THE HORSE smokeout 8 chopoff

[Beaverslayer]

i only wish i could demand $1800.00 minimum for a seat and have a

1 1/2 year waiting list...

It's all about the name attached to the work. One day Beeza we will have that name as well, just keep doing what your doing. It only takes one sale to the right person, and viola....you will have the name required to charge that.

Beeze...you're talking that kind of money and spending it on tools?? I would be ordering a new fancy-shmancy computer..Oh, wait, that's a tool, too, isn't it?

One thing Beeze and David do that I really admire is the initial design work. Lettering like that is one of the hardest things to do (everyone is glancing at the scrap box and nodding!) and so is "pulling it all together" which both of you do well. David incorporated everything they wanted into the seat without making it look messy or silly. Not an easy job! (Ask any tattoo artist!) I hope to see it finished, too- don't forget a picture or 10, David! Nice!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. About the artwork on the seat.....the words The Horse ... that type face is from their magazine cover.... The cigar smoking horse .... that is a magazine trademark. The flamed smokeout type face is from an ad for the event. The eight ball was used on one of their posters and the chop off type face is from a poster they made.

I've been around advertising art long enough to know that clients like to see their artwork used and used and used... So my combination of all these elements was a clear case of pandering to a client's ego. I used a lot of familiar elements in a different layout to produce what I hope is a cohesive looking design on its own.

The seat is now laced and waiting for color.
