I'm curious if there's anyone in here who'd be interested in commissioning any stencil work from me in the form of a 22x28 poster. Changing cash to Bitcoin is a bit of a pain, and like most artists, I usually work enough to just pay the habit anyhow. So I figure I may as well ask if any o' y'all would be kind enough to support my happy fun times with the currency I crave.
I typically just dink around with the desired image (cutting out the background noise and whatnot, changing shading levels, etc etc) until I've got two or more decent enough layers between colour(s) and black, then cut each layer out to spray the stencil, one at a time. It can be a bit of an arduous task, but it ain't silk screen, so it takes some TLC to get done. I've been doing these for a while now as gifts to friends and family but they (rightly) don't pay shit.
Depending on the level of difficulty most layers usually take a day each to get from print to cut to spray, and this is all after the time taken to do the shades on the comp. I'd be asking for 50$ a layer, which is pretty goddamned dirt cheap, especially considering the time it takes to do a single one means I'd be averaging out to less than minimum wage in the long run. But hey, artists gotta be poor to be any good, right? Poor and on drugs.
If demand increases and I'd have to be forced to increase the price, you'd find out far in advance. I wouldn't start the piece until after the buyer saw and approved of the digital version from which it'd be cut, so I wouldn't expect the buyer to pay for something he/she didn't want, or at the very least didn't want tweaked to suit his/her needs. Buyer can pay when the image is agreed upon.
I specialize in pictures of naked wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers, daughters, etc etc etc.
If you want any examples of previous works, you're welcome to check these out, and thanks again for your drugs.

I am as well. Looks really good. I would love to get of my mother and give it to my dad. Like the last photo that was taken of them together.

Coolies. Nice to know even a couple are interested.
Most pictures work, provided the lighting in it offers some shades to work with. Simple portraits work the best, like this one:

The current one I'm about to get started for a bud is this:

I personally think it's too many colours - the shades of the walls were practically non-existent, the door detracts from the couple, etc etc. But it's 5 layers, meaning 250$, and I know he's colour-deficient too so I can blame that for his awkward desires.
This gives me the impression that there's a demand out there, so yay! Drug money!

Well, thank you to xxxnnn for that reminder... (?)
There's been difficulty with the listing as when someone tries to add to cart it simply redirects to the front page, as if it were an expired listing. I've contacted SR and it's hopefully going to be fixed shortly. Thanks again for your continued patience.
