"No original" would have me suspicious. But I'm a starving student anyway.

Heard what's going on with art4love. The whole thing's ridiculous. I'd probably buy if i didn't know any better, I'll admit it. But that's all the more reason to go after guys like him.

I buy LE prints all the time since I'm too poor to buy originals usually. However, I don't normally go for jumbo sizes. I prefer smaller (matted to 11x14, generally) ones so I can have a beautiful riot of art on every available bit of wall space. When it comes to art on my walls, less is NOT more. :giggle:

I'm saving up to be a starving artist *snorts* as in am in Graphic Design but hoping to just freelance... Still I'm going to agree with the previous sentiment, I think a limited edition set signed/numbered would be nice.. I just don't know about jumbo prints. On some pieces (the panoramic gearworld shot with the skull for ex) an xl piece numbered signed l.e. would be great. But most, I would be happier with a l.e. set. also agreeing with an above poster, that perhaps make them matted as well?

I guess most of us are starving. Survival of the fittest, eh?

owww! i love your digital stuff! I'd love to own one but all my money goes towards my own art supplies, and only occasionally to food. I'm pretty sure I only survive off the caffene in bad coffee.
BUT im not above guilting/threatening/intimidating one of my freinds into buying one for me if your "Owl Saint" was up for offer...

Important how limited the edition is.
You keep it to about 50, like common printwork editions, and you're still creating something valuable. But much over 100 or so and its starting to lose its value i guess, beins to become a print-off, not a print.

Originals are more special, but one cannot always get the original of a determinate picture... and no way you can do it if it is digital XD.
