I need some opinions.
I'm going to buy some of my friend's works of art. The guy is going to be famous one day, I swear. I'm going to be paying 165 in total for them. Tell me, do you think it's worth it?
$65 dollars for this one

What sort of opinion are you seeking Big Sheep? They look very pleasing to the eye and I imagine that I could get lost mining the meanings. I prefer the second which seems to speak to me more. I have absolutely no art knowledge and I don't know if you will value my comments.
Well, do you think it's worth $165?
Australian Dollars - You bet! American Dollars? I haven't the slightest! I am not being very help Big Sheep and I really want to be....but I think USD are higher than Aussie.
My Mother bought an abstract piece that was $300.00 last week, and it's not nearly as good as those. Either she just got ripped off, or you're getting a good deal. I would say the latter -- whenever I see art like that in a store or something it's usually not as inexpensive as the deal you are getting.
Big that seems like a really good deal to me. The paintings look great. Go for it I say. If he does become famous it will be money well spent and if he doesn't you still have some really great art.
Wow they are amazing. I have the same problem though as other people here, if that was Australian dollars I'd go for it for sure! But I think $165 American dollars is about $240 Australian. Even still, I would, as they are absolutely fantastic and they seem to be a really decent size too
if you have the money, buy them.
if you have to choose ... well Sheep: which of them do YOU prefer? I certainly can't say that.

I don't know if they are worth buying but they certainly look interesting. Why don't you ask StLukesguild,? He's an art expert.
Don't particularly know the guy, actually. But these are definitely worth buying.
I like the 2nd one more. It's not even finished yet. But he posted a picture of just the wires and skulls, and at my suggestion, I told him to create and almost parasitic feel to it. It's not the first time he's been open to one of my suggestions. I just feel like I'm connected to the second one.
I associate skulls with death ... It isn't bad to think about death ... but, come on ... not Jan 1th! :sick:
:lol:
The other one has to do with time and mind. (Boredom, maybe?)
Tough decision, aye? :D Can't you keep both? ...
I'd find out how many hours he put into them...as far as I can tell, you are getting a really good deal. My friend sold a painting done from a picture (black and white, and it was painted on a rock) for $150, and I'd say that those pieces you got there are worth more (individually, even).
I almost feel bad for the guiy because I know he put more than $165 worth of time and effort into those paintings.
You should see some of his other works. They're just as trippy.
And I'm not trying to decide which ones I want, I want both. Paying for 165 for the real deal, son.
Just go to the Members List at the top of this page and check him out, he does quite a lot of painting and will give you the best advice of anyone on this forum.Quote:

It looks like you've already answered.
If you like them and have the money, why not support your friend and have something you like in your house? :)
