I did do another version of this without the truck and looking from the perspective in the room, behind the bike and looking down the road into the mural, with the forest and red sky above. I felt this version was better having the truck in it and looking out from inside the mural so as to blend the reality with the fantasy.
There is a bit of simplicity to it but the photos here and on ebay are too small to really see the details fully. I didn't detail the truck too much and kept it slightly fuzzy to suggest that it might in fact not really be there and that it could just be a figment of his imagination. The basement was also whitewashed so there was no detail to it but behind the truck there is the outlines of the blocks of the back wall, they are faint but again in these photos are just about invisible.
Perhaps Simon could post some more detailed snippets taken from the hi-res photos I took, or maybe links to the full res/sized images on photobucket or similar?
Selling EVERYTHING! Come and get it!
(Except my Gunslinger First Edition. That ain't going nowhere. It's the only one I'm keeping, can't let that go)
Thanks Frankie, but might I suggest not waiting for the Brits and getting in on the bidding right away? Make them fight for it!Beautiful remarques Miss Readman. I was going to leave this one for the Brits, but if they don't get to work soon, I will.

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Here are the images Rachel created:

I'm afraid the answer is not "bid" for everyone. Unfortunately, this item will close out of the price range that I can afford (as have the last number of auctions). I am supporting the Haven Fund through Ms. Readman by purchasing a Palaver sculpture, and I have also won a couple of auctions that closed at a price I can afford to pay. These end of fundraiser pieces are amazing, but they are only available to the "Big Fish" with deep pockets who can easily afford to drop close to a grand (or more) on a book. Good for the Haven Fund, perhaps not so good for the "small fry" street urchin standing outside staring through the candy store window, lol.Then Bid!!! The Brits are winning, I think? LOL
In any case, kudos to you for spearheading the fundraising efforts, Stroppygoblin for organizing this particular item, AND Ms. Readman for contributing some remarkable images
Whoever "wins" this is going to have a remarkable piece.

But if everyone thinks that, then it wont raise much money for the HF. If *everyone* bids the max amount that they would be willing to pay for this item then an auction occurs and the price goes up (ie more money for the fund). if everyone thinks, thats gonna go high, no one bids and someone gets it for a steal. It doesn't matter if you win or not. bid your maximum, you will help the fund, best case, no one goes higher and you win, worst case, you don't win, but don't lose any money!I'm afraid the answer is not "bid" for everyone.

Again, just to be clear *only* bid what you would happily feel comfortable paying if you win.

This one needs support folks as it has stalled a little. There are 4 great pieces of art here currently going for a modest £53 each (and thats ignoring the price of the book!). Rachels work is worth Waaaaayyy more than that! Lets see some bidding.
BP WHERE ARE YOU?????

I have to say that I ashamed that this suction is not doing better!!! I know it is not signed by, Stephen King, but it IS what the Haven Fund is all about. Artists supporting other artists in their time of need, Let's see if we can't show a little more "love" for this rare donation!!! C'mon folks!!!

I must say that of the recent remarqued auctions, I love this one the most. The four separate illos (especially that CAT!), the artistry, the colors, they are amazing. I would definitely be bidding given different financial circumstances.
Great work, Rachel, and everyone else involved.
Who's winning now? I'll bid an extra 20 GBP if it's a Brit.Is there a good natured but still moderately offensive term for the British?
Just looked again, that artwork really looks amazing even in shitty eBay jpeg form, I can only imagine how it looks in person.
$255.00 in British funds!!!

Looking good, only 20 hours left on this.
We're edging ever closer to that goal of $12,500. Can we make it, or can we break it?
Selling EVERYTHING! Come and get it!
(Except my Gunslinger First Edition. That ain't going nowhere. It's the only one I'm keeping, can't let that go)
History says we break it, my dear, but this year may be very close!!! We need, Brits and Colonists to finally come together on this one!!! Your "Palaver Wall Art" may actually be the deciding factor!! Get in there folks, Rachel has offered both wonderful art pieces and very generous HF monies!!!
