6 SOLD.jpg

I am so freaking excited! Yesterday on instagarbage someone messaged me saying if I wanted to have my art in their book of 'Money Defacers' I should send some files at 600 DPI, blah blah blah... I was like hmmmmm, tell me more? I mean, I haven't done more than one cartoon in 2018, so haven't been uploading new art to my insta...

This morning I woke up to him saying he actually went and looked at my art, and said he even wanted to buy some... I was like, okay you got my attention! I just moved across the country, and all my stuff is packed, but let me get on that right away! From there it was simply negotiating price and which ones he wanted... He said he could scan them on his end, for the book...

In the end, he selected 3 pieces for himself, for $100 USD... Then he said his girlfriend loved my art, and her birthday was coming up, so lemme get three more... We did the messages to confirm I had the right art, and have been clicking my heels together ever since... I mean, for context, I made 140 or so money art pieces last year, and sold about 10... So it feels like well-deserved karma... Not egotistical, just realistical...

KJU.jpg

This customer/publisher has good taste in art!! Of all the pieces I made last year, 'Fear And Loathing In North Korea' is maybe my absolute favorite... Lucky for him I didn't jack the price for sentimental reasons... Anyway, KJU is such an easy target, it is just lulz until he sends a tiny hitman after me...

GOD HATES FLAGS.jpg

'God Hates Flags' is another favorite of mine, this was such a great pun that it demanded to be doodled... Yankee doodled, no less! Don't put this poison shit down your gullet or you will pay... Your skin will turn orange and you will spout racist rhetoric and think you are saving the world... You will die alone and still wrong... Don't be a racist... If you live in racist places, don't become a product of your environment...

GREEDPEACE.jpg

I feel like he gets it! If I smell something funny in a big humanitarian organization, well here is what I do... Go for their public image! Hit 'em where it hurts! You can do propaganda, well say hello to my little BRAIN! I see your propaganda and raise you an adbust! It is called, 'Greedpeace'...

BILL COMES DUE.jpg

'The Bill Comes Due' is a Dr. Strange mashup with old George Washington... The original cartoon had George sitting on the toilet, but I thought for the moneyart it might be too much all at once... Enough to give him bug-eyes that are popping out of his head...

CZARBUCKS.jpg

Another personal favorite, 'Czarbucks Coffers' speaks to the beautiful harmony that runs the Russian mafia government... Did I say that? Who will be Putin me in my place? I actually have a little respect for old Vlad, as long as he doesn't send his goons after me... I will draw on your crypto ruble coin too, lulz...

LMAO.jpg

The last one he got was, 'Tank Guy'... I love how he picked the most potent ones, to go into the book... This one was on Chinese money, and don't ask my why I colored Mao green... I have also turned Mao into Mr. T and Colonel Sanders, but I haven't sold those yet, lol...

So celebrate with me! This is the best thing since Rick And Morty!!! It isn't so often that I have PURE, UNCUT GOOD NEWS... Pass it around, it will get you high af!

I guess these pieces of art are no longer available... If you want to get some of my moneyart for your own collection, why not check out my instagrab and see what you like? I will accept offers of crypto, or even honeybees... Lemme know!

Ah my comment got duplicated. Steemit seems kinda glitchy today... or maybe it's my net connection.

How are they done? Are they physical notes and you paint on them? What colour / material do you use? Or is it purely digital?

Here is a video I made of me drawing and painting one... And a damn good funk song!

Super cool!

Your art is very beautiful my friend but i think it should not counted in the form of money.please upvote and follow me friend

Freaking sweet man! Congrats and much RESPECT.

Awesome congrats on the sale! It must feel good!?

Badass on the sell, maybe word will get out and more people will want more and you can start jacking up the price.
:D

I love the dollar where the bill of rights is past due and its worth -1.

I don't wanna jack the price up though... I want everyone to start drawing cartoons on money, force the banks to recognize FIAT's inherent worthlessness... Meanwhile I want to get paid to brainstorm full time... If I had a team in a writer's room or a think tank situation, I could churn out Cosmic Propaganda designed to Esoterraform the earth!!

Actually making the fiat paper worth something by turning into original art, lol
What about making some 5-8 layer stincels on a mount so you can just pump them out with a couple cans of paint? make one stincel set, and pump out like 100 of each print, then you dont need a bunch of people just the learning curve of making the steincles and after that you could be mass producing quick. I use to do it with making slapp stickers we would rack from the usps. make a stincel and a single can you could make a couple hundred easily in a day. then spend the next month slapping them on top signs and mail boxes ect.
lol
Then you could charge 10 bucks a bill and pump out 100 of them in like 3 4 hours time printing them after designing and cutting out the stincle.
:D

This is great. I may try this once i can afford to! 🏆 good job

wow congratulations! I love it when this happens. Haha. Which reminds me, I have to get back to a client too. :D

Btw, you mean you really draw over the paper bills?

Of course! I did a few on fake money and they fell apart...

Oh I see. Ok then. 👍

Nice
