If the picture/painting was cool I'd buy it. I'm cheap though, so it's gotta be the right price.
But ya, if the pic was sweet, it would hanging on my wall.

im interested in getting my wn posters done just of us local surfers and all. But there are a few bits of art if i had the cash id love to buy. Theres more feeling in a painting than a poster.

Yeah I've bought several posters and prints to hang on the walls - Laird's Millenium Wave at 'Chopes', that shot of Cyclops, a No Fear poster at Mavs, and about 6 Drew Brophy prints. Love it 8) !

Pault you gave me a great idea.

My cousin paints and does oil pastels. I have gotten her to do some pics for me in the past, gave her a suggestion of what I want, then she paints it. I am proudly hanging the original art on my walls. Anyways, I have just asked her to do an oil pastel of a surfer getting barrelled. The initial drawings look awesome! She said it should be done in about 3 months. I will post a pic of it when she is done.

Thanks Pault.

Thats great Jethrodog :D

My sister is a great artist, and I normally get her to do paintings for my birthdays and such. Although I'm finally throwing my hand in and doin some of my own, I've been sketching for a few years but never really done anything else, apart from water colours here and there. It'll be great to see what she does :D
