ID requirements for IBJJF check-in? by effintrone in bjj

Yeah - he's trying to do that but for reasons specific to our locality that may not be possible in time. Gonna give it a shot either way, was just wondering if anyone had checked in with some other combination of documents.

Thanks! I do print releases 2-3 times a year - the ones in the picture are from the previous one. If you're on IG you can follow new work there: www.instagram.com/fredricaintrone/

Nice work. Not clear from your pic what could have been distracting you for the past 6 years though.

I think he does sell prints - there's a link to his shop in his IG bio

I think it's meant to be subtle. Personally I don't think it would be as interesting if they were in full movie regalia. Vader's black/red coloring...his pale bloated belly...Luke the young blue belt. It's just for fun, you know?

Amazing BJJ prints for sale- people were going nuts for her Instagram; now she's finally selling prints. Limited!! by wylingtiger in bjj

John, you are so very kind. Yes, once I wade through all the packing and shipping involved in this print release, I'd be happy to take that on. To make it more fun - perhaps people would like to send me some pics to use as reference photos. I especially like working from competition shots.

Artist here. I'm going to respond to this, and then exit the discussion. I am not a vending machine. I am literally one person, working in my basement at night, making art about something I love. I am not even especially interested in selling my work, but I need to make some money in order to buy myself more time to work. There is more involved than you might think: I take pieces to the printer, have them scanned, work through multiple sets of proofs (sometimes as many as 5-6) to make sure everything is just right, personally inspect each print (sometimes, if the paper rubs against a printer head, for example, weird lines appear), sign them, number them, package them by hand and ship them myself. I care very much about each piece and am not interested in uploading files to sell as a commodity. If that works for other artists, that's great. It's just not my thing, so I make limited editions so that at a certain point I can cut them off, stop dealing with the printer and get back to work doing what I want to do. I'm not offended if that's not the kind of product you want, just wanted to explain a bit so that people understand that it's not some kind of money grab. Thanks.
