Aussie Thread Round 27

[Peasant]

So...in the absence of getting a Dodson....I do have some good news...my brother is over in Vancouver atm and attended FanExpo, in which he managed to get me an 11x17 Batman Bust by David Finch!!! I totally wasn't expecting it!!! and to make it even better....it worked out to be $130AUD!!! I thought Finch's busts were at least $200USD?

Just thought I might ask the question to you all...do artists charge randomly???

I'll have to update my CAF page later when I get the actually piece.

Do all artists charge randomly? Well, some seem to, especially with me and my jam...

Congrats Terence that's awesome!!

Bonus on the cost too! If I was gonna guess I'd say it looks to me like that's a much smaller con sketch than he usually does (certainly not the standard 11x17) which may have contributed to the reduced fee, but yeah it does seem there's often a sliding scale when it comes to artist rates! Take it and run!

Thanks Rod!
Yeah, I thought it looked slightly smaller than the regular 11x17 page!!!! but bigger than an A4 page...ah well...
I guess a Finch is better than none! LOL

You weren't referencing your best mate Yardin again are you? LOL

[blink90210]

I won't hear a bad word said about Mr Yardin, you Peasant.


(Isn't he a lurker around here?)

Congrats on getting a Finch piece Terence!

Yeah, assuming Dave's hands are about the same size as mine, I'd say that's a 9x12. Still a pretty good price I reckon.

[blink90210]

Hm, I think Stephen is right regarding the size of the Finch art. I've just done a quick comparison with my hands as well (granted I have huge hands )
