Paying it forward

I’ve been very lucky to have sold a few prints lately, so last night, whilst looking through my activities monitor, I noticed Billyboy getting all excited about selling a framed print to an anonymous buyer, and offering to lick them all over, bark excitedly and maybe hump their leg if they owned up…..he’s such a card…...I decided that I’d be in on that….lol!

I was in halftone-mode at the time, and asked if that was the reward to anyone who bought that image….and he replied in the affirmative. Being in a good mood, I decided that the print of New York from the Empire State Building would be an excellent addition to my collection of works by Redbubble artists, since Scott and I had visited in 1998, and our view from the Empire State building had been marred by smog. Bill’s image will help us remember that fabulous trip.

Whilst I was in a buying mood, I decided it was time to buy a genuine Paul Vanzella print….my first!! Singapore Cityscape had to be the choice, since Scott and I visited there in 1981, so this would be another fantastic way to help recall our journeys.

I can’t wait to see both these images in print, I know for a fact the screen will never do justice to the prints, and no doubt we’ll all be checking them out closely for the landmarks we remember.

I’ve ordered both large prints in black frame with black mat, so looking forward to seeing them!

So thanks, to the buyers of my images, who have spurred me onto paying it forward, and buying other’s art, and thanks to Bill and Paul!!!! I’ll claim the leg hump in another life, no doubt :) Gotta love the bub.

    What a wonderful way to remember your trips, and Bill will be over the moon, Mel. I have no doubt you’ll enjoy your purchases, and you havwe given Bill and Paul the best accolades an artist can be given – to have their worked purchased.

    I want you to know you are under no obligation to hump my leg even though I bought one of your prints. I have a border collie for that sorta thing…
