Grand Vizeer Grimash XXI (U. Forge, StarDate 3371)
wax on silk

Not much is known about artist Upland Forge. Known for his demented forays into color theory and inventing the color "Bleen", this painting of his father-in-law was his last masterwork before vanishing into the Omega Barrier with nothing but a desk lamp and a tub of margarine.

VISITOR STATUS
4 1/2" x 9"

Kinda riding a wave of creative energy right now. I'd like to get this composition to a large oil canvas very soon. I certainly like the immigrant's vibe and the effect his eyes have on the viewer.

The Iceman Darteth

tuchow.jpg

This is my Mooktown Irregulars teammate, Bob. We call him Iceman because he's hits big darts when we need 'em.

He's a bit gruff, but that just makes him so damn cute.

AUCTION!: How Would You Like To Have.....

dinner.jpg

This is NOT a goof.

I'm auctioning a fun-filled day here in Decatur, Ga, with a goofy-ass cartoonist/painter (me) that includes (for that ONE lucky individual):

*An art lesson or two, if you like.
*Dinner at my favorite French restaurant. ($75-$125)
*Drinks at my favorite watering hole. ($50-?)
*Showing you around my favorite city in the world. (cost, no problem...)
*Owning your choice of any original oil painting from my studio. ($800-$1,100?)
*AND and an original color caricature of you that is yours to take home. ($100)

BIDS WILL BE POSTED ONLY AT THIS POST'S COMMENT THREAD. I WILL IGNORE PRIVATE OFFERS AT MY E-MAIL ADDRESS.

The only stipulation is you'll cover travel costs and hotel costs. I'll pay for any shipping the art may require.

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT for charity. It's just a wild idea I had and I wondered if there are any brave, art-loving souls out there looking for a fun adventure.

Bid will start at $200 (with $10 increments or higher) and run from tonight until midnight Thursday, April 3. I will notify highest bidder of the results and if that person is unable to follow through, then I'll take the next highest bidder, and so on....This is based on notification of highest bid being actually paid.

I'm curious what occurs.....aren't you?

Good luck!
