Auction Reminder: Sketch Edition #293 for Paul’s Baby
Posted September 28th, 2006 by Howard TaylerJust a quick reminder (and maybe an alert, since the blog wasn’t working right for the first announcement): The charity auction of Sketch Edition #293 will close at around 5:25pm Eastern Time today.
What’s the charity? We’re trying to make a dent in Paul Taylor’s medical expenses. He and his wife just brought home their first child, born prematurely, after a month in intensive care.
While it hasn’t been called out specifically in the auction, if the winning bid is over $200 I will include a piece of original marker-art of my choosing. If it’s over $300 I’ll take suggestions from the winning bidder as to what I’m going to draw (within reason – the picture must fit on a comic-book-sized “backer board” to ensure that it fits in the package with the book.)
I’ll be checking with Paul to see how big of a dent has been made by the various fund-raisers. We may put something else up on the auction block later.

Winning bid: US $202.50
I think that means rich0046 (whoever that is) gets extra artwork, but doesn’t get any say in what. Looking at the bid history, he seems to have bid $200, seen that “tokmeister” had already done that, and ten seconds later bid the extra increment.
Hmm… According to the recent comments list on this page, I’m the only person who’s commented on Blógünder Schlock in three days. And yet there were five in one thread the previous day. Huh.

Howard, if you’d like we can auction off the autographed/framed “The Blackness Between” cover that I’ve got hanging in my office. I’ll donate the framing cost if you’ll handle selling it and shipping it.
Let me know if you’re interested.

rbliss: I’ll be in touch if we need something like that. I’ve actually got a couple more of those, and may put an unframed (and therefore much easier to mail) one up on the block for Paul.

BTW, I think Chalain is willing to donate the cost of shipping and insurance (to US/Canada addresses at least) for the framed version.
