Create-a-thon Mashup!

My fans and collectors seem to like it when I do special events where I do a series of artworks and then auction them here on my blog. I have done “Paint-a-thons” and “Draw-a-thons” before, and I have done ‘Drawing-a-Day” auctions. I decided it was time to mash it up a bit and do something a little bit different.

This time, I am going to do a Create-a-thon Mashup!

What is a Create-a-thon Mashup you ask? Well, according to Dictionary.com, a mashup is: “a creative combination or mixing of content from different sources.” With that in mind, I am going to create a variety of artworks in different media, drawing on different sources, for a 12-hr time period.

In addition to the artworks created in the Create-a-thon, I will “mash up” an auction with the artworks created in the Create-a-thon, add in some already existing artworks, and make one big art event!

Here is how it will work:

I will create as many artworks as I can (paintings, drawings, collages, etc.) between 10 AM to 10 PM (EST) on Sunday, June 10, 2012. All of the artworks plus some already existing works will be posted for auction here on my website the following day (Monday, June 11, 2012). Bidding will conclude Wednesday, June 13, 2011 at 10 pm ET.
I will be posting photos of the works in progress throughout the Create-a-thon to Twitter and to Facebook. Follow the hashtag #bztatptg on Twitter for the latest.
I will donate 15% of all the proceeds to the Ohio Arts and Crafts Guild, an organization providing supports to artists throughout the state of Ohio.
Winning bidders will need to allow 4 weeks for shipping.

The Create-a-thon is a great way to find some affordable bargains on original artwork!

I hope you will join me for this special event. I promise to have some new and fresh images that have not been seen before as well as some favorite themes.

The Summer Party Paint-a-thon Auction is live!

The auction of the paintings created in yesterday’s Summer Party Paint-a-thon is now live, and these Party Animals are ready to liven up your home!

Each artwork has its own bidding page. Please do not leave bids in the comments of this post. Click on the images of the artwork below for which you’d like to bid. Simply leave your bid in the comments on the artwork’s bidding page, and keep checking back to see if others have made bids after you. There is a “Buy Now” option for each piece. You can buy the piece now for $125 as long as no bids have been made before you. Simply write BUY NOW in the comments and the piece is yours for $125 + shipping.

Bidding will conclude on Monday, August 22, 2011 with final bids closing at 10 pm EST.

I have a very nervous job, every day I felt stress, even when I was at home, I could not relax. I read about this Ativan Online medicine on diazepamshops.com and my doctor approved my choice.

10% of the auction proceeds will go to the Brennis Booth Medical Fund. You can donate to the fund without a purchase, if you would like, by using the Chip in widget in the left sidebar.

Thanks for your support of the auction. Happy bidding!

Summer Party Paint-a-Thon!

A few weeks ago, I posted about my artist friend, Brennis Booth, who had suffered a heart attack and had to have open heart surgery. I am glad to report that he is doing much better, and he is back to work most days of the week. His medical bills are coming in, however, and they are HUGE. A benefit to help Brennis is being held on August 25 to raise funds to help with his medical bills. I won’t be able to attend, because I will be out of town. I still want to do my part to help.

So I have decided to a 12-hr Summer Party Paint-a-Thon and donate a portion of the proceeds to Brennis’ Medical Fund. On Friday, Aug. 19, 2011, I will paint non-stop for 12 hours and create as many paintings as I can. Just to make it fun, I will make all the paintings have some kind of “Summer Party” theme. Don’t think, though, that this means I won’t paint animals. Critters can paw-ty down!

Here is how it will work:

I will paint as many paintings as I can between 10 AM to 10 PM (EST) on Friday, Aug. 19, 2011. All of the paintings will be posted for auction here on my website the following day (Saturday, Aug. 20). Bidding will conclude Monday, Aug. 22, 2011 at 10 pm EST.
I will be posting photos of the works in progress throughout the Paint-a-thon to Twitter and to Facebook. Follow the hashtag #bztatptg on Twitter for the latest.
Each painting will be approximately 10″ X 14″ on wood. There will be a $50 minimum bid on each painting. There will also be a $25 USA and $45 international shipping fee for each painting.
I will donate 10% of all the proceeds to the Brennis Booth Medical Fund.
Winning bidders will need to allow 4 weeks for shipping, as the painting will need hardware and other finishing before they can be shipped.

My paint-a-thons are a great way to find some affordable bargains on artwork that my never come around again.

I hope you will join me for this special event. I promise to have some new and fresh images that have not been seen before.
