Opium

I thin Harpy would have been a better name than Diva

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:49:05 pm

red chamber dream

nah i think diva's hilarious

Opium

2012-03-24 08:49:10 pm

only $900? the guy's selling himself short.

a harpy would just be literally what she is

yeah it adds a comedy element for sure. I t ensures that the viewer not take it seriously.

like divas who think they're so great are like annoying parrots to everyone else

i don't really interpret it that way but it's one interpretation at least

arkarian

red chamber dream

but yeah, when i buy a house i'm certainly planning on getting some of his stuff, originals even

Opium

2012-03-24 08:51:30 pm

How much are they? What was $900? a lithograph?

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:51:55 pm

red chamber dream

no, the original (diva)

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:52:01 pm

red chamber dream

they're all different prices though iirc and you can buy prints

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:52:20 pm

red chamber dream

you're right that $900 for an original is a steal though

$900 is a coffee-house artist's asking price. He has a shitty agent, assuming he has one at all.

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:53:45 pm

red chamber dream

ah yeah see he's not selling the agadez original

he probably realizes how fucking good it is

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:53:53 pm

red chamber dream

yeah i know

maybe it's a small piece or something

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:54:20 pm

red chamber dream

most of his larger prints are like $350 which even seems a little low

Opium

2012-03-24 08:55:09 pm

Maybe his style just isn't catching on yet in the most fickle scene imaginable.

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:55:52 pm

red chamber dream

heh yeah no clue, i only know him from the mars volta which is admittedly a really popular band

arkarian

2012-03-24 08:56:02 pm

red chamber dream

so he's getting at least some attention from the mainstream

Opium

2012-03-24 08:56:43 pm

I don't get the art-scene, really. I swear the only thing that separates crap from genius is just someone who gets their ass kissed all the time simply declaring it so.
