Bear Eating a Hand Update

I said previously that I was planning to work a little more on this auction painting of a bear eating a hand, and what do you know, I did. Here’s a not-super-great iPhone photo of it. And it can be yours!

Tonight at midnight the Publishing for Minnesota auction begins, and lasts until 11:45 pm EST on Friday the 30th. Holy moly, did they get a lot of amazing donations.

Oh, like:

• PB critique with literary genius editor Mabel Hsu

• Signed 1st Editions from THE SUZANNE COLLINS of Hunger Games

• Original penciled and inked Action Comics #664 page by legendary artist Bob McLeod!

• Social media collab with THE Mychal Threets

• AMA with Alvina Ling, VP & Editor-in Chief at Little Brown Books for Young Readers or AMA with Connie Hsu, VP & Executive Editorial Director at Roaring Brook Press (when else are you gonna get the opportunity to talk to a VP?)

• 1 hour Portfolio Review with Anoosha Syed (THIS IS USUALLY $350 AND IT’S CURRENTLY $25!) or 1 hour Portfolio Review with legendary Claire Keane!

• The ORIGINAL cover art of Shawn Harris’ Caldecott Winning Book

• Original collage from Jess Hannigan

• A huge original painting from Monica Arnaldo

• Amazing dog painting from Marianna Coppo

• Intricate original collage art from Vikki Chu

I already have my eye on a couple of those so back off.
