A weird request

This nice guy who has been following me on fb for a long time just messaged me to inquire about prints for artwork I posted. He writes:

"A high resolution virtual file would be awesome and save you the time and shipping. I might try having it printed on metallic paper (with your permission)"

WTF????

What would you respond?

This is what I replied. What do you think?

Your request for a HD file is posing a bit of a question to me! Here is why:

Basically if I did that for every person who wanted a print of my art I would have to work at a pizza shop to sustain my art hobby (: well more likely an architectural firm! That is what I trained for!

I make a living from my art. It also took me years of trials and errors with printing to settle with what will have the best quality and results for my colors.

My preference would be that I do the printing for you

My prices go from US$27 (8x10 paper) and between $90 to $400 for canvas.

Let me know what you think. I hope you understand! I am open to discuss your ideas.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts 😀
