hi Darth Daddy,
thank you for your kind and fast reply!
I 'll have to ask Insidious Customs then if I could use his Juno in some artwork, but have no contact info about him... maybe you could introduce me? that would be a great help.
EDIT: just looked at your blog carefully and boy, there is every information I need
sorry for asking first before thinking.
And for Ysanne I'll have to ask you later this year...
but first I should explain what I am exactly looking for and define "collaboration"
You may have noticed that I am doing "painterly" composite arts using Hasbro action figures, model kits and photos of cosplayers.
I am mainly following my own ideas, asking customizers like you for their permission to use their build and help me by providing photo references, but I may be interesseted or inspired by customs introduced to me by its builder. So its some kind of circle with pushing and inspirating each other.
In both cases I use photographs of the "actors" or customs, deliverd by mail, or I am doing photo shootings with my own figures. So it doesnt matter in what country we live, its a matter of good photographs, exciting point-of-views, poses, light and so on. So its a collaboration of the cosplayer or customizer who supports me by sending in his photos, giving permission to use them in my own way and style and publish them in my networks.
the newest idea is - because I am mainly a traditional painter - to use action figures etc. in my personal oil paintings, and Juno and Ysanne are two personalities I would like to portrait using this technique. Its a very own way of mine and a lot of fun
Art
