Painting day

Something you might not know about webcomic artist John Allison (me) is that he throws away 2/3 of paintings he does in blind fury. Here's one that made it to the blog, the foggy limbo between the wheelie bin and eBay. The price I've been able to sell things for on eBay has actually decreased steadily over the years, as my novelty declines and the market floods with the 6 paintings I have ever sold.



Yes it is painted on the bottom of a box and stands 57cm high. The exact same height as Gandhi! I would add that because I seem to do the exact same painting over and over again with only minor variations, the marketplace is right about me.

I didn't know you sold paintings on eBay. I'm quite tempted to buy one if there are any for sale.

Set us up with a Gibbous Moon and your people can talk to my people...

Speaking of Gibbous Moon, I received my "Ahoy Hoy!" book and my Gibbous Moon bonus postcard on Saturday!

Everything is awesome!

I'll start the bidding at one english pound and my Erin Winters...

There were only about 6 Gibbous Moons... and about 4 Erins! I see that once again I have flooded the market to my eternal detriment.

There were about a million Shelleys, 500,000 Amys, and a lot of The Boys and Easter Bells!

And Christophe, if you want a proper Gibbous Moon picture, drop me an email. I do A3 Copic marker sketches that are particularly nice, and single character paintings for a fixed price as per size.

I just got back from holidays to find Ahoy Hoy! and a postcard of Ms. Moon waiting for me.

Only 6? I feel special.
