WHAT KIND OF ART DO YOU THROW DOWN YOUR BUCKS FOR?

Reading: 100 %
Drinking: Chai Mate

WHAT. Would YOU want a painting or print of?

I'm trying to quickly pull together some prints and paintings for two art show/sale dates that I scored... like today hahaha.

I am in need of mega cash for an impending move to Vancouver/area. I paint fast, I will sell cheap (like not over $300 for big canvasses I don't know, and I do have some large canvasses). And prints can always be pretty cheap.

-The first of two art sales is a city summer festival where I got offered a table to hock my wares. This festival is mad street traffic busy so hopefully a good opportunity.

-The second is art space in the cafe I work at for a whole month (hopefully that sees some success too, but who knows really, our cafe is so CHILL)

BASICALLY I am looking for IDEAS, what pleases people's I WANT TO BUY ART senses? Subject matters? Cute animals being cute? Weird creepy monsters? Bad ass TOUGH animals? Nice Plants? Surreal? Just random shapes? People... that look cool? WHAT??? I will be hella greatful for any and all inputs.
I already have a few screenprints left over and may make some prints of older paintings. I just want something fressshhh to throw down to appeaseeeeee.

Something incredibly bizarre with cultural references that I'm interested in.

TOUGH ANIMALS BEING CUTE.

Tigers bears and wolves in Victorian school uniforms playing on riverbanks, as Headmaster Tigershark looks on knowingly.

but seriously, you can draw the shit out of tough animals, and I think those and monsters would probably sell the best. People be loving monsters.

Well...to be perfectly frank, T&A is pretty much guaranteed to grab interest. People spend lotsa cash on stuff with boobs in it

I don't know, but I like most of what you just come up with on your own tbh. I loved your sets, like the girl drinking & animals..people love animals a lot.

I would be sorely tempted by something containing unicorns. It's hard to go wrong with someone awesome riding a unicorn. Or just a unicorn being awesome.
