catsmother21 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 That's good to hear - what or who is the painting of? xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc-74 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 It's Micheal Stipe, The guy wants me to paint the cover of the REM live CD. It's going to be quite small, 30cmx30cm on canvas then mounted in a frame, it'll be that size so it'll look like a vinyl cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guntarded Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 This is awesome Marc! Can I ask what would you charge for such a commission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc-74 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Gonna charge him £200 for it, hope it comes out ok, It shouldn't be to hard as you can see from the cd cover i've posted,it's quite a simple flat picture. Mates rates would be a good few quid less than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules7 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 nice one Marc, can't wait to see it when your done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc-74 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Got an Idea for the painting, instead of framing it, what I migh do is, make an MDF box 30x30 and about 4-5cm deep and stick the canvas to it, and I wont paint the "REM, Live" on the front, I may do that down both sides instead.
