This is a new one. Get this. A client is refusing to pay the final payment for artwork they hired us to create, they want us to transfer ownership to them (which we refuse to do until fully paid as stated in our contract with them) Once ownership has been transferred they are now telling us...

:goodpost: Exactly. Different strokes for different folks.

I'm just guessing here, but I'm assuming that her labor rate plus overhead are less than a wrap company's. ($160 an hour, is that what you had?) So she may have fared better than you think.

I know of many projects that we have completed that were much more profitable to do by hand, especially when you consider the fact that this day and age you can charge a premium for the additional longevity and in some cases the exclusivity of getting things done by hand. The labor may be a bit...

Nice Jill. Looks like fun, and you captured that classic look and feel. :thumb:

I never really got the whole "industry standard" argument. It's not like you can't open and edit a butt load of different formats in DRAW, including the "industry standard" Not having Adobe has not prevented us from succeeding in this industry. To me the entire "get in line and follow what...

He once threatened to beat me up if we ever met in person. He probably could have. :omg: It's funny I can't even remember what the argument was about. He had a strong personality, and sometimes I can be a bit of an a$$. Of course as time went on we both acted as if there was no trivial argument...

:goodpost: I agree 100% The trick would be to find someone who straddles the fence and is a bit of both, and if you can't find one, have a Graphic Artist and a Fine Artist work together so a little bit of their counterpart rubs off on them. Not only would you want to allow them to learn from...

The name "atomic" and the bio-hazard image don't work together imo.

Hey Joe, Nova's Slow Dry Matte Liquid can be used for thinning and blending. Some are even using Pledge Floor Care for blending, believe it or not. However, we have found that it slows the drying process too much. We experimented with Pledge in one spot on a mural we did this year, when we...

Pontiac was one of the first Walldog meets to use Nova. That was in 09. All of the murals in the last few Walldog meets have been all painted with Nova, however in Pontiac about half of them were. We as a group were still warming up to the idea of painting with it. The rest were painted in...

I'm kind of not a huge fan of photos on wraps anyway, especially if lettering is sitting right on top of it. I think it distracts from the message, not that the flashing lights don't make it abundantly clear what the message is in this case. :ROFLMAO:

If it was good enough for Robocop, it's good enough for Detroit:

My problem with the article is that the author expects me to learn photoshop in order to be a designer. :Big Laugh In all seriousness, I feel like most people view design as simply an art. I believe design is as much a science as it is an art, and therefore like most other sciences your...

Here's the wire-frame. http://diazsignart.com/photos_to_post/Our_Volition_Compassion_High_Res_wire.jpg You don't necessarily vote, but you can rate each design 1-5 stars. Not that I'm expecting anyone to do this, but you have to signup on that site first, I think. Although it is a good forum...

I did do a bit of 3D work for the buildings and arches a little later on to help lay this out, but the original sketches were hand done, and most of the detail work on those buildings was done by creating a vanishing point in the Draw file and making good use of the perspective tool. LOL yeah...

Yes I had several different sketches throughout the process and the design changed a little as I went. I'm including the time it took to draw those in that 80 hour guesstimate too.

That's a tricky one to answer. I anticipated being asked this question, because I was asked that same question a bunch on the design I entered in the last contest they had. So I started keeping track but the farther I got into it, I began to realize how futile my efforts of tracking my time...

You should come to a Walldog meet then. You can get a hands on lesson. Thanks Craig, you know up here these things are out of code too. However since the city is involved, and since they see these as more than just advertisements but attractions, I've noticed they can become pretty skilled at...

Well it's designed in CorelDRAW. Then for this particular job we used a combination of an overhead projector and pounce patterns, the mural was too large and too many obstetrical were in the way to project the entire mural in one shot. So we pounced the border edges first and used snap lines...
