I'll give you 100 Schrute Bucks and 17 Stanley Nickels.
In all honesty, this is awesome OP, keep up the good work.

What's the ratio of Stanley nickels to Shrute bucks?

The same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns.

Do they have to be spent at dunder mifflin, or can I use them as legal tender elsewhere?

I've seen hundreds of people doing this stuff at parks. They all look the same.

Typically they do, same with any sort of Renaissance Era Painting or Romantic Era Painting. This is was my first attempt at any sort of large scale piece, building the table and painting. The folks at parks are taking all of 4 minutes to throw something down on poster stock paper, sometimes other objects. I wish I had the speed and skill those guys do, I'm just starting out really

Learn to paint properly. Not this. My advice.

If by painting properly, you mean using a brush and canvass, i can assure you I know how to do that. I prefer spray paint as a medium, it's much more chaotic and random. If I were using a brush and canvass, I like to do acrylic on Black canvass (dyed gesso) The contrast is UNREAL and really allows you to create depth, especially since acrylic.

it depends on the piece, this one sold for $300, but I built the table and did the paint, thus the steep price. I live in northern Minnesota, but can ship world wide really

Yeah, I have been commisioned for a few things, never commissioned for a spray paint piece, what did you have in mind?

A table, about that size, fire, shadow, burned, that type of thing.

I'll figure something out fora ya! Though, the nature of this medium, it's kind of hard to do a mock up to see if it's what someone wants. Maybe, scour for a few pictures and put em on my profile to give me an Idea of what you would be looking for. I would hate to make something and then you not like it

Its a cool way to make a space like picture. Really easy too, I've made quite a few of these types of paintings myself.

it's so much fun taking the lids off and seeing the end product. My wife watched me do it and was stunned. She's gone with me to the train yard a few times as lookout, but hadnt been nearly as impressed as when she saw me do this one. I do want to hone my technique quite a bit, this is the first time i've done it on anything but poster stock paper.

It is honestly just really unoriginal, and the painting does not fit a vintage style table.

Sorry

My opinion is most likely insulting.

I don't take it as an insult, I built the table, I know it isn't necessarily complimentary to the space theme, but I'm not a carpenter either. The idea popped into my head after spending an embarrassing amount of money on spray paint and my wife made me do something with it.
