Somewhat slow. Dadofandrew stopped in for a bit.

Depends on how sales are probably.

 

[MojoDan]

So there is no annual sale set in place, something like 10% off singles, 25% off of 8x10s etc?

Sketch card Very cool idea. I don't like sketch cards for the most part, but I really like this style. I would scoop up a Wake if it looked like this. Here is the auction.

Edit: The seller has three other cool ones. I'm gonna watch this guy.

Looking at the sellers feedback and his 1 negative..

Not a Hand drawn sketch! Computer printout of photo!! F- Buyer: andyh681 ( 35) Sep-03-09 12:43

This seller is a fraud. BUYERS BEWARE!! This is not hand drawn.

:? It'd be a shame if that's the case, but that's only one guy. Could he be mistaken? I agree they do have an element of photo/computer printout quality, but this type of effect can be achieved by hand. Takes a lot of time and effort, but it can be done. I'm inclined to think they are really hand-drawn, but I could be wrong.

There is a gril at my work that can make any photo look hand drawn
first she uses her projection machine and blow up the image and then she just full it in and Bam

Yeah photoshop is quite powerful that way. I emailed this artist/seller to see what his process is and if these are 100% sketch. Doubt he'll tell me but worth a shot.

You guys were right about these cards. Here is sellers response:

"Dave: Thank you for the message. I do a lot of 3D graphic artwork or I guess you can call it computer artwork on each sketch card I sell. It is about 50/50 sketch and computer. I wish they were easy to make but each one takes 1/2 a day to design and work on. I always want to sell the very best sketch cards on ebay. Thanks again!"

::facepalm:: Shame.

P.S. BILLS SUCK! :x

I would to. Still cool looking pieces but very misleading that he mentions that they are hand-sketched so emphatically without any mention of computer-generation when that's one of the ways its produced. Ah well. Moving on :lol:

Been slow for a while in this economy.

Depends really. Where slow now because of the game.

 

[IndyManning18]

Good and bad days here as well. Seems slow when the Colts are playing, though.
