled holes for light to come through (along the airship and bridge), and put two red LEDs at the top of the bridge.
It is battery powered, but if the piece sells, I can buy the resistors and wire needed to make it powered by AC, with a 3-volt 500MA power adapter. Unless the new owner would prefer it remain battery powered.
For all the work I put into it, and since it was originally a part of our ArtPrize bid, and since it isn’t something I can make prints/reproductions of (completely beyond OOAK in that regard) I’d typically price this piece at $2,700 and would prefer to sell it for no less than $1,000. But, money is tight this week, and I am throwing it on Etsy at a steep, steep discount for now.
The Ruins: 14×11 acrylic on Bristol board – $375 $275
The city in the mountains is inspired my collaborative work with Bethalynne Bajema on the 30 foot x 10 foot mural we did for Artprize and showed at Destination 1111.
I wanted to see how bits of this city would look in a mountain landscape setting – and like many of my landscapes, the airships or other vehicles serve as a mode by which to explore — adding that human element without making the piece completely about a character or group of characters… maintaining that wondrous and serene landscape feel.
The piece is done in acrylic paint on acid-free bristol board, and is 11×14 inches.
