So this week i finished a 24 x 24 commission that was sort of rendered by my appearance at the Carolina Beach Arts Festival. A Pelican Collage. Have you seen it before ? yes. Thing is it was for someone that I have to see on a daily basis and it was ‘scary’. He insisted on a substrate I was not sure would work – paper / cardboard. He didn’t want to hear a thing about canvas panels, birch wood substrates or anything that me, the artist, thought would be prudent….
In an effort to appease the client and in a ‘oh what the heck-throw caution to the wind- whatever’ mind set i did as he asked. Guess what?
It’s fine. He even gave me a ‘tip’ for doing it his way – $ 50.00 –
Moral of the story : Try it – it may get you something in addition to a happy client.
Love your collage and congrats on the sale. Great pelican.
