Would you be interested in buying this

[fancyginglass]

My son has started doing digital art - basically he is taking photos of local landmarks and putting his own spin on them adding different filters. This is only one of the versions he has created. If this was a landmark local to you would you buy a print?

I really like the idea of it, but this one is not to my taste, sorry. I'm sure it would suit plenty of others' though .

Not my thing

Looks good, but I prefer a more modern look though. He needs to play around with the colours more so it looks more modern and then I think it would have more of appeal

I like it. There’s an artist called Tracy Savage, this reminds me a little bit of her work.

I think it's ok, but a bit like a 1970s record sleeve. I don't think I'd buy this kind of thing as an artwork, but maybe printed on a bag, or coaster.

If it was somewhere of significance to me, yes, I would be interested. Particularly if it was somewhere not commonly the subject of artwork. I often look on eBay for pictures of obscure places I like, to no avail.

No not something I wold ever buy, looks like a cheap copy not sure how much you could charge for that to make it worthwhile.

I quite like it! So many rude people here

No sotty, I think it's dreadful.

Please don't ever become a teacher

No, I'd far prefer a b/w photo.

I think he should pursue his passion, but it seems like he has a strong fantasy/sci-fi kind of genre. He could perhaps look into tarot cards, contact publishers of games cards (Magic, et. al.) sci-fi books for covers, t-shirts, etc. I would ensure he has a thorough working knowledge of copyright and digital and hard publishing laws, reprints, etc. before agreeing to anything.

OP, would he consider people sending in their own pics and he digitises them?

Chambored yes, spot on!!

bonfireheart yes absolutely, this is one of the ideas we had.

I love it. I would definitely buy one if there was a connection to the subject for me.

I'm v local to the Pencil. It's not to my taste at all as it's very artificial looking. I'm not even a huge fan of black & white with a colour picked out so definitely not the target market.

Not to my taste either but I am sure there is a market for it. I’m like @Elphame in preferring original artwork, mostly paintings. And again, we never pay much for ours. The most expensive are a couple of paintings by an artist we found online, £60 each for 2 large paintings

Not something I would buy. I'm trying to put this nicely but you did ask for opinions. It's not very refined, it looks like something one of my kids would do playing with filters on my phone.

It looks very Lemony Snicket-esque, which is awesome.

I was going say YABU when I read your posts because generally i think digital art of photographed landmarks is lazy and they don't have anything unique about them .

However, then I opened the picture and really like it!

If your son is doing more than applying a filter or programmed transformation to it, then I think it really stands out and would encourage him to develop a skill by practising layering and image manipulation in photo editing suites.

For pictures where the seller has applied one or even multiple filters to it, then personally, no i wouldn't because anyone can do that. BUT that isn't to say there isn't a market for it!

I'd be more interested in seeing someone develop a skill and find their own unique style.

I would if it was of a local landmark, I think it looks great.

I really like it. There is a real market for local stuff like this where I live .

I like that, I'd buy that if it was a local landmark, or a landmark somewhere I liked visiting.

No I wouldn't.
