metal profile whoring

shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
in Zocalo v2.0
I have about 3 weeks to go before I take off from Australia to go to Indonesia on a mission to help save some tropical coral reef ecosystems.

I need more cash to cover my arse whilst I'm there.

I need help.

I have :

1) L347 art skillz, esp vectors.
2) a Roland plotter/vinyl cutter which can cut really fine detailed stickers and general sign materials
3) access to a plasma cutter which can cut light guage air-shippable metal profiles
4) a good quality large format printing service, upto 1500mm (6ft) wide and over 10metres long (30 ft)

I could :

1) Make you any concievable bumper sticker you can think of.

2) Do your wingarts in full colour vinyl, as large as you like.

3) Cut your wingarts or any concievable metal profile you like in your choice of ferrous or non ferrous metals, aluminium being the cheapest to ship, easiest to work with your end.

4) Make metal profiles which you could easily turn into metallic origami models very easily

5) create you artwork and endproducts as profiles to your specs.

If you guys have any ideas and some spare dough for cool stuff, let me know.

cheers !

    Folks, SB is a very talented man who is now offering his skills to us. If I were you, I'd give it a thought! A wing-art badge would never be a bad way to spend a few bucks.

    hmm ill think about it got to see how i am doing next month...what is the price range for wing art?

    I've long wanted a metal [url=http://www.killbots.net/gallery/plastic/P1000573]vanship[/url], but I just don't have that kind of money. :(

    I second the request for pricing info on the wing art :)

    Also thinking not now but long term possibly two or three years down the road...I may need someone to produce storyboards for a script (heavy action involved, gun fights, artillery strikes, tank battles.)

    Is that something you might be interested in eventually?
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    that specific vanship would be a nightmare, you're right... bloody expensive to build, many many hours to draw up, cut and assemble, is it that specific one you want ? I know there are more.

    wingart - Im happy to take it in the a$$ price wise because I like doing them, a flat $40 USD is fine. For four/five hours work, that's cheap...

    as far as reproductions of that artwork outside of just the digital file, its dependent on what you want, in vinyls - 400mmx400mm or so - $100 or so and trust me, when it's often 12 colours plus, thats extortionately cheap, metal profiles would be about $200 or so, depending on exactly how I translate them to metals but they would look absolutely stunning.

    other processes attract other prices, just ask.

    storyboards ? perhaps, but at the moment, its the next 3 weeks I'm interested in earning in for the trip to Indonesia.

    do you have examples of vinyl vs metal?

    Sadly I am completely broke at the moment, else I'd definitely get another piece of wingart from you. Still love my current one, and another one, perhaps one in metal would be awesome....until I look at my bank account :(

    Yes, that's the specific one I want, and it's probably the simplest, too. One day, maybe...

    Johnny, vinyls are just flat, very bright bold colours. If I did stuff in metal, theres no point in metals unless its brushed or polished up, so you end up with a layered effect of varying metal colourations

    the links I posted have plenty of examples of my work

    Links?

    Perhaps you may want to consider reposting them here. They are notably absent from this thread.

    does that necklace come with the 'setting'? :p
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Some really cool stuff there, though as a fellow blacksmith, I have to complain at the "smithing" catalogue, not much blacksmithing there (as opposed to welding). ;)

    Guys, hes done some real quality work, if youve got the money dont hesitate to buy.
  • JohnnyOnTheSpotJohnnyOnTheSpot Banned by request
    Well like I said SB I have to see how I'm doing next month. I can tell you right now its going to be hard because its already November 16th and I'm broke again. :/

    But I'll let ya know.
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    Shadow Dancer - I'm sure Caroline would be flattered but...

    SHES MINE ! MINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINE ! :D
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    Messiah - Yeah I know... not easy to convince folks to buy stuff which is actually forged. I just call myself a modern smith. I make all sorts of stuff with the processes I have. An ancient blacksmith wouldn't give a damn about 'authentic' if you dumped them in the modern age.

    JOTS - oh well... I need the work/money before Dec 1st... :)
  • JohnnyOnTheSpotJohnnyOnTheSpot Banned by request
    Best I can do SB is December 1st this is when I get paid. :(
  • FreejackFreejack Jake the Not-so-Wise
    SB,

    What would a jewerly piece like that run?

  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    Sorry mate, thats exclusively Carolines... but I can make something similar, it is a long process making a pewter piece like that. I carve or sculpt a positive in resin or putty, then make a silicone mould, then pour a pewter final product. Materials cost is about $40. Everything else is labour. I put about 10 hrs into that Octo.

    lemme know what you think :)
