Soooo after a lengthy and very informative conversation with Mike I have decided to sell the artwork at £250 each. My rational has changed after speaking with Mike, there is a lot of things I didn’t factor in. Anyway they are a one off piece you could never replicate any of them as you would never find the wood to do it, because quite frankly it’s gone, the artwork itself is totally original I handcrafted it using software. that might sound a bit strange that I use software to create art but the vast majority of art these days especially in digital media is created using software. It helps people like me who are not gifted artists to be all to realise and create something easily or should I say easier.The actual sculpting of course could be replicated precisely but like I said these are completely one-off pieces albeit in different woods. The problem is that any less than that would make them uncollectible based on the fact that I undersold them. And as I discussed with other people that make bespoke items no one would take you seriously, thinking you basically have someone in China making them for you and you're just a retailer. And quite frankly it wouldn't be worth my time to reproduce or sit down and do the creative side. So that is my rationale and I'm sticking with it, maybe I won't sell any and have to give them away to family and friends but hey that's life. I do know that some of my friends and a few of my family will be quite happy to have them as gifts.
