Ask how much they're bidding

its in the image, the highest bid so far is 3.2 million

as for me I don't know about art and I can't cherish it like the people involved. For bless. for those who will love to travel to Israel check my signature .

Nope.

My good Lord,this is a sacrilege and a travesty to the genre of art. This shows how lazy the artist has gotten to draw something. Even digital artists are more serious online and can't try rubbish like this. Pay 3million for a rough sketch like that heck no even if i got that kind of cash. Scratch that make that never.

Lol... You don't know anything about art.. Kindly research about the Legendary (Yusuf Grillo) born 1934.. This is the least price i have seen his work being sold.. His works sells for millions

Some of his works

The Legendary Yusuf Grillo

You know what i don't find funny are people like you online who think they know it all about everyone. If you knew my artistic background you wouldn't make that "callous" statement about me not knowing anything about art which is quite ironic. It isn't a contest so i don't get what your big problem is. I don't really have to see things your way,okay and it was the OP who asked the question not you.

I didn't even take it serious that it was his work because of his level of detail in his finished works. If people want to pay for his doodle their cup of tea but i wouldn't. If not that the buyers are usually kept private i doubt it will be Nigerians bidding for it.

I am fully aware who Yusuf Grillo is and his contributions to Nigerian art. Yabatech dept of art doesn't pay homage to him for nothing. Thanks for the unnecessary lecture.

Apologies for my choice of words. My comment was instigated by your use of 'sacrilege, lazy' and alternatively placing the artist side by side with a digital work.

As much as I respect your opinion (which is free), your critique is no way objective. The idea and inspiration behind the work must be respected.

No problem,apology accepted. Art is art regardless of the form and can stand side by side because i do both. The computer doesn't create magic only the artist making use of it as a medium. That common saying "garbage in and garbage out" is very true. The only reason i could catch up so easily with digital art in the last 2years was my background in traditional art and architecture combined.

Walk into the art shops on Ojuelegba road or Iyana Ipaja under bridge the cost of oil and acrylic paints is over the roof thanks to higher fx rate if you aren't getting well remunerated fro your art. Online you can get the digital brush sets for free for Photoshop and the like to do the same thing saving cost. The only difference is digital is faster less messy and the turnaround for delivery using a digital tab to a client is much faster.

That poster from a graphic design point of view didn't clearly state to me it was done by Yusuf Grillo because i have only viewed his finished works just like you posted. That is really why i commented in that way. It doesn't change the fact about what the general direction of art is changing with the attitude nowadays. Less work or dedication but want the money and fame in a flash. It's all good though,the times we live in.
