H and I have bought quite a few bits from these guys and their studio is just down the road from us. As they just knocked 60 off a couple of pieces we bought I thought I would give them a mention.
Jason's stuff is really cool and we have a couple of his pieces, he does the textured stuff in the first 3 sections of the pull down menu :)
They also do photos on to perspex, one of the pieces we just go is a black and white horizon shot on perspex it reminds me very much of some of Pete's work, I'll take some photos when we put it up :)

Oooh, some of those look lovely !!
/hides CC ! :o
Damn there is some good work on there. My house is rather barren at the moment and I have been thinking about getting some work to put up. Actually the tryptichs on there would look good in the living room. Have you had a wander around the studio?
I do want to go back to the little studio/shop in Boulogne as that had some cracking art in there.
Loving the city life section.

I really like some of the Jason Howard tryptichs - I might well be tempted at some point.
Some of the textured stuff in the textured paintings 1, 2 & 3 look very familiar. They look like prints that I saw on the Northlink Ferries that travel between Aberdeen and Shetland.

I love some of the textured originals, if I had the money I'd buy some.
I saw some awesome awtwork at ILVA in lakeside today, for some reason a couple of the original pieces there just jumped out at me.

Heres some of the stuff we have already
This is a fabric piece which is in the living room, I really need to get it put on the wall properly!

This piece is above our bed, the flash really doesn't show it off well

This is the new piece on the bed. Its going to be put up on the wall opposite the bed so its almost like a long window. Heather isn't sure about having two pieces opposite each other, but I think in a bedroom when your only really going to be able to look at one piece or the other it should work OK. We fell in love with this, its a photo which has been transfered on to a piece of acrylic so it has a depth to it and is glass like on the front. When we saw it we just had to have it!

Hello Jason ;)
I suspect that Jason has been monitoring his webtraffic ;D
Don't worry mate you can tell them about your stuff, we're a pretty closed community here and we encourage blatant self promotion ;)

That does look very cool.
Maybe you should tell us about yourself before pimping your work ;)

No really pimping as self promotion doesn't really work.
I use a lot of chat rooms when i am bored and this one looked good. It is all about the backlinks and google picking up the web address.
Saves me paying hundreds per day on google adwords.
That is me on the perspex there.
do i look nice?

Yeh, that is great stuff.
The colours are just right for perspex. I don't know pete but we would sell it for him.
Canvas would be ok but you would lose a lot of the gloss. Perspex would allow him to show the colours as with his prints.
He should post them on the fans websites.

Yeah if I had the cash I'd so go for some over the normal 30x20'' prints I do. I had some metre wide canvas prints done the other month. Just so damn nice looking. But £180 to print.

Does no one have to work tomorrow?

That is really expensive. There are plenty of trade art suppliers like our company that do them cheaper. You should be able to get them for about £50.00
Blackstar

Yes...well no not really i have a 9am lecture, but can't sleep due to being very sore.
Plus i'm looking at Pete's photos now, i always get distracted.

Freelance photographer :D So, no jobs tomorrow. Just people to call about exhibition and a meeting at 3pm.

Really? It was with a company called www.photo-canvas.com. 1m wide, 4cm deep and delivered in 2 days. I didn't mind so much as I was selling them at £450 :)

I have about 20 perspex pieces to pack. We sell to photographers who resell in studios like "venture" and alike. They don't like it if they are late in the post.
Me off too. Nice to meet you all. Nice to see a thread where people actuall talk and reply to posts.

Pete, email me at info@fourblankwalls.co.uk when you get a chance and i will send you the trade price list.
Canvas prints are quite cheap to print nowadays and they should have given you a trade discount I would expect the price to be about less but it all depends on quality. They are part of a chain a bit like snappy snaps, so would be expensive. They print on Dye sub which is the same as ours but that is a bit steep.
Invest in your own printer for 1.5 - 2k and you can print them and frame them for about £15.00
All the best.

Oh god no. They're really really far too cheap. 50p a use is terrible. I've sold photos to clients for £500. I think Istock is great from a clients perspective but photographers make so little money.

£5k would certainly be nice, but I do feel that my photography is worth more than your average meal at McDonalds :) No offense to her as I could so do with £5k a month.
