ebay Art Auctions

Good idea, but it doesn't look like it worked for some reason. Here's the link you provided for others to click on:

huh. I could see it fine, but I guess it was just stuck in my cache. I went back and altered it so it can be seen.
I don't understand why postimage links can't be reposted as an image? I've given up dealing with that aggravating site. tinypic all the way.

Tiny pic works great or you can save the pic as an attachment under additional options

Tonight, January 10th, 2011,  i will put this sketch card up on ebay for a 5 day auction.

Nice sketch! Good luck Jay.

P.S. Just my 2 cents, but I find that auctions that end on Sunday thru Tues in the late eve do much better than other days & times. If you can, you may want to try a 7 day auction starting tonight, or a 5 day starting tomorrow rather than having it end on a Sat night.

[jaylynch]

Thanx for the tip.  But  I got too much stuff other stuff to do. It'll go up tonight at 11 est.

I think it looks great. There hasn't been many unique sketch cards lately so it's hard to say what it will fetch. I know of the color Blunder on now and the B&W Capt. I know people are waiting for OLDS2 and then there will be a furry again.

Octivia - ANS 7 final art

I wonder who that m***m person is? They have been buying a lot of art over the last few months.

[Gurgle]

But at some point after getting the soap in your eye you open it and see the throbbing blood vessels. That's the point in time I want to see captured for Wacky posterity. After all, what's the key to comedy?

My thoughts exactly. My hope was to draw that guy's eye so someone looking at it could almost feel it stinging.

Jay, you might want to add in that the sketch card is an artist return card for ANS7 so they know it's an official Topps card and don't think it's just a card stock you were using of your own design.

[jaylynch]

I can't figure out how to edit the text.  Here's the link.  Somebody ask me if it's an official ANS 7 sketch card....and I will answer yes.  and the answer will post on the page.  http://cgi.ebay.com/Wacky-Packages-Color-Sketch-Card-Jay-Lynch-Sore-Mel-/260720054636?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb420516c

It should be fine with the Topps copyright that is on the back -

I explored this concept last night just for the hell of it. Here's a couple of sketches I came up with.

The eye looks painful but the guy doesn't look too worked up over it. Like he's saying "oy! my eye hurts" instead of "AAAAHHH! MY FRIGGIN EYE!!!!!!!"

Hey Mark. I hope you don't mind me taking a whack at visualizing your character. I need excuses to get me to sit down and practice drawing and I thought this was a good subject.

No, I don't mind at all. It's fun to see how different artists interpret things.

[Campy]

OK, just wanted some feedback on this, I received this original from Topps and the question was asked what happened to the A by Plan9, well apparently it is stuck to the wax paper it was wrapped in. should I contact Topps to fix this?

[Plan 9]

Is the damaged letter the only problem or is there more that we can't see in the photos? That letter can be fixed. The artist himself might do it for you. Interesting that someone out there still uses press-on lettering for Wackys. Not a good way to go as we've seen from Saunders pieces.

I don't understand why postimage links can't be reposted as an image?

I was stumped by this once when I tried to move an image from one thread to another. I think I figured out the issue and how to do it.

This is the link to the image
http://s2.postimage.org/8ib79lgqr/Iris_Stings_Compare.jpg

When you click on the above link, it takes you to this link
http://postimage.org/image/1f3btzb50/

Neither of the above links works for posting images. You must go to the image itself, right click on it, select “Properties” and then highlight and copy the web address of the image. Doing that, you get this link, below. Notice this link is different than the other two. (yeah, I had a WTF moment)

http://s2.postimage.org/flj2p7map/Iris_Stings_Compare.jpg

This is the only link address of the three that works for posting an image. This technique works for transferring images from one post to another, and you can convert a non-expando image to an expando image if you want to, like I’ve done to Jay’s post above.

This guy only won two pieces going back as far as September. Octivia and Iris Stings.

I think he also bought some Halloween PC art. I think he bought about 6 or more since I've been watching the art auctions. How would you know he only bought those 2 pieces? If you look at feedback, Topps only leaves feedback if you leave it first.

except that didn't work....  I'll I see is a blue box with a question mark.
for whatever reason, it doesn't look like postimage links can be re-used to show images. just the link.

I checked through Topps feedback history. None of the feedback numbers matched going back to September. Maybe he doesn't ever leave feedback. Damn I hate this secrecy ebay puts on the bidders.

It shows for me, at least right now.

dunno what's up

I have been buying some of the originals lately and have been out bid by this M***M at the last minute. Just from what I have seen he has bought, Octiva, Stings, Wife Out, Stink, Shark, and Hide.

I wonder if he is the infamous Eric Roberts?

I thought that the random IDs that eBay displays on the bidding history were just that, "random".  How are you sure that M***M on one auction is the same M***M on a different auction?

[Campy]

Because the M***M has the transaction number and color star after it. 6891 transactions green star and it changes as your Ebay rating goes up.

That's as random as ebay gets. They only made each username random once. You can actually tell by looking at their feedback number and know it's the same person.

Not the dread Pirate Roberts?!?!? (said the guy who just watched PRINCESS BRIDE last weekend).

Thats what it looks like to me as well after poking around eBay for a few minutes.

Let's not start any rumors. Eric has no interest in modern Wackys and even if he did he'd only go for "A" titles.

[Plan 9]

No, I don't mind at all. It's fun to see how different artists interpret things.

Cool! Because I really wanted to take one more whack at this to see if I can do it.

For what it's worth, I like that one best of your three whacks. They're all very nicely rendered, but I prefer this reaction.

I'd lessen the mouth recede as it overpowers the eye. It makes him look like a zombie. If the top of your mouth is curling back like that then the bottom of your mouth is pulling up (and vice versa) so both would not be receding that dramatically. You can make both curl but you have to try to do so. If he was freaking out in pain I'd think only one end would curl.

I think what's distracting is that he's so toothy. I'd curl his lower lip over his teeth. Other than that I think this guy sells it.
