Description art from 2007, I actually got a daily deviation in my old account. I'm proud of this piece but I find it difficult to print through out the years.

Are you having issues with the contrast when you try to print it?

it depends, a lot of the issues are like scale, the actual image is like 10x18 and the ink just bleeds in between with this darker tone. And sometimes just lightening the image does work, but depends on the printer I use. Plus it's expensive to print anything

Yeah. I've also had problems trying to print darker illustrations like that. It almost requires back lighting.

just printed it out, and it came out beautiful..... FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS. HA! I think it has to do with smaller print size and bleeding in the purple color values.

Nice! Did you have it printed somewhere? Or did you get a fancy printer?

just a local print shop around the block. Very nice couple there was happy to at least pay attention to the print quality...... I would get an eye roll from most places hence why I never print any of my work.

Oh man. Yeah. That's super frustrating when people don't understand that subtlety. "Well it's on paper ain't it?"

well, and also it's bad business. Even when I did retail I could read a customer's emotions to know what not's the jack ass thing to say. I guess that happen when I was 14 and a clerk mocked me for buying Rob Liefeld comics.

haha. Seriously? What a dick. That's a person who seriously lacks any fulfillment in their life.

I think I've seen worse in my life time, I think it's more like people who lack that filter. I mean if it was me, I'd be more encouraging to get someone to buy something fun and exciting. "Oh you like that, you should give this a shot."
