Heroes 4 Haiti: Auctions End

Yesterday those three pieces of art I auctioned to benefit the Haitian earthquake victims sold for a combined $163. Not a vast sum, but not too bad for a couple of drawings that were doing nothing but taking up space in my office. My thanks to those people who bid on them. The money will go to Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders).

It has been several years since I've sold my artwork on ebay. More than a decade ago, I used to sell my old color guides , but stopped when there was a glut. Maybe it is time to revisit the idea. I know that some artists draw images specifically to sell on ebay, or solicit commissions there. Anybody out there have any experience with that? Maybe it would be worthwhile to offer sketch commissions right here off my blog.

Something to consider...

Wonder Woman Day Art

This is a drawing I'm contributing to this year's Wonder Woman Day in Portland, Oregon on October 26th. It will be one of many fine pieces of art that will be auctioned to raise money for Domestic Violence Shelters and a Women's Crisis Line. Check out their website--it's a good cause, after all!

For this drawing, I pulled the old "Doc Martin's" transparent watercolors out of the closet. Haven't used them in ages (back in the old "color guides" era). Fun!

By the way, you should also check out Simon's nearly identical post on his blog. Identical, except that his art is better than mine! :)
