Symphoid Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 So here's an update on some of my new designs. I've been experimenting with different bottles - beer, liquor, etc. A few of these are incomplete.    This was for a bar in town called Fishbones  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needle ninja Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 ...and I thought you just drank a lot of wine They look great and should make a good christmas gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Wow, man that is some serious artistic ability. Maybe you could not only sell them to bars, but also to alcohol companies that are looking to market their product as something different. It doesn't have to be alcohol either. I am sure bottled water companies might be all over this. Perhaps get to know someone who could show your art at an exhibit, using different shaped bottles, colors, etc... Â Beautiful.

Â Mdk Thanks Trance Y'know I've found some boutiques around here and some along the East Coast that seem very promising. I've got a great connection who is willing to help out, too.

Trance2MoveU Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Btw, I noticed that you're from Raleigh. I'm from Greensboro. I know it very well. When the Carolina Hurricanes first cane to NC, I would drive out there to see games. And if you didn't know, I-40 through there is under eternal construction.

Symphoid Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Earlier this week, I went back to the Fishbones bar and asked about the bottle I made them. I couldn't see it anywhere and wondered whether or not it still remained intact. It turns out that the bottle has to be hidden at certain hours of the day because people have tried to steal it What a funny compliment.

p(sy)ayam Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 maybe place a small light bulb or LED inside the bottle to light it up from inside !!! i don't know if it works tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEMO.BOFH Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 maybe place a small light bulb or LED inside the bottle to light it up from inside !!! i don't know if it works tho you could put them on the OUTSIDE and mold them inside clay or something, that would A W E S O M E - O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draeke Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 hello, i was trying to PM you but since your inbox is full i will post it here: Â which are still available ? they are absolutely amazing. Â i remember we mailed back and forth sometimes in the past but lost all the messages etc. Â i think u may have success here in milano where everything is about design really. u would sell probably. Â i may buy one and show it around how much was including shipping etc? Â different prices according to the complexity of the design? how resistant is the colour used? Â cheers!

Symphoid Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hey draeke and alleycat, you've resurfaced this thread...thanks  draeke, I haven't sold any for almost a year. I think most of the ones you see are still available.  The prices differ in accordance with the design, but not by much. I've done my best to prevent the bottles from scratching easily by layering a special clear matte several times between color additions. As far as shipping one to Italy, I'm really not sure how much it would be, but I imagine it could get pricey.  I've cleaned out my PM, if you have anymore questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzman Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Symphoid, those are some amazing creative skills you got, first your music and now this.. I have a suggestion, just if you didn't think of it.. If you have a hard time selling your artwork, why don't you start tattoo'ing? My brother is also really good at drawing, painting and stuff.. A couple of years ago he bought a tattoo machine, and started practising.. Now he's making REALLY good money. I believe you could make some amazing patterns and pictures if you practised a little...
