Title: Pop-Monkey: Artist for hire, Art for sale!
Post by: popmonkey on March 19, 2009, 10:30:24 am
Hi, everybody!  I'm brand-new to these boards and it was recommended that I stop by here (by one of your own) and sort of pimp myself out.  I'm a freelance artist with several classic-arcade tribute pieces already under my belt, and more in the works.  I sell prints of my pieces and am available for hire to produce custom and specialty art.  If any of you would be interested in taking advantage of my talents or purchasing artwork from me, please get in touch and maybe we can work something out.

I'll post my arcade-themed works here so you can all see what I can do.
I'll also post links to various sites where you can see and purchase my work.

This first piece I'm attaching is my PAC-SAMURAI piece which is my interpretation of what could have been the original inspiration for PAC-MAN, pulled from ancient Japan.  Prints are available of this piece from me for $15 (shipping included).

And here's an illustration wherein I give all the characters from Q*BERT the ol' Pop-Monkey redesign.  Q*BERT was another arcade favorite from my youth!

Thanks for stopping by. This is a great place to get business. When I saw your Pacman-San piece, I posted it here without hesitation. I may be ordering a print soon.

We are always looking for more artists-for-hire around here, and I'm sure your post will earn you some more work.

Welcome!

I did order one of his prints (the Pac-Samurai) and it is a fantastic deal at that price.  Large print, quality paper, good ink, delivered quickly.  I can't recommend this guy's prints enough at that price.

Any questions or serious artwork requests need to be sent directly to Pop-Monkey. In case some of you have not noticed, he has not been here since his first four posts.
