"you know I'm only kidding here, right?"

Yes I know. Still, you should visit the Vue galleries more often..  The Poser guys will come along as the circumstances mature.

Edit: Nice definition of commercial. But I prefer my own, "something like Jack Vettriano"

"His original paintings now regularly fetch six figure prices, but he is thought to make more money from the sale of reproductions. According to The Guardian, he earns £500,000 a year in print royalties. Each year a new set of limited edition prints are published, and his most popular work, The Singing Butler (which does not actually show a butler singing), sells more posters and postcards than any other artist in the UK. On 21 April 2004 the original canvas of The Singing Butler sold at auction for £744,500 — in stark contrast to 1992 when Vettriano painted the picture and submitted it for inclusion in the Royal Academy summer show, only to be rejected."
