Unfortunately I think you were scammed, hallmark. You've obviously bought a fake. A Bob original wouldn't be all gussied up with that brown color around it because I couldn't find anything but white paint at the yard sale.hallmarkgrad wrote:Damn it!!! I just paid Bob 150.00 for a copy of his art

That's obviously somebody's example of neobob'ism.

Can you tell me why you are involved in the inflation of value for objects that were sold long ago, but now demand many times their real value in re-sale....?
Intrinsic value is amorphous and clouded by the price it will command when the right buyer (sucker) comes along.
That axiom is clearly defined in art, and almost any other objects or papers that are collectible.

... and I know what you're thinking, what art is he referring to? Well it's there allright it's just hard to see. It's four white squares all one after the other (one square more than Rothko even). And the artist (me) says the meaning to be found in it is that not everything which pretends to be art is always actually art.
No actually I think it must have been such an obvious concept that me and Mr. Straits both had no choice but to think of it.Damaged Eagle wrote:

Yes, it was my living because I was able to make enough money off of it to avoid having a job. But that's the only thing that qualified it as "work".W_T_M wrote:
Come on Bob....you DO work for a living.

The truth is that if I'd also had a day job (like some of my friends who were doing the same thing), I would have been doing it in my spare time for fun anyway which is what they did. When you can spend your days doing what amounts to a hobby, it really is not like actual work.
Also, I did it with so little overhead that it didn't have the same stress that so many other "self-employed" people have to cope with. I basically did it with a truck (which doubled as my personal vehicle) and a warehouse that I bought for cash for $6000 (which I sold for $18,000 when I quit) and nothing much else.

Very nice. Are you going to frame it?

I hope you're reading this, hallmark. As aethestically pleasing as it is, I think it would be a good idea to unload that original bob painting before it starts depreciating. lolSlicef18 wrote:When dealing in artwork in these values the selling and buying are looked at as investments that can be enjoyed. They do carry a risk of depreciating in value depending on social and monetary changes within society.

OK...but in my eyes, your self employment "hobby" equates to a job.

Nope, find something you LOVE doing and you'll never work a day in your life. That is SO, SO TRUE. I hear people complain nearly daily about their job, the countdown to retirement and I can't wrap my head around such a thing. I guess I've just been extremely lucky.
