Micrashed Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Its changed a bit since 95. The garage is now a bedroom for sprog number 1 (2 and 3 sleep upstairs). Many thanks and dont be rushing with that other one.
vulgalour Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Further estate agent shenanigans means I need to do something about fundraising yet again! Not happy but there we go. I'm offering a maximum of 5 ink-and-watercolour images with a 50% discount for anyone that might be interested in this sort of thing. I need to raise about £100 by the end of the week if I'm to comfortably meet the extra costs incurred and this, seemingly, is the only way I can work out to do it. Just one minor little caveat: I can't start work on these special-rate commissions until after I've moved, which will hopefully be no later than the end of this week, though I don't hold my breath with the current estate agent.
Micrashed Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Aye.Go on for that price I'll have another then VA. A variation on the theme, so it wont be a mahoosive challenge ( you could even trace the other one for most bits....)
vulgalour Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Do I need to re-send e-mail and payment details to you? No worries if so, I'll just buzz an e-mail off.
Micrashed Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 No, I have them - Im just at work at the mo so will sort it out when I get home later.
Cavcraft Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I'm well out of the loop here obviously, but I though you'd a had a fire auction and moved house now with what you raised?
vulgalour Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 @MrBenn: PM me your e-mail and I'll send you some details. @Corsaviour: All was good... then the process dragged on and living here is just destroying me financially since Mum died so I've had to do the whole fugging thing again. Some progress has been made with the estate agents, they changed it to Let Agreed on their website, but we're still chasing them daily and still doing their fugging job for them while we wait for a date. I am mostly very cross and could do without it all tbh. Cavcraft 1

bub2006 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 May i enquire why you requested a photo of my bike angyl? Don't recall hearing anymore since you asked for a photo. Top artistic skills by the way.
vulgalour Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 I had this idea for a Bow Wow Wow picture featuring three scooters... it didn't work as well on paper as it did in my head first time around. I'm going to give it another go at some point though.
Minimad5 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Would love to see a sketch of a Lada Riva on Lancia Beta Montecarlo alloys.If the sketch looks as good as the others, i may invest some 'coin' for a nice quality ink / watercolour
vulgalour Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 I can assure you a sketch would look as good as any other picture I've done, that's what the thread is about. Haven't got the time to be making stuff on-spec at the moment, the books are nearly bursting at the seams after the recent burst of commissions taken on both regular and discount. Maybe in the future I'll do a Riva, but not right now, not unless it's paid for, and even then not until after I've moved house. Minimad5 1
vulgalour Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Tayne, Micrashed and MrBenn all secured slots on what is possibly the shortest sale in the history of ever before the income required materialised from an ultra generous source which shall remain unidentified unless they wish to out themselves. Suffice to say, the forum and its members continue to be surpremely generous, I can only hope that I repay such generosity somehow, I imagine I must for it to be offered in the first place.
Micrashed Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Paypal Ahoy!Now that I have finally got home from the pit of darkness that is work.
vulgalour Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 *just* received it. With more thanks. While this does a fantastic job of restoring my faith in humanity, it'll only take one drive to a supermarket to DESTROY it.
vulgalour Posted August 27, 2014 Author Posted August 27, 2014 Right, it's been a while but here I am with a fresh update in the form of this commissioned piece of a Wolseley 18-22. It really is, don't be fooled by the 'incorrect' grille and bonnet. This particular car was the badge and styling mule so it wore different faces and badges and is presently in it's most recent incarnation and how it's been for quite some time. Gorgeous thing it is, very well pampered, and deliciously orange. brickwall, Micrashed, Wilko220 and 7 others 10
Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Philosophical question: The drawing is of a Wolseley 18-22 but the wolseley-specific identifying features are not there. Therefore how can I be really sure that its not a drawing of an ordinary Princess being touted as a drawing of a Woolus?? Not that I am suggesting you would attempt such below-the-belt tactics Vulg. Wilko220 1
vulgalour Posted August 27, 2014 Author Posted August 27, 2014 There's a Wolseley badge on the grille, Wolseley script on the C pillar and red centre caps on the wheel trims, all key identifying features.... but they're so small you'll likely have to take my word for it.
Cheggers Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 That's a cracking piece of work, you've really got the perspective right. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
fordperv Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I think vulg has made a ringer lovely picture as per usual
vulgalour Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 Quite surprising that it's been a whole month since I last updated this, there are things to add, as you shall see.. I've found the topic of commissions is diversifying very nicely of late, I do like variety and that's just what I've been getting. Here's a picture of some tropical fish completed in watercolour, ink and acrylic. I don't often draw fish. Sloth in a bowl 1
vulgalour Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 Another commission, this one to a tight deadline for a birthday. The original is A3 but the scanner has been less than gracious about the colours, something I need to look into because it's making some pieces look sub standard. Anyway, this is of an actual Triumph Herald that has recently been restored and, for some reason, inspiration decided it should be set in Magic Roundabout land. The intended recipient was delighted with it, his exact response to the picture on receiving it was "sick". I think that means I did good. Cheggers, fordperv, Essex V6 and 2 others 5
vulgalour Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 First prize in the Tombola went to Semi-C and he requested a Mazda 929 estate. I was more than happy to oblige. The only problem here is that the scanner seemed totally unable to see the colours properly and the end result is a bit odd... but it is what it is and Semi-C will get the original which will look even better than this.

vulgalour Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 To get everything up to speed, here's a silly picture I was commissioned to do of a tiger zooming around on a John Deere Gator. This was commissioned by a friend who had started working on a golf course, this is mostly what he did all day, now he's a self-employed gardener in Maidstone, Kent. If you have a garden that wants sorting, give him a call (I'm happy to forward details to him). I reckon he should get a van and have it vinyl wrapped with this picture. Everyone would remember who he was. Mr Livered, Essex V6, Cheggers and 4 others 7
Mr Livered Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I reckon he should get a van and have it vinyl wrapped with this picture. Everyone would remember who he was.That, in all seriousness, is a good idea. Whilst all the other gardeners in the area, if they have signwritten vans at all, probably just have their name and phone number or whatever, he would have something that really stuck in people's minds.
Micrashed Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 That reminds me I still need to find something to sketch for the commision piece. The Hospice liked the east view you did, they have had it framed up properly now rather than the cheapo one i lobbed it in.
vulgalour Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 That would be this one. Thought I'd already put it in the thread but hadn't. I'm delighted that they like the inked piece so much, and flattered too. I checked the records too and Purplebargeken hasn't made contact or replied to my PM regarding his prize from the tombola. If anyone else can poke him into responsiveness I'd appreciate it, I'd like to honour my side of the deal on that one. Micrashed, brickwall and Skizzer 3
