All oif the artists were paid the same. Whether it was me, Rafael, Cat, Randy, or anyone... everyone was paid the same $1.50 per card from Topps. It was up to the artist as to how much detail to put into their cards...
I plan on doing a lot less from now on so I CAN do more detailed cards.
I like your cards too  |

I don't think that Rapheal or any of the artists appreciate discussing financial topics in a public forum like this.

That might be true zhamlau, and if laws in America are similar to here in the UK then Topps would be in serious violation of labour laws  , but if you look at how well his 6 returns sold you can sleep a little more easily at night, and since he doesn't do commissions I think he does all this for vastly different reasons to most artists. He seems to be doing some concept artwork and design for movies (as far as I can make out), so I think his motivations were different, I don't think making a name for himself with 'little people' like us will do him any harm either  |

He only sold 4 online. Of course I would not know either.  |

No, im just commenting on the Hodges comment that ALL artists got 1.50 per sketch to draw for topps. If that is true, then that is what they payed kayanan...im just saying, that really doesnt seem right somehow. That seems unethical. I was merely commenting on the pay scale an artist told us. It just doenst wash for some reason. I mean, its like paying an interior designer 100 dollars to furnish your house with art...and you come back and your walls floors are lined with Chagalls and kandinskys. Its a GREAT deal if you only had to pay 100 bucks...but it doenst make sense when you think about what the final product was worth. Thats why the 375 , for 100,000 in sellable artwork...it just doenst make sense (the average of all his sketchs, averageing 400 dollars per sketch on ebay minimum). Thats seems like , in all honesty, a crime against the artists if its true...it so out of wack, i almost question it. |

But it is not Topps that is making the $100,000..............it's the dealers. Topps get less than $35 for a box INLCUDING a Kayanan.

yeah, but...1.50 to spend at least 2 hours MINIMUM per card...that doesnt make sense, does it? i mean, hey probably spent that 375 on materials. thats what seems odd.

lol, i also collect hockey cards, but i focused mostly on my favorite ex wing and flyers captain keith primeau. That was a great game, but god did the refs try to give it to edmonton...then the oilers had the balls to complain they got screwed.
