Okay guys - this is a great start with very good feedback. I'll take your comments into our next line plan meeting and come back with the results.
Cool Chick and Joe - you guys nailed it. L.A. is a bizarre barometer from which to judge artwork, and while I have confidence here, nationwide, artwork is a much different story. Even worldwide.
Just this week, we found out Pepe Le Pew is hugely offensive in France. Now if our resident Frenchman, Aurel, had told me that
before we helped support a show in Paris, we wouldn't have egg on our faces. Oh well...
Moses: those images are, unfortunately, not what we're after. They have attraction, but we, as an art source with clientele such as who Cool Chick and Joe define, I'd hesitate against bared breasts and butt cracks. But thank you for the suggestion.
Blue: you're on target, but Art Frahm's fallen panty thing...I don't know...it hits a theme though which I like - what we're after is theme, story in imagery, and not unabashedly sexual. Like Joe and others have said, it's the mind that really unleashes the fantasy. That's what we're after.
All-in-all, this is in its infancy, and I wanted to run it by you guys first because of the demographics you hold in OT. It looks like I've already locked down an artist whose work I'll display in either this thread or a newer thread. One way or the other, I'll keep you apprised of all that happens. You've been a great help.
P.S.: Skip, Cool Chick - PM'd you guys.
Joe: tried to PM you too but your mailbox is full.
