Nina Taylor Kester, Program Coordinator at CAM, forwarded me a few shots from the museum. It's a hard place to photograph, but these do a pretty good job of showing the layout of the gallery that has the Calvin and Hobbes show.

We're in the home stretch now with two of our most anticipated pieces on eBay right now! A few more have come in recently, one very special piece by Gilbert Hernandez that we will be posting on eBay in the coming weeks, but we’re sticking to our schedule and have put these two pieces.

So, first up this week is the cover to our forthcoming catalog, a great piece by Patrick McDonnell. Save the Tigers. Plenty have asked about this piece over the past months, so I expect it will do quite well.

Next is another piece that has had many “please notify me when this goes live!” requests in our CAF in box. It’s a signed print of the final Calvin and Hobbes Sunday comic strip autographed by Bill Watterson. This lot has good provenance, as it includes a hand-written postcard from Andrews McMeel Universal editor John Glynn, verifying the authenticity of Watterson's signature. It popped less than an hour after posting at 100.00, and is currently over 5K already. I imagine this one should do quite well for us, too.

As always, thanks for your support to CAM!

We thought we were finished, but Scott Morse, Gilbert Hernandez, Keith Knight, and Bill Wray have recently donated pieces, so after a great finish with Watterson's signed print and Patrick's piece, that both exceeded our expectations (thank you!) we have a few more weeks to go.

Starting with Bill Wray. Bill was an animator for years on Ren & Stimpy before he turned to painting full time. He's a really talented guy, if you've seen his paintings and his animation, it's really incredible that they came from the same guy, if you ask me. This piece is watercolor and it is 10 x 14

The second piece we have for auction is from Gilbert Hernandez of Love & Rockets and Palomar saga fame, among others. Its pen and ink and we were thrilled to get a piece from him.

Look for more next week.

We have two more this week, my buddy Scott Morse did an awesome painting (word is there is a making of video coming as well, check his Instagram feed for that - https://www.instagram.com/crazymorse/)  and Keith Knight surprised us with an homage strip. Note that Keith colored his digitally, and what you are bidding on is the uncolored ink drawing on eBay.

Both are great, check them out when you can.

Received my art today, love it. Ordered a print of the first Calvin and Hobbes strip from gocomics. I plan to frame these together.
