Who will repaint basses and guitars?

Sign in to disble this ad
hello everyone, i was thinking that i would like to get a guitar or bass (haven't decided yet) repainted to something in the the Fool's style of work ->




i got the idea from seeing the emily strange epiphone SG, which wasn't done by the Fool, but those swirly red and white lines gave me the idea




anybody know who could do a job like that?

Charlie

A lot of artists are willing to do it and experiment with other mediums.

I've yet to find an artist with a style I love other than Crash, but he wants $3000 for a piece, so I'm counting tha tout.

www.deviantart.com has alot of "interesting" artists, one of them would probably be willing to experiment with a new medium

I bet a few of my friends would be willing to do it for rather cheap, but, I haven't asked any of them yet, All the links below are personal friends of mine, I am not sure about their air-brush experience (although I suppose it could be done in colored pencil or sharpies) or even willingness to do this project but it can't hurt to ask them:

http://harusgirlfriend.deviantart.com/
http://kaitokuro1412.deviantart.com/
http://groodness.deviantart.com/

the first one has a verry fun sort of cartoony style
the second one does alot of stuff, but has a thing for dragons
and the third one does things mostly in either an invader zim style or a 2d Tim Burton type thing

hope this helps
