Attention Carbon...this is for you my friend!!!

Thanks a lot Phil,

I did not keep an eye on the clock all the time while doing this, but more than 40 hours has definately been spend behind the desk with this one!
......If I make a mistake (and yes it does happen, but only I will know where to look for the mistake!) that cannot be hidden with more lines or by being made darker, there is nothing to do other than to start at a fresh beginning!
To avoid this happening there is only one method......stay focused, stay patient and never work on a drawing like this when you are tired.....and from my own first hand experience......keep your coffee mug at a distance!!!
It happened more than once for me that I have spilled or just got a tiny drop of coffee on a nearly finished drawing.....I learned from that

Best regards

At a car show in Denmark two years ago, I had a nearly finished drawing on a table together with my pen, so that people could see how the drawings were made......it was one of (Until then at least) the very best and most detailed Bugattis I had ever started to do as a drawing ( a 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante with chromed wire wheels) I was so proud of that drawing......then.....
A huge guy in a blue, very dirty, overall with oily hair and "copper grease" and brake fluids on his hands....walked over and looked at the drawing with a friend of his and said.....hey, it's brakes like these i was telling you about, while he planted his biggest and most oily finger ON my drawing leaving a nice mix of copper and used brake fluids in like the most detailed spot on the entire drawing.......I never showed half finished drawings at car shows since!!!

I have still not gotten over it and I am still thinking about making that drawing once again... takes time to get over such an experience!!!

 

I have now available a small limited serie of 50 pieces of "The Black Goddess" Enzo drawing which will be individually numbered in the lower left corner and offered at 20,- Euros each plus shipping to your destination!
Prints will only be sent out securely packed in tubes as uninsured mail, otherwise the shipping costs will be way more than the print itself!


If you are interested in obtaining one or more of the prints, don't hesitate to email me at [email protected] for further details!

I have already had a lot of interest for this one, but there is still a number left for sale.......don't wait too long if you want one, the print will not be available later!

PS. I have a lot of mails to answer these days, so please be patient with me .....I will answer your mails as soon as posible!

Best regards

Carsten

Hi Carbon,
You are sooo right, it's exactly the same thing.....the sad, frustrated and empty feeling inside, is all you got left after having worked very intense and very carefully on something truly unique,......and then all destroyed in a split second by some "respectless art ignorant"!!!
Almost like loosing a part of your soul, ....your ego.....a part of your life!
Yes, part of my soul and lots and lots of emotion goes into each and every one of my drawings.....they're like a part of my personality.....I guess that goes for all or most artists in this World!!

BTW: "The Black Goddess" has begun the loooong trip....she's on her way!!!

 

@Carbon,

I think YOU should open the tube yourself, and then have a look at the back of the original drawing before getting it framed.....you will easily spot the original from the others
I have added a few "pre-production" prints for your own use, and you could use them to show or give away for your friends if you do not want them to handle the original! What you want to do with the extra prints is up to you!
They have been noted on the back, but don't pay too much attention to that.....only a note if the prints should falll into "wrong hands".......you will know what I mean when you read the note!!! All of the pre-production prints are noted and numbered in the same way as yours, just so they will not be confused for the Limited edition prints and put up for sale by some "clever salesman" later on

 

Hi Todd;
You bet I'm ready,.....as ready as ever And looking very much forward to see the pics..... just remember the max. 10MB rule for sending me mails!!!

Best

LOL.... I can clearly imagine..... you in a white overall equipped with a face mask and rubber gloves locked away in a sterilized stainless steel laboratorie.....like an engineer at NASA doing some very important adustments to a state of the art super high technology lense for a next update on the "Hubble" telescope

 

Please....It's not THAT fragile!!!!
If you just take reasonable care not to have dirty or wet hands, that should do it!

 

LOL LOL.....
Actually those glasses are soooo freakin' cool
