DROOG'S SURF ART

Postby droog79 » Sat Jul 26, 2008 4:33 pm

Hi People,
I'm new here, i've been getting some postive reaction on other forums for my surf art & illustration so thought i'd show a few pics here. Some pieces are for sale and i'm available to commission.
Any constructive criticism also welcome, Enjoy!

(note to mods: although pieces are 4sale or commission, this is not a business, just a hobby, hope i've posted in the right place, can i post link to my blog/webpage?)

hey droog, ive seen your stuff before and I do also love the second to last one (cant see some of the others on this post). I'll be in the mkt to purchase some art next year when i will have some pennies to sort out my house - so how does the commissioning work - just tell you what I like and you interpret that?

hi,
thanks for the comments, thanks for letting me know about the dead links, think they're sorted now (yes?)

yep, commissioning is pretty simple- let me know what you want, what size and i'll give you a reasonable price. if you've got a particular wave/place/photo etc in mind i can work with that (like the Fiji oil and i'm doing a Hebs one at the mo')

Also do other more illustration style stuff which you can see at droog79.org.uk and latest work on my blog at droog79.blogspot.com - if anyone's got a surf, sk8, art or design blog please pm me to swap links.

more art on the way soon. . . . .

dannyboy, Libby -please pm me for prices
(or use my email, on website & blog),

cos it depends what exactly you want:
the size, whether its an oil painting/illustration on wood/canvas/sk8board/surfboard, whether its a commisision or buying a piece already done etc etc.

up for trying anything.....
