Need an opinion from some folks who would have a better idea than me at this point of what to charge for a piece of art.

I know at least three of you have seen my dragon print that I did way back in 1991 (Clue, you were there when I inked the little bugger in Carol's Texas apt.).

I have a trucker friend who's interested in buying a print of it to take to a friend as a tattoo pattern. I know he's the type to keep his word when he says he'll destroy the print once the tattoo is on, and not leave a copy for the tattoist to reuse.

Question is...how much should I charge him for the print? And...any other thoughts from the art-selling savvy amoungst you?

AND! If you don't value your art, who will? Don't think of it as just a xerox print.

I always ask $100 when anyone offers to buy a piece of mine; $200 if it was a complicated piece. Most of the time, they pay it too. Something about paying "real" money makes it "real" art to people. If they counteroffer, we go from there.
