SUPPORT THE ADAMS AUCTION RECAP

So the auction to
help Joey Adams and his family
was,
as the kids say,
off the hook.

There were LOTS of people there:


And there was TONS of amazing artwork on display.
These conceptual drawings for Madagascar
by Craig Kellman were some of my favorites:




Alot of the artwork on display was for the big online portion of the auction.
The Bronies were going wild for the My Little Pony artwork Lauren Faust donated.
I thought this one rocked pretty hard:


And after the online auction smoke had cleared,
each Pony drawing had sold for around $2000.
Except for one which sold for...
get this...

$9100.00

You heard me.
NINE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!

Wow.
How awesome is THAT?!


I had to send Mo Willems a picture of this clerical error:




I won this piece by sooper star
animator/director/Tap Out Crew T-shirt model
Mike Hollingsworth:


As of this right now, I'm not sure how much the auction has brought in,
but I know it did pretty well.
Of course, it's nowhere near enough to solve the mind-numbing
medical bills of the Adams Family.
But every bit helps.
And how cool is it so see animation folks
rally around one of their own?

If you can't help out by donating at supportheadams.com,
keep Joey's family in your thoughts, okay?

  5. I don't know what the final price was for the KND drawing.
    But it certainly wasn't anywhere near $9100.00.
    Maybe $91.00?
