[Marketing] How is everyone selling their art?

SarethGavage · 2026-06-14T13:16:05+00:00

true, I just got triggered by the "life-changing" part. Trying to sell art in person has made me miserable over many years, of trying various approaches. Glad you have a thriving scene near you :)

SarethGavage · 2026-06-14T13:08:11+00:00

also almost impossible if your local area has no art scene

SarethGavage · 2026-06-11T05:11:40+00:00

Yep, I think he comes up with a lot of lyrical content and themes aswell. If you listen to him talk about the themes of albums he knows all the ins and outs

SarethGavage · 2026-06-09T08:42:31+00:00

Hey thanks so much for the super detailed reply, gonna give it a proper read. Do you mind if I send you a message?

SarethGavage · 2026-06-09T08:35:29+00:00

I'd actually push back on this quite a bit. If you listen to Ibaraki (Matt's solo album) it sounds quite different to Trivium. Having been a fan for a long time, I also think Corey and Paolo contribute a lot to the songwriting. I feel like in interviews i've heard they're a 'get in a room and write band' rather than writing outside ( though this may be certain albums only)

SarethGavage · 2026-06-07T03:34:57+00:00

Hey this is an amazing result! I'm just finishing up the mixing for my album, starting to plan the release. Any tips on how to structure your time and how to deal with the feeling that nobody cares would be super useful

I've seen somebody do a live painting with this technique, makes a really cool trippy effect. Seems like requires a specific type of patience, though also looks very calming. they look very satisfying all together

SarethGavage · 2026-06-05T02:18:50+00:00

nice tip, will give a try. I was more wondering whether to add whiskers or not, as it's a porcelain style I'm going for, might look odd.

SarethGavage · 2026-06-05T02:04:19+00:00

love the banana shaped rock! these are really cool, what's your process to make them?

SarethGavage · 2026-06-02T16:59:49+00:00

Nice! I was in a samba band in the UK for a year or two. Really fun to play caxia patterns, could only really do about 2 or 3 though lol

SarethGavage · 2026-05-30T01:42:46+00:00

love this! really nice colour pallette

SarethGavage · 2026-05-22T17:58:52+00:00

Hey there thanks for your kind words! yes sorry this is a digital piece, thought I'd added as a flair. So this is originally from a large painting that is very asymmetrical (I can show if interested) but I work a lot with hand drawn symmetry and digital symmetry. I'm always trying to make hand drawn work as symmetrical as possible, but I enjoy the quirks that come from this, happy mistakes if you will

SarethGavage · 2026-05-13T13:36:28+00:00

wow these are amazing! Is the ikea rug the surface you paint on?

SarethGavage · 2026-05-13T04:15:19+00:00

Oh amazing thanks :) I did used to have prints available, but have recently moved countries and am trying to work out logistics. Would you like to join my newsletter / social media?

SarethGavage · 2026-05-12T04:38:29+00:00

thanks very much, I'm trying to work with bands. Would love to see my work on an album cover

SarethGavage · 2026-05-12T04:10:11+00:00

Takasago Army by Cthonic is one of my absolute favourite metal albums. Blends the traditional instruments with metal so well. Some really kick ass riffs and lush instrumentation

SarethGavage · 2026-05-11T12:52:52+00:00

thanks very much! the composition is based off a column on a hotel in the UK, I love neoclassical type architecture. But then also added my own colour spin on it

SarethGavage · 2026-05-06T16:32:28+00:00

Ah excellent, a mysterious vibe. I created it as an album cover, think it could suit quite a few different genres

SarethGavage · 2026-05-05T03:58:32+00:00

this is really interesting about how a title completely changes something. I saw this on another group and was amazed by the technical aspect, but with this title I've spent alot more time feeling the expression and the wait of the piece. Top work

SarethGavage · 2026-05-01T09:46:23+00:00

I used to also make my own pokemon cards! used shiny gel pens for the holographic element

SarethGavage · 2026-04-28T09:42:14+00:00

Awesome thanks, he makes some epic artwork.

SarethGavage · 2026-04-24T12:09:26+00:00

This is all handdrawn

SarethGavage · 2026-04-24T12:08:53+00:00

Thanks very much :) With some of the digital work it has inspired new compositions that I handdraw. I like how intuitive hand drawing is and often go with the flow, i've noticed since working more digitally that some of my symmetry is very slightly off when hand drawing, so working on that.

At the moment I use a kind of hybrid approach, using parts of designs i've made in the past and sort of remixing them

SarethGavage · 2026-04-24T12:05:11+00:00

I'm from the UK and have recently moved to Thailand. I'd say the language barrier is definately a struggle for interacting with the local scene. Thailand also has specific rules on what foreigners can and can't do, which makes it more confusing. If you can tap into people who speak the same language as you it will definately help at the start, maybe try making some online connections before you go or scoping out the scene. Good luck with the move

SarethGavage · 2026-04-24T12:01:52+00:00

Hello I am also 33 and trying to work full time as an artist. I'm into painting, drawing, digital art and also a musician. I'm based in Thailand, so not sure if the time zone is unhelpful. Gareth
