BFAR Artist Brushes?
🕑 Added 2022-05-18 13:54:18 +0000 UTCHey gang,
Since I've trusted you to name the tools I build, and have mini-therapy sessions with you, I figured you might be interested in helping me make a decision.
I've been approached by a brush manufacturer who is interested in producing a limited line of BFAR artist brushes. They sent me some student grade samples and after destroying them I wasn't all that impressed but their premium line is significantly nicer and definitely interesting.
I'm conflicted; on one hand it sounds so cool to have your own brushes (Bob Ross did ;), I mean who wouldn't jump at the opportunity; just think of the bragging I'll get to do at my High School reunion ;) On the other, it feels a bit ridiculous and opportunistic and a capitalistic grab; I'm a conservator, not an artist and my use of and take on brushes is very different than that of artists.
So, braintrust, what say you? Feel free to elaborate in the comments.

If you do it, will you use the brushes yourself? If yes - go, if no - don't.
If you want to do it, then do it. If you think the product isn't good quality and having your name attached would lead people to buying a subpar product, then don't. (And yes, you DO have a big enough following that your name has clout).
