The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Well man, all that you must do is visit him if you haven't yet. I hope your Grandpa get better soon and you can share anything with me if you want.

Went to see him before work today. He's doing better than I feared, and it looks like he'll be out of the hospital by the end of the week.

<----- hasn't even sold art yet.

I bought those Ichorous tapes...what do you call that? You did do the artwork for that stuff...and I paid money for it, to that oddly hip dude at that shop in New York.

That is the worst thing anyone could spend money on.

I know. That shit's free, idiots.

My recommendation is to check eBay for suits and whatnot. And a suit can essentially double as a tuxedo, you just need to buy a tux shirt and a bow tie and a vest or cummerbund basically.

But yeah, check out eBay regularly and go for designer brands or store brands, as they can go surprisingly cheap, just make sure you find out what your measurements are (go to a store and have them fit you etc).

I got a Banana Republic Suit for $35 that retails for $300 or so, and a Hugo Boss suit for $31.99, and Hugo Boss suits usually retail at $795+ (http://store-us.hugoboss.com/HUGO-BOSS/Menswear/Suits/21100,en_US,sc.html).

Holy christ are you shitting me? I can't even afford a cheap suit.. but if this is legit.... I am actually excited!

Nope, no shitting being done at all

Here are the links to the auctions I won:

(I won both because I already had a bid on the Boss one before it ended, and I thought someone would outbid me, but thats not the case).

Haven't received the Boss on yet, but the BR one is awesome, just keep checking around eBay and you'll find something you like.

Goddamnit my cell phone has shut itself off and refuses to turn back on. I hate dealing with cell phone shops. Pleeeease fix yourself.

It's a Softbank 321G as if that means anything to anyone.

Take the battery out, put it back in and try again.

Does anyone know a great site to make a music sig?

.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Don't do a logo sig. Every fucker does a logo sig.

That's true, but I don't consider selling tapes of my sound stuff to be "selling my art" like selling a print or painting would be.

 

[Pessimism]

So, does anyone actually have any tales of their own art actually selling on deviantart.com? I'm tempted to make a site to try, but for some reason I have this idea that the site is primarily used for videogame fanart and creepy furry fantasy drawings...

Halp?

 

[Srontgorrth]

Given that you can sell prints of your artwork/photos and stuff through dA I'd say its worth a try.

Yeah, you misconstruing my point proves a lot

The visual art aspect of my albums is separate from the work I create that isn't for Ichorous...I guess. Kind of. Maybe not actually.

He used the Socratic Method on your ass, nig.

 

[Dak]

V5 has been lawyered.

 

[Onder]

I skipped few posts but V5 apparently admitted he sells bullshit for money.

EDIT: @Andy, hope I don't get you angry man

 

[Eligos]

Socrates is a fucking god in The Apology. Seriously, if you can get your hands on a translation, he fucking spanks his students and opponents with logic.

Wait, what? Pretty sure you misunderstood something I take my sound stuff very seriously, and, by extension, take the art I create for it seriously. I haven't though about it much, but I've never considered anything with the Ichorous logo/branding on it to be part of my portfolio of work I've done...

I don't know if this it is erroneous to think like this or not. I did create the cover art to the nonexistent "Wound Urge" album for a final project for class, though, and I've done stuff like this for liner notes, etc. so I guess it's more ingrained in my portfolio than I originally figured. So, basically, I disagree with what I originally said to WAIF.

Finally got the copy I ordered of House of Leaves in the mail, no more getting it at the library.
