I have the Bat I and II ones, and the one of Meat's face, on my living room wall - she gave me them as gifts after I performed at both her and her husband Jeff's birthday bashes, and we've become good friends. In fact she was hoping to get one signed by Meat at the RAH show, but at the last minute, she and her husband couldn't make it :(

Still, there's always the arena tour... ;)

Well done Ali - the new one is coming along fantastically! :D

people - don't forget, that these take many, many hours of patience and hard work to make. :shock:

I couldn't do it, and probably neither could most of us here!

Just like to say thank's to everyone taking time to look at the picture's and for the lovely comment's. the last one is a bit more challenging tho, i've been doing it since the middle of Feb (8 month's so far). There is 184 different colour's in this one and the waistcoat is the hardest part.xx

Great work, Ali!!

I have a few albums covers that I painted a couple of years ago...was unsure about selling them as I wouldn't know where I stand on copyright...so if anyone wants to send money to my house...! :))
you will not even be able to enter them into a competition unless you have had permission first, why don't you post a pic of your paintings?

Jeanie

22 Oct 2006, 21:06

Good idea, Ali. :)
I would love to see pics of your paintings as well, Lucy. :))

I had a private msg last night, someone wanted to know if I would sell my pic's, of course I said NO! but out of curiosity I asked them how much they would pay for them.
Ihad reply back saying £15 - £20, I could not believe what i was seeing, I don't think some people realise how much these pictur'es cost.
The colour's for one album cover had cost me over £70, that's without the canvas, the mount, the frame and my time doing them.

Thank you for your kind comments...I've also done the "girl and guns" from WTTN, the WTTN cover, CHSIB full length down my wardrobe, VBO bat and I'm just doing Dead Ringer....

So if anyone has any requests I'll gladly do you one and sell it! :))

mszee

Lucy, are you doing our t-shirts???

LucyK!

04 Nov 2006, 16:04

Doing what to them...?!

mszee

04 Nov 2006, 16:08

Doing what to them...?!

I thought there was a thread about creating MLUKFC t-shirts? Didn't we have a go on this? I thought you were involved in that project?

LucyK!

04 Nov 2006, 16:09

If I am it won't involve me doing anything arty by hand I wouldn't think...

mszee

If I am it won't involve me doing anything arty by hand I wouldn't think...

Somehow that thread died down and went away...hmmm...

LucyK!

04 Nov 2006, 16:13

Indeed. The problem with having T-Shirts that are arty in terms of having an image on them, for example, is the issue of copyright...

I am pretty sure we've got a go on that...I remember Andy checking on that and saying that it's a go...have to find that thread now...

LucyK!

04 Nov 2006, 16:34

The go ahead that Andy got is for the MLUKFC logo - I was referring to the album cover artwork etc

mszee

04 Nov 2006, 17:41

I was actually talking about MLUKFC t-shirts

LucyK!

04 Nov 2006, 17:43

Ohh! Yes, we can use the MLUKFC logo, but that's it.

mszee

27 May 2007, 19:39

Before you say I did not do these they were done by Ali ( Firefly ) were posted as smaller images a while ago but Ali has asked me to post them again because they have now been signed by Sir Loaf himself who loved them and has asked for photos of them for his own collection.

Kodoz to you Ali, wonderful that you got them signed. Hopefully I can do the same in August. They are absolutely wonderful stitches. Actually don't want him to sign it, just see it so I can ship it to CA for him.
