fisch Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I am curious what y'all would be willing to pay for prints of the datto art? Normally for my other illustration I sell a 24" tall or wide giclee print for $75. These prints are bad ass. Not little 8X11 color copies. And the price goes up from there for canvas, etc. But what would Datsun dudes be willing to spend? I hadn't thought about making prints too much as I really do these for the love of it, where as every other piece of art I do is commercial. BUT, I'd really like to make the latest '58 design a reality. (I know, first you gotta find one!) And if I thought about the funds from prints going to the coffee can for a 58 or 59 Rod... well that is another story indeed! How much interest is there really? Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I would love to have a print of the 510 fighter and the 411 Ratrod for sure! As of right now, $75 is a little out of my range for a pleasure item (read: not food, rent, gas, or beer) but if there is a way to print that is a little more affordable all the way around, and put some funds toward your projects, and make it worth your time... count me in! (I don't know anything about printing options or qualities) That said, I definitely think your work is worth whatever you want to ask for it- eye-popping stuff! If that is the only way, then I will start saving, now! Quote Link to comment
makya Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Y'know, since we are such a bunch of cheap bastardos, maybe doing 8x10 prints wouldn't be a bad Idea. I personally would probably pay $25 for a quality 8x10 print before I'd pay $75 for a High Quality poster sized print. If all you can do is the larger print, then I will save up though, for any of them. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 How about a calander that has 1 drawing for every two months. (seeings how you have 6 done) A 12"X12" picture with the months bellow. That would be worth at least $50 even to a cheap @$$ Ratsun guy. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 ...As of right now, $75 is a little out of my range for a pleasure item (read: not food, rent, gas, or beer)... Y'know, since we are such a bunch of cheap bastardos.... Fisch, just like a $480 LSD, your artwork is totally worth it, but like the LSD it's hard for a ratsun owner to cough it up. You do know that copper wire was invented by two Datsun owners fighting over a penny, right? Quote Link to comment
510er Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 1. Its only money 2. Its for a good cause (building a datto) 3. I would fosho do 2 for a 100.00! LOVE IT! Quote Link to comment
69FJWagon Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 come on guys the mans an artist and has a passion for Datsuns like the rest of us and if he is going to try and make one of his renderings a actual car I would spend the $75 bucks to help make his dream a reality... Now Scott if you were to to a '69 wagon in a nice shade of blue I personally would go higher than that :D. with that said have you ever done a rendering of someones personal car??? maybe there would be a market for that too and not just for the Datsun guy Clayton Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 $75 seems a fair price for what the person would be getting i personally am gonna hold out till i can afford it and there is a rendering of a 610 2 door :P but i would love to get one onve money allows Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) i would like some as well, big ones! i just dont have the funds right now. Edited April 25, 2009 by h2theizzo Quote Link to comment
Wharf Rat Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I say it's worth every penny, easy. 411 please, wish you had a four door but would settle for the wagoon though ...... Realy realy wish I had a four door candy apple red with a little crazzy lookin toy rat terrier stickin its head out the window I would pay 150 for that. I know it's worth more Scott and your busy ...... but another of the mountain grizz and your three hundred closer to your Hot Rod. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Fisch, number and sign them. They could end up on e-Bay. Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Fisch, number and sign them. They could end up on e-Bay. True that- It sounds like you've got some interest here! ....and as broke as most of us are- I'm sure we could all cough up enough to make it worth your while! you def. don't want to go too low, or you get some creedler snapping them up and reselling them for profit! I can only speak for myself, but I want one for pure automotive pornography!!:D i think I could handle paying a chunk if I could get a couple prints (combo pack!) I'm pretty sure that you know that if we're all looking for a lower price its because we're all on a datto budget and we all NEED those!! Edited April 25, 2009 by hessianben Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'd definitely be in for one of a 280zx...but I'll settle for any Z. Probably pick up the 510 one as well. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) ditto :fu: id pay pretty much any asking price, it would be well worth it Edited April 26, 2009 by Skib Quote Link to comment
jknc90 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'd pay that for a 240Z print Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'd definitely be down for the 510 and maybe the others. Gotta get the fundage first. Your artwork is amazing and they'd make some bitchin garage/pool room/anywhere posters. Quote Link to comment
BRE510 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) OK guys... here is my scoop... "fisch" has been gracious enough to provide us with "Datsun Art"!!!! (gorgeous Datsun art!) which very few of us can do anywhere near the same... If "fisch" decided to make a calendar or what not, I myself would be happy to pay "fisch" for his time and work...because I can not do what he can do in the art...And my experience with unique Datsun art is ....It only goes up in value over time... I have been in this for 14 years and that has been my experience... Bottom line, my belief is Fisch's art work will be PRICELESS (No joke)... Mark my words!!!….

Skib Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 ^ pretty much we all love your work man, if we dont have the cash well start saving our pennies :D Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 one for $75 2 for $110??? i would love to see a jdm style 280zx as well as edz. i prolly would do the truck as my second choice. Quote Link to comment
shifty Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Are you doing on-demand giclee prints for your other art? (nice stuff, btw!) Possible to offer several sizes? If you do a calendar try http://magcloud.com/ (I've been curious about their quality) If you are used to giclee prints, something like CafePress, etc. will not be up to your standards. On-demand printing for calendars and such is the way to go. You'll make less per unit, but you will not be on the hook for a bunch of inventory. I've known a few folks who have done tradional print runs of Datsun-related calendars over the years and they all lost money. I'm waiting for you to do a roadster! Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks for all the feedback on this guys! I am a bit surprised at all the responses!! You make me feel all warm inside! Shifty these would indeed be on demand Giclees like the other art on my website. I will gather my thoughts on this and try to figure out a few options. Ratsun Rocks! Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Ratsun Rocks! and dont ya forget it :fu: youv already sold me 3 calendars :D Quote Link to comment
NSRz32 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'd definitely be down for a calendar Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) where are the ratsun on your website ??? im down for a 510 and a calander you should do a couple more so you have 12 :) 610, z, roadster, 1200 and a skyline 2000GT-R KPGC-10 Edited April 28, 2009 by sssr20det510 Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 where are the ratsun on your website ??? im down for a 510 and a calander you should do a couple more so you have 12 :)610, z, roadster, 1200 and a skyline 2000GT-R KPGC-10 I've been meaning to add them to the website, but I need to create a special section for them which means I have to relearn how I made it! And there is something cool about them just being here! But I do have them on my facebook in a gallery. If there were only more time in the day fellows! Getting a lot of clamoring for a Z. I was working on a 221 222 rat truck to match this 59. I also have a half cooked 521 that I need to finish. (Since I own one!) I will get to them all someday!But I have to squeeze them in between the paying illustration gigs. And when I do them I am really playing hookie from my other clients.... But it is good for my soul!!!! Quote Link to comment
