Neat Fishing Print!

Leech those are great I'm not sure which is my favorite. You definitely have talent.

[Surface Tension]

Leech, you must love your present job more then painting.

That pike is just plain sick.

Show us more please.

[LEECH21]

Alright, here's one more. This is my walleye painting. This was the first oil painting that I did. I took a few ideas off of another painting and added some of my own. I just wanted to see how good I actually was when I did this one

[sami0115]

your work is Awesome! i love the Pike and the Walleye is great too. i definately want to get some prints from you when they become availiable.

LEECH

email me, I have contacts in the printing industry. I could help you out.

$5000 for 500 prints is a liitle sttep, even if they're done on acid free paper.

[Chris Haley]

I just made a call and found out you could get these done for a LOT less than $5000. email me and we'll talk about price off line.

leech,

If you pursue the prints, please let me know when they'd be available to purchase, your work is great, I especially like the crappies. Also, I know you said it's hard to part with some of the work you have now, but if you paint another one with crappies, I'd be interested in an original.

Chris Haley and jamie you both have mail.

Are these guys sponser's to this HSOforum?

I thought you could only post HSOforum links if they were sponsers?

wazzup?

[jamie]

I tried to avoid that. So I just put up my e-mail address, not a link. I would have sent a private message but couldn't quite figure it out. I'm new here. I knew enough not to put up a direct link to my business. I know that isn't cool.

Thanks,

Jamie

Leech - Your work is awesome. My top vote goes to the crappies. After checking out what it costs to have quality prints done, feel free to email me if you need an investor to help with the initial costs. I think you really need to go to market with this stuff. jsmrekar at comcast dot net.

[Fortyniner]

Sponsor or not that is some fine work there dude. Crappies my favorite hands down....sh*t Id pay a couple hundo for a print like that.

[Casaloma]

Hey Leech21, Good Stuff.

Your best 'in' to making a couple of bucks off your passion is the World Wide Web. If you, or a friend, designs webpages then you could set up a gallery format & offer your wares 24/7/365. There is probably a college student here that would help on the cheap? You pay the hosting ( like $10 / Month ) and submit it to the major search engines. I have a friend who does this & I think you may be a better artist than him.? ( Sorry Tom ).

I think I now have a few good ideas on how much it(they) will cost to get made into prints. I am leaning more to getting the crappie print done first, as well as most others I believe. I have the numbers, now I just need to make sure I can sell enough prints "right off the bat" to cover the printing costs. Great idea about setting up a web page. I'll have to really check into that option. That is probably the hardest thing.....trying just to get my work out there for people to see.

[FOOT]

Leech21, glad to hear you are getting better quotes on creating prints. As I said, when we looked into it the cost was quite a bit higher.

I am still interested in the possibility of getting a bulk order of your prints. Can you send me your e-mail address?

[LEECH21]

Thats great FOOT. I'd love to sell a bunch in bulk to help with the printing costs. My email is jjserbus at yahoo dot com. Tell me what you have in mind.

I'm in for at least one. You do great work. Keep us up to date on when and where to buy them.

Thanks

Hmmm, where could you find a web site that sells things related to fishing? Oh wait a minute, I'm on one right now!

[Casaloma]

This is a far cry from a heavily ( or well ) marketed site. If LEECH21 wants, or could use, some info. regarding his talent he should jump the gun. I only wish there were more places like FM, & more people like Rick -Who's site is content rich & flash/media poor. Most websites browbeat you with ads to the point that you cant get a working color scheme for a State, muchless a favorite bay on 'Big V'. We must embrace a brothers talent....

PikeTipper I, for one, appreaciate your scar-casim.

Leach

Would you be interested in doing a commissioned painting? I'm wondering if you'd do a musky scene and sell me the original? Your stuff is awesome.

BrianF.

[Fergus Mor McErc]

Leech,....you need to paint full time. I especially like the walleye because it's one of your early pieces. Your ability to create a lifelike mood was already quite evident. The crappies, pike and bass are, in a word, splendid. You're truly blessed with a great talent.

[catchinwalleyes]

Leech,

Very nice paintings. The crappie is awesome. I would be interested in one if you had prints made.
