mmmmmmuuusst resist

*ok, can't resist*

where is it? wherrrrrreee

[jamesreeve5]

lol... you guys keep freerange too busy defending dface on all those other threads!

looks to me like he was blowing smoke up our asses... would be funny to see this thing stay on the main page for a couple of weeks though!

[bullet]

nah i will do it.

if you want to know the geeky reason why i haven't, its because my version of illustrator at home has not got the correct filters and plug ins for it and at work i cant be fiddling with some dude on a surf board when im meant to be fiddling with some fmcg.

lol, so which plug-ins and filters might those be then? Just out of interest of course I've got pre3tty much every PS/lllustrator filter known to man so let me know, I might have a crack myself!

[Gentle Mental]

wouldn't it be easier to comp a nose ring and a mohawk on a black and white image of the queen?

[Gentle Mental]

;D look ma, no filters. 5 minutes.

[jamesreeve5]

every day I wake up and check this thread, and every day I'm disappointed!

[bullet]

OK, i read that no joke and just did this before i go to the pub... will do it in stages to show you how to do it... this is 40% done and it took 10 mins



you build it up in layers almost like a screen print... will do some more on tuesday as ive got the weekend off...bet the suspense is killing people...

i will do a run of 20 of them at £5 each and the money made will go to the charity of choice, just crappy A3 work prints obviously, might get some thick paper... with watermark obviously

im then going to open a website and sell them at $45 and get my nan to sign them and then while my dog is designing the other ones, im going to be off DJ'ing and living it up pretending i love obama.
;D

FR you need to look at the shep print more closely, this looks live traced, in the shep version look at the water, it's for sure drawn by hand in illustrator with the pen tool. Granted areas of shep's white water looks a tad "filtered" but look closely there is definetely hand drawn elements.

typical response to it... a client would say have you tried...and designer would say its not finished yet

wait til the final thing...

[Karl Read]

You forget im a designer to mate, Oh and a true designer wouldnt show a work in progress.
Only pullin ya leg.

[jamesreeve5]

regardless of how long its taken you to do this, its nice to see you starting work freerange

Schadenfreude is the only way I can explain my excitement for this... either freerange or fairey gets called out as a blowhard. If freerange produces something of comparable quality, then all the fairey bagholders get on their pulpits in a sad effort to defend their hero and the value of their personal collections. BUT, if freerange makes something that is total crap, then its just like adding fuel to the fire of all the members who already dislike the guy...

As someone who has no side to take on this, I can only say it looks like its going to be a win-win for entertainment

this is going to be a classic thread!

[bullet]

ha... sorry yeah... just thought it would be good to show people the process as it goes in stages. Many people forget that prints are done in this way as well, it only comes together at the end... muahahahaaaa

Yeah if FR comes up with something similar in this thread (which i very much doubt) im shitting myself my fairey collection is gonna drop in value!

[bullet]

we will see, yee of little faith ;D

the finished thing will look just like the real thing, i will wear a tutu at the next dface exhibition if i fail

[Karl Read]

Just for reference then:

[artstylee]

tight print, probably looks better in person. Hopeully the dark blues are dark for depth.

I wasn't talking monetary, I was talking personal value which doesn't move in "drops" and "pops"(I think a force larger than freerange would be needed to change cash value of entire collections)... but it's telling that monetary is the first thing you would assume when I use a vague term like "value"

Alright, I'm off this thread, will be back later to check for any updates!

This is actually the original but i think the print will still have loads of depth.

OH NOES! i'm not only scared of that, but what happens when someone imitates paintings like my Modrians that's just straight lines painted in different colors? my Modrians are going to be worthless! what if someone buys a urinal and puts it in a gallery? there goes value in my Duchampp! And if someone pulls down their light tubes and makes sculptures with them...I have to sell my Flavins now. and i can't even think about my massive Freud collection....millions of art school students are able to paint like this geezer.

thank you for bringing this to my attention. i must reevaluate my collection now.
