Go Fund Me $ raiser for Silke Tapken sketch sale

[sketchopolix]

A friend of mine is selling off her sketch card collection to raise money for some necessary medical expenses (see details on Go Fund Me if interested in donating to support Silke: http://www.gofundme.com/f/help-silke...r-time-of-need).

She has a number of very nice Rittenhouse Archives marvel sketches available which I am auctioning off for her beginning this Sunday - about 50 cards each week for 5 weeks.

Look for auctions going live Sunday at 9 pm eastern, 6 pm Pacific at my eBay store www.ebay.com/str/sketchopolix

I am doing this work pro bono - all funds (less eBay's fees) will go to Silke's GoFundMe home conversion project.

I hope you find something you want for your collection.

For me either, but if you click his eBay link to the left under his Blowout ID, that does take you to where you want to go.

Help Silke modify her home to accomodate wheel chair access for her and her husband, recently diagnosed with an ALS-like illness by bidding on some beautiful sketch cards.

Week 3 auctions end tonight starting at 9 pm EST.

This Meghan Hetrick Daken and the Marcos puzzle are leading the pack. Hetrick contributed original artwork to UD's Marvel Flair set and has drawn a wide variety of DC books/covers (https://www.dc.com/talent/meghan-hetrick) so expect to see her on their upcoming DC sets, but the Daken is one of her earliest published comic works.

Pablo Marcos is a legendary artist - from Wikiepdia:

Pablo Marcos Ortega, known professionally as Pablo Marcos[1] (born March 31, 1937),[2] is a comic book artist and commercial illustrator best known as one of his home country Peru's leading cartoonists, and for his work on such popular American comics characters as Batman and Conan the Barbarian, particularly during the 1970s. His signature character was Marvel Comics' the Zombie, for which Marcos drew all but one story in the black-and-white horror-comics magazine Tales of the Zombie (1973–1975).

Don't miss your chance to own some original artwork from two published comic artists.

Week 4 comes to a close tonight at 9 pm est/6 pm pst

This hilarious McConnell WoM2 puzzle leads the pack, with Sunico's Rogue closing fast

So far these auctions have raised about $9,500 for Silke's home renovations. Work on making the bathroom wheelchair accessible begins next week thanks to people who have contributed directly on GoFundMe (http://www.gofundme.com/f/help-silke...r-time-of-need) and eBay buyers bidding on her sketch card collection.

Thank you to any forum members who have been bidding, or the several who made direct contributions.
