[Albion] Kaoru Mitoma original painting

[louisecobboldart]

Just wanted to share that I’m open to offers on the original acrylic on canvas painting I created for the FA Cup SF programme cover. If you are interested or have any questions, please can you send me a DM or an email (art@louisecobbold.com). Thanks very much for letting me post on here, Louise

Just take it round to the players' entrance after the next home match. You can be sure of a spontaneous auction .....with the bids coming in yen

It's a fantastic painting and I'd love to own it, as most Albion supporters would, but I sense that
most fans would buy the new kit coming out (when I ask?) and stick "Mitoma" letters on the back rather than
buying art and hanging it up at home or whatever. But just my opinion. I hope it sells for you.

Karou might want it, or his mum …. Can’t think of anyone else

 

[jackanada]

yes, maybe

 

[Icy Gull]

That is an excellent painting

Thank you

There's an impressive amount of detail on that painting. Can I actually see contact lenses in place?!

Presume this is a joke that I don’t get. I’d love to get it for my daughter but highly unlikely I could afford it unfortunately. It’s a brilliant painting regardless of the fact it’s the original of the semi-final programme - a bit of historic Albion memorabilia right there…

How would you feel if you had bought one of Cucurella a year ago?

Pretty annoyed now he’s got that new haircut…

That's wonderful talent. This is excellent, I'm sure you could sell to commission. I hope that's part of your portfolio.

25 years ago, I commissioned a pair of paintings of the views from my then Yorkshire home. They cost me around £300 and I wish I had seen the artist's other work before I started that nonsense. They looked like somewhere from the Lake District on a cloudy day, you get what you paid for.

That is genuinely a cracking work there! Hats off to your obvious talent.

I'd maybe contact the club and get him to sign it, then auction it - and maybe say go halves on the final price with one half going to a charity of his choice?

If you can get publicity for it in Japan you could be quids in, as well as his charity!

Just a thought...

I would of sold it to Chelsea for £65m....

Only the painter signs an oil painting!

Take it to the players exit and get it signed when Mitoma walks out. Much simpler.

There’s a photo on Louise’s website of her and Robert Plant holding a watercolour she did of him. It was sold for charity. Robert had signed it (I couldn’t see his sig on the image or the mount; I imagine it was on the back?).

There’s also an image of Gazza and Steve Bull holding a painting (acrylic?) obviously done by Louise of them both playing for England. By their image, each of them had signed - large (in black pen/felt tip/similar). It’s not stated what happened to that piece - purely a guess, it was for Bull.

Fantastic picture . Well done .

So this artist is obliged to give away half her earnings because it's not a self-portrait?

That's a bit rich coming from someone who's ripped off a photographer's work for their avator without the slightest thought of any commission.

Bit of a knobby reply.

The idea was to get MORE for the painting, thus maximising the return for the artist.

Example : Sell it as is for, say, £500 - or get it signed, get Mitoma himself to promote it as it would benefit his chosen charity, and possibly get £5,000 for it instead. Go halves, and the artist has got FIVE TIMES what it would have been worth - then a charity also gets to benefit too. That's called a win/win.

For the record, if you're feeling all pompous about copyright, I suggest you contact the representatives of Heinrich Knerr (1862-1944) who famously painted that only portrait of Adolf Hitler in 1937 on your avatar. You owe him some money. You could also throw some money in the direction of the person who made the meme...
