Money Making Schemes and Frustration
Just figured out that all of my art for sale was print only - and that I needed to rectify that situation pronto - people need Fletcher Artwork on coffee mugs, fridge magnets, puzzles and more…
The complete collection can be seen (and purchased) here.
I also just started a new painting - despite being up to my eyeballs in ‘Sovereignty’ related work - but hey, when the itch strikes, it must be obeyed…
It started out as a simple pencil sketch, but I’ve decided to get a little funky on this one, so I quickly traced the whole thing in permanent marker - and then a quick layer of acrylic wash. I want this one to be moody and dark, decayed and beat down to the point of the non-color of dust…
I’ve also been wracking my brains trying to get a Quicktime file of the film to the sound guy and the composer. @%^#$@%# Mac users - I can open just about every file that a Mac can, (except stupid Final Cut, and hay, Premiere can do everything that program can) why oh why can they not open a simple DV file? Didn’t Apple invent the Firewire and DV codec?? So, I just wasted hours trying to render out a QT file, smaller frame size, lower quality and bitrate but I still end up with a FOUR GIG file? One that looks ten times worse than the DV file?
Ugh. I could have been done with this 2 days ago. And before a flame war starts - until I can see a Mac user laser cut 1/4″ plastic on a laser cutter with AutoCad 2K or play me Half Life 2 deathmatch - I don’t wanna hear a @%^#$@%#! word. Read Maddox’s rant on Mac users here - its foul mouthed, but funny.
