Viaje painting
 

My girlfriend/womanfriend/main squeeze/whatever...is a fairly accomplished artist and this last weekend decided to do a piece of cigar related goodness. I've taken a few pics along the process and I think it's just cool and wanted to share with you guys.

This is where it sits right now. Still some detail work to go, but looks pretty freakin' awesome to me.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Sweeeet!!

Re: Viaje painting
 

I'd say she is doing a mighty fine job...better hold on to her so you can keep that man cave stocked with more awesome pieces like this one!

Re: Viaje painting
 

Awesome!!!

Re: Viaje painting
 

Might we expect some giclee prints for sale?

Re: Viaje painting
 

very cool painting

Re: Viaje painting
 

The leaves on that turned out really good. She's a very good artist.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Right now the plan is for this original to go up on display in Burn (a B&M). If there is enough interest, we'll do a limited run of giclee prints numbered and signed. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the compliments though guys...she loves the praise!

Re: Viaje painting
 

Very nice work. The leaves look great.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Thanks for the compliments guys! I'll have to create my own profile on here although I smoke more of the infused than the regular ones (LOVE CAO's Karmasutrasplash...can't find it anymore though!!!)

Re: Viaje painting
 

Dani, if you do decide to sell prints, I'm on board. Great work on this.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Thanks Matt! Scott says you visit Burn quite a bit. I'll have it up there for a bit before I make some prints.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Yes it is!

Re: Viaje painting
 

I am so flattered by the complements you guys have towards my art :) I am looking to find a place to get the scan done to make prints. I have one more step of detail to add into the label pic... once it's done I will make sure to get pictures up.

Can't wait to start the next painting! I need to find the time!

Re: Viaje painting
 

I FINALLY got the Viaje done! Hopefully we will be taking it to Burn tonight for display :tu

Re: Viaje painting
 

AWESOME Work Dani! :tu

Here is a bigger version of that painting! So Awesome!

Re: Viaje painting
 

That looks great.

Re: Viaje painting
 

That looks sweet, Dani! Hopefully I'll get to see it in person shortly.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Yup, painting looked great! I have to get back into Burn now to take a pic of the :sl Scott hit me with. Had to run to work(I was a little late...:r:r)

Re: Viaje painting
 

Totally forgot about this. Thanks for posting the final pic. It looks fantastic and you should do more. I would love to see something with Skull & Bones in it. I bet you could sell these too because us Viaje Whores are hardcore nuts for anything Viaje.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Oh....it was just a little :sl glad to have had a chance to meet you.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Looks very good, she did great :tu

Re: Viaje painting
 

Thanks everyone! I guess I need to get approval from Viaje in order to make and sell prints. I will attemp to get that done.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Ok.....Andre at Viaje has given his blessing! We are super excited. He even hinted that he might be willing to sign some of the prints as well. We are doing an extremely limited run of Giclee (high quality re-prints) on canvas...numbered and signed by Dani (the artist) These will be sold directly as well as at a gallery.

We won't be doing a pre-order process, but because I love you guys....how many should I save for Cigar Asylum inmates? Pricing isn't set yet, but ballpark will be around $200 for a numbered/signed print on canvas. If we are able to get some signed by Andre, those few will, naturally, be a bit more.

Also, as a heads up, I've talked her in to doing another cigar related painting. Look for a San Cristobal parrot water-color to come soon.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Cigar prints would look great in my office where my humi is!

Re: Viaje painting
 

That is amazing work! Maybe more to come?

Re: Viaje painting
 

Yes! Like I mentioned before...it looks like the next work will be the San Cristobal parrot...in a watercolor. I'll have a thread started for that one too.

Re: Viaje painting
 

Looks good. How big are the prints going to be? Saw the price but not the size.

Re: Viaje painting
 

The original is 16" x 20". The prints will be true to the original.

Each print will come with a matched numbered certificate of authenticity signed by Dani as well.

Re: Viaje painting
 

I will looking forward to hearing the specifics when they are figured out. GREAT WORK!!!

Re: Viaje painting
 

Burn Cigars recently updated their website...Dani was excited that they used her Viaje painting.

The San Cristobal watercolor is also on display at Burn, but didn't make it on this picture. If you are in the Minneapolis area, go check them out!

Re: Viaje painting
 

Awesome, that frame looks good on it! Tell her congrats, job well done!
