Art by me
Love Rothko. Have a large print of his in my master bath. His work is an inspiration, but I hope that there’s a large enough difference between his work and mine that it stays out of rip-off territory.
JonQPublik Yours are loads better, Rothko was a charlatan.

your work is so good. i’d bet if you hired a specialist in art branding, you could sell these pieces for 10-20X what you’re asking now.
Ten thousand winds is particularly beguiling. Love the blend of colour. Cool
These are excellent, Jon. I may look at getting a piece or two next year, mate 
@303abuser Honestly it feels fucking weird to put prices on things. Questioning worth and all. When I first brought stuff to the gallery they were like oh hell no, this should be $X. Trusted their opinions, and worked some compromises.
Over the past few months I’ve considered starting an etsy store (yet haven’t). Comparing abstract works of others (not prints) and their pricing and it leaves me feeling queasy. Granted, I think etsy pulls something like 20% from any sale, even with most prices seem wicked high.
JonQPublik i get that, i feel the same with music. i almost feel bad when someone pays more than the minimum price i have listed, a bit of imposter syndrome i think. ultimately art is like real estate, it’s worth what people are willing to pay.
i know someone who makes and sells simple geometric art (think protractor, sharpies, basic paints) with very minimal skill involved for as much or more than what you’re selling for. and he sells stuff all the time through facebook and instagram. that’s the basis for my comment, i don’t really know anything, but it’s obviously down to what you’re comfortable with. sometimes money ruins art too.
These are great - very very cool. Respect fella
This just sold today. Really freakin odd experience since I popped in the gallery for a chat to the attendant saying, “And here’s the artist!” I nearly moistened myself.

Did you knock up the elephant too?
Would look good in Tooting that.
Smallman1 Surely, you already have an elephant in the room, Ed?
Not sure what the elephant is/could be?
Elephant was found at an antique store. Don’t think it’s actually old. Probably originally from Pier One or the ilk, Made in China sticker on its belly. Suspect it was an incense burner or decorative lamp- found a lamp kit and voila
Still doing this thing, but pandemic fatigue got the better of me for about a year and a half. Never got covid (well, not yet), but creativity and motivation were seriously lacking. Firs gallery closed at the beginning of 2021, but I got into some other galleries since.
Things have been on the upswing for a few months, so here’s a recent sale and four new works at new places around Asheville.
