My Birthday Is Coming Up...

Hey Dan... If you're looking for a gift for your brother, I was at the Mariner store on 4th Avenue yesterday and they're selling an autographed Carlos Silva baseball for $17.

Kind of a crappy painting. The artist should have told him to stand up stra...er....tall.

LukeJoe on May 4, 2010 at 1:55 PM

If we buy you the Quentin Crist painting, Dan, what do we get in return?

Baconcat on May 4, 2010 at 1:56 PM

$6,000!?!?!

Or you could go next door and find a used Skeletor action figure for a few dollars less.

Mr. Poe's going to outbid you on this.

Fnarf on May 4, 2010 at 2:13 PM

maybe not the worst painting of a silver fox ever, but still it is really horrible. perhaps worth 60 bucks, in a cheap ass $90 frame.

@6, no kidding. Poe will pick every pocket in town to finance a winning bid.

Oh, you DO have bad taste!

So this is the kind of fundraising the Republican Party is reduced to? Let the lulz continue unabated.

It would be an attention grabber to be sure, but there would be that lingering creep factor much like those cobra and mongoose entanglements one sees at import bazaars.

Wasn't this whole deal with Rekers kind of an early birthday present?

6K is a lot of money to be paying for an office dart board...

You Look Like I Need A Drink! on May 4, 2010 at 3:00 PM

This is cruel.

For whoever has to look at it.

sirkowski on May 4, 2010 at 3:04 PM

Eh, anybody paying that much for something like this isn't really interested in the work itself, just the tax write-off they'll probably finagle out of the deal.

COMTE on May 4, 2010 at 3:13 PM

Howzabouty I paint you a watercolor of George Rekers, Larry Craig, and Ted Haggard dressed (partially) as Uncle Sam going all "I want YOU" and pointing with santorum stained fingers?

How about this picture of Charlie Crisp instead?

Needs to be on black velvet...

Chris in Vancouver WA on May 4, 2010 at 4:11 PM

as an artist I'm appalled at the state of portraiture painting. No Sargent, Manet or Rembrandt out there? Tsk, tsk.

On the other hand how does one paint a hypocrite accurately? hmmm.

alisamc on May 4, 2010 at 4:41 PM

What day??

Callie on May 4, 2010 at 4:52 PM

the picture looks like norm macdonald w/ white hair

glen keenan on May 4, 2010 at 5:20 PM

He needs a pancake on his head.

keshmeshi on May 4, 2010 at 8:00 PM

$6200 and still 5+ days to go. Bet this goes over 20K easy. Please post a follow-up after bidding ends.

OutInBumF on May 4, 2010 at 11:48 PM

That would be an insult to the memory of life-long Democrat Ann Landers.

RealityBites on May 5, 2010 at 5:09 AM

Link doesn't go to anything any longer...

Barbara on May 5, 2010 at 9:21 AM

Please tell me somebody screencapped it. Linky no worky!
