Mr. Onstad just mentioned this on the front page: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320193908630
He painted this three years ago, in 2004. Weird. I wonder if he just doesn't paint much anymore, or if he's trying to get more holiday merch out there.
-
Perhaps he didn't consider it of sufficient quality before, but now the siren song of the holiday moneys has lowered his standards.
I still think that the Phillipe painting on the Vespa is tres awesome.
-
I wrote to him before asking about the possibility of commissioning something for our living room wall. Never heard back from him.

As in, you wanted Onstad to come in and paint your living room wall? Or you wanted to direct him to paint something you could hang on your wall?
-
The latter... though how awesome would the former have been? People coming from miles around to see it, like the SaniTaco stand.
-
I thought he posted something about being too busy to take commissions? Perhaps that's why he never responded.
-
Huh... don't recall that. If so, then I don't feel so bad.
-
I remember pretty clearly when the last painting auction was run, but I didn't realize that was over two years ago. Have I really been reading Achewood for over two years now? Really? Am I... developing diabetes?
-
My God. That son of a bitch is *ugly*.
-
Yikes, that is a low quality piece of work. Especially having seen the other paintings Onstad has done. It's sort of encouraging though. Like maybe I should put more work into making paintings.

Maybe if you had a popular webcomic with a rogue messageboard audience you could make money like O.
-
To be truly rogue, we should make and sell our own fan art. It's the perfect combination of pissing Onstad off while still exhibiting fan-dom for the work.
-
Oh wow, it's almost at a thousand dollars now. CraZZZZy.
-
The two bidders fighting this battle: one just buys N64 video games, the other actually buys art. I think one of them is putting him on.
-
Crap on a crap cracker, it's at $960 and it's still got 2 days and five hours left to go. I agree, Ash... I do hope that he gets top dollar for it. Someday when I'm not po' (i.e., I cannot afford the last two letters of the word "poor") I would like to buy some Achewood original art.
-

OH man, my dad makes this joke about his childhood. Except, he grew up in Boston, so it's like "powah."

Swanky Bostonites, all your fancy extra vowel sounds.
-
nah, man, the accent that he had in his childhood was not very swanky. not at all.
-
I'm hoping for these two people to keep raising the bid to exorbitant levels just so Baby Onstad can have the greatest Christmas of all time. That little tyke deserves it. She's such a trooper.
-
I was wondering if was in fact the artist himself selling it, or someone else who had previously bought the painting. A quick check of the seller location (San Carlos, just up the highway from Palo Alto) indicates it is, plus the feedback he has left for other ebayers is sometimes done in character voices: "This guy, he is best customer of all time. A white light surrounds his account." or "Lovely transaction, all quite pleasant, item as promised. Thank you."

Yeah, boy*****1 is Chris Onstad. Don't worry, it's not some scalper looking to make a quick buck off Achewood fans.

Which one do you suppose was the put on?

Yeah it looks like it sold for $960. Daaaaaamn.
