I am meeting Sting on November 8th. I am between these two pieces by Rob Schamberger. What should I get signed?   |

I'm more a fan of his surfer days so I like the second one more. They are both great though so whichever you choose will be awesome.

Both are really cool but I think the first one would look better with an autograph on it.

By the way, how much would you charge to get a print made at kinkos?

You're printing someone else's work, to get signed?

You're printing someone else's work, to get signed? Doesn't sound right to me either. A painting should only be signed by the corresponding artist, IMHO. Though, if you have your heart set on either one, bottom for sure. |

$25 won't kill you. Don't print someone else's work without purchasing a reproduction, or contacting the owner. That's just not right at all. I should know. I'm an artist and people don't give artists the credits we deserve. People take us for granted whether that is for music, paintings, or anything else involved in the art industry.

I'm an artist and people don't give artists the credits we deserve. People take us for granted whether that is for music, paintings, or anything else involved in the art industry. I'm a professional artist as well, but I really don't see a problem with someone making a copy of someone's piece to get it signed.
What is he supposed to do, contact the artist to let him know he is going to go meet Sting and he wants to make a copy of his painting to get signed? What's the artist going to say? "No, you have to buy a copy from me.", just to have the guy turn around and print it out anyway?
I draw Spiderman, Batman, etc. almost every day, and if someone took the time to contact me letting me know they were going to make a copy to be signed by (Let's say) Andrew Garfield, Christian Bale, etc. at a con or something, I'd (first) find it flattering because, out of all the art out there, this guy chose mine, and (second) might think the guy was a little weird for making such a big deal out of it. If I put it on the internet, I know it's going to be used for something... somewhere down the line.
True, we artists are taken for granted more often than not, but I don't own Spiderman, much like this artist isn't Sting, so I don't really see how I, or any other artist, would have a legal leg to stand on in a case like this anyway. If pics of these prints are on the web, I can almost guarantee Sting has signed one printed off at Kinkos before.
Does this artist give a percentage of his sales to Sting? If not, then the only person who should be complaining about all this should be Sting! I am no computer genius, but isn't there a way a pic can be displayed without being able to click and copy onto a desktop or other device? I know that I have right clicked on certain pics for sale on sites before to save and blow up for a better look, but got a warning letting me know they were the sole property of the owner or artist and couldn't.
If this was a big deal to the artist, I'm sure he'd save his work in a way so everyday viewers wouldn't be able to make copies to begin with.
That's just my opinion though.
BTW... I'd go for the darker, brooding Crow style Sting. That second one has a lot going on and his signature, if done with a bright paint pen or silver Sharpie style pen, would pop a lot more on the darker image without all that color. Again, just my opinion.

Short and sweet, it's just common courtesy. EDIT: Now, I might be overthinking the OP's actions, but hopefully he does buy whichever piece he chooses. If not, then my vent still stands. |
