If the website is not being kept up to date, it’s doing more harm than good. People look everything up online these days and that’s what they’re going by. Even if the word of mouth is great… someone can hear about an artist, then go look at the website and decide the person that recommended the artist was just high at the time judging by the 2 year old inconsistencies they see online.

It’s easy enough now to upload pics to Facebook or something similar, that I would actually recommend pulling the website down and redirecting people to whatever online presence IS being kept up to date.

Sweet color work on that one!

My artist has photos of his artwork from no more recent than 2002, he doesn’t update it because he doesn’t want any more customers. I agree that it does more harm than good but for some people it’s not an issue. He’s financially secure, wish I was in that boat!

Not trying to criticize the work or the artists guys…. just saying I work in internet advertising/promotion and the worst “sin” is an outdated site. Better not to have a site, than one that’s years out of date.

Actually Facebook is great for artists. Their clients can friend them, take pics of the healed tatts and tag the artist. That’s some kick ass word of mouth/portfolio all in one.

I’ve never been a fan of color portraits, but holy shit…. I may have just changed my mind. The color use in that is fantastic. I love the background.

That is fucken primo. HST is/was a fucken legend. My next piece will be somehow HST related, just trying to figure out what I want. Thinking a Sugar Skull wearing the hat and shades with cigarette holder. Hopefully I can get someone that can pull it off as well as yours.
