Saint Gaudens drawing is finished...

Just finished the drawing and am ready to take orders. I will be away for the next two to three hours, so I will respond to any PMs, emails, or requests when I get back.

The full drawing is 11X14, just like the Brenner, and will be in a limited numbered hand signed series of 250 just like the Brenner.

Here's the finished work:

  • Very nice CC,

    Will it say Augustus Saint-Gaudens like the VDB print?

    Will it have his name on it? Well, that has been the subject of family debate, and I'll let the people here vote on it...voting has to end soon because I need to have the prints done.

    I'll link the voting thread here.

    TTT for the morning crew. A few in the past week mentioned that they had missed all the threads about the VDB drawing when it was first released. I want all to have their chance.

  • You are the farkin' MAN! I hope you make a bundle with your drawings ..... you have some serious talent. Have your recent sales of your drawings been your first attempt at selling them? You could cash in if you decided to step out of the numismatic area with your drawings.

    Yes, these two drawings are my first honest attempt at selling any of my art work. It has been quite overwhelming enjoying the appreciation of art in this crowd. I haven't even bothered with eBay yet, not sure how to list them...categories, etc.

    My next drawing will be stepping out of bounds on this series a bit, but will be related to money. I believe it will be a door buster of a drawing, something I have wanted to do for ten years now but never had the guts to try it. Now I do.

    As for stepping out of the numismatic market, I'm not sure I want to do that as of yet. I have a number of subjects waiting in line that I eventually want to get to, all of them are numismatically related. A friend of mine told me that I should finish a dozen of them then take a table at a national coin show and sell the prints. He said I'd make a mint at it. I'd like to see that happen, but I would need a little more confirmation first that it would work. Sounds good, but I'm not sure it would pan out for me. I'd love nothing more than to be able to exhibit my art to a crowd of thousands.

    CD,
    Definately wouldn't hurt to try. People never accomplish anything in life without a little effort. In your case, with your skills, piece of cake, IMO. We're the same folks here that frequent the shows. We love it and so will they.image

    I believe that your friend is correct! Your work is awesome and the folks at coin shows are the target group that would buy them!

    I listed both the Brenner and the Saint-Gaudens in their respective coin categories on eBay. Let's see how it turns out. Naturally, I had to up the price a bit to cover the eBay fees.

    Order placed. C.D.- another awesome work of art. I couldn't do that if you gave me a 5 year head start and did the first 1/2 for me. Just don't let this all get to your head and stop being coppercoins----I would be lost.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Excellent work. You could make a killing at shows with a portfolio of these. Or contract with a company like Whitman to sell them direct for you.
