psychedelic influenced computer "paintings"... A Serious Art Form! (starting at $10)

    To remain hidden lets just say swim happens to be the artist... now swim does not do traditional art... details below.

    Swim does computer "paintings" while under the influence of very strong psychedelic's (meaning he is "in another state of mine") now he considers his form of art to be very unique.

    Due to the pure cost of the "supplies" and the time and will it takes to make this art swim wants to start the CUSTOM computer paintings at just $10.

    Now this service is for the amount of time and work swim uses to make your art piece... now the details you must supply swim with is the size (in pixels), a full story of a event in your life that you would like swim to paint, and if you want a general "flow"/color scheme of the work(not required if you would like swim to pick for you *recommended*)... due to the state in which swim is in he can not accept a request to "paint your dog"... it is not so much a request art as it is a custom painting for the individual...

    Below is the only sample swim can share with you because he never shares his clients work with others.
    (http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/4623/48081955at7.png)
    This is just something swim has done to warm up for a clients custom piece. Swim does much more detailed pieces for clients.

    There are two ways in which you can get a price/painting... the first is to set a fixed price in which you would like to pay for the work (the higher the price the more time is put into the work)... or you can set a range price in which swim picks a price within that range after the piece is finished (what he feels is most fair) *This form of payment requires a $10 deposit to start*.

    Your painting will be delivered to you via internet as an image file... you are free to do as you wish with it because you own all rights to the work (you may even resell it or give it as a gift).

    Feel free to content me for any more details about swims work!

    Becuase this is DP the starting price for a basic custom piece is just $10 :eek:!

    To kick this off and get some buzz going, swim is going to be giving out two custom paintings for just $5 each! The catch is that swim also has the right to publish the work in swims portfolio so people can see the work.
    (swim is still doing private custom paintings starting at the $10 mark)

    If swim was 3years old I'm sure swim would not be using psychedelic's.

    Since interest seems very low among DP members Swim is offering a "Buy one Get one Half off" so you can order two basic painting for just "7.50" (offer expires after Sunday, or if customer limit is reached)

    I don't think so. Those who are thinking of going crazy with psychedelics should be directed to this thread :D

    I have contacted those interested, and spots are still available for swims up coming painting session (next session might be another 2 weeks or better away so get your orders in for this one).

    Swim does not disclose swims sales.

    dimmakherbs might print out the painting and hang it on his wall, or give it as a present, or use it as a desktop background, or resell it for a profit... There are many things he could do with it.
