[EXPLORER]

Might it possibly broaden the interested bidder audience if the auction also showed some of Glenn's other works,
perhaps some more pensive works like on Colorado Kid or Cold River?
Just a thought ... would love to see this reach it's maximum potential audience and $$$$

Very Good Idea!!! Maybe someone should post the link on the CD threads as well?


Just saying. Wouldn't be me cause I'm not trying to "run" up the price, but if someone else did it well, I'm not the "boss" of them!!!

[CurtSeattle]

I already have one from when I won this auction a couple of years back. It's awesome. Shows me in the desert a la The Gunslinger. Can just see the shadow of the tower on my weathered yet ruggedly handsome face. hahaha!

HA ... Like I don't have enough Chadbourne art already?? Nah, someone else needs to win this Wild Bill - the examples that the guys are posting only serve to exemplify why this prize can, in the hands of the right winner, be pretty darn special :cowboy:

[EXPLORER]

The examples that the guys are posting only serve to exemplify why this prize can, in the hands of the right winner, be pretty darn special :cowboy: So True. Really like seeing Chadbourne's range and varied abilities.

[bdwyer19]

Love it Grant! I've wanted to get a family portrait done by Chadbourne, but my wife adamantly refuses to have it on display anywhere.

[EXPLORER]

Very cool Grant...... Not sure my wife would want one hung in our home.... however I could always state in my will that it be displayed at my funeral!

[Randall Flagg]

Inside the coffin lid.

:emot-roflolmao:
