Hello all!
Ok I am totally stoked about this and wanted the good people of SS.org to know as soon as poss! I have loved this guys art work for a while and really thought getting some work done by him woudl be way out reach for a mere mortal like myself! I am not sure how many of you know about Svee at Sveeart.co.uk but he is a very successful and well renowned Custom Graphic artist who specializes in Guitars artwork, including commissions for the ESP Custom shop.
Examples of his work are here:
So turns out he lives like 20 mins up the road from me so I figured fcuk it why not ask for a quote on some art work I been thinking about for my Sims Custom 7 string (see below, sorry not best pic)
Thinking he will be too busy and not bothered or interested by some joker like me asking to commission him for some work I emailed my ideas and that, in like 30 mins he had replied and is really excited by the idea so much so he is gonna throw in the prep work (grain filling/sealing etc) for free as he is so keen to crack on with it! haha! Couple of hours later my deposit is paid and hopefully will have a digital mock up of the planned work in the next few weeks or so, with the completed guitar some time poss toward end of Jan/early Feb. Only spoken on email but he seems a really nice guy and fact that some one of his obvious talent is so excited by my initial idea, just means I can't fcuking wait to see what he does with it and comes up with!
I really wanna let on what the design is but will save that for now and update the thread with the progress, in mean time I'll just say its a "Universal" design that will cover the entire body back and front, the headstock & the addition of pick up covers so there is more space for the art work as well
As ever cheers for letting me spill my excitement all over this forum like a 14 yr old watching his first Girl on Girl scene! Thanks for reading!
