Well the online fundraising auction of my painting “Assange’s Dad” was a success. After closing at $5,200 USD a late bidder came in with an offer of $10,000, which the initial auction winner graciously allowed to take his place. All the proceeds will go to action.assangecampaign.org.au.
I’m also now auctioning off a few smaller paintings of Assange that I did — not for any fundraising event, just to put them on offer if anyone’s interested. I’m really enjoying this new oil painting rabbit hole and I’d like to do more of it, so hopefully I can get it to start paying for the supplies and time it costs.
Anyone who’s interested in placing a bid on a painting should do so soon; they’re all closing within 1–2 days of this posting. Click here to check them out and enter a bid if you feel so inclined.
