Cave of Muse: a two- part auction

Welcome ~ This is a special auction where I am offering a style that I have reserved only for close friends before. For the winning bid, I have a variety of styles to offer, but this is your opportunity for something different from my norm.

I am pretty much closing myself down from commissions on Gaia to real life commissions. I want to thank all my friends, supporters and commissioners over the last few years who've helped me improve my art and skills beyond what I'd ever thought to achieve--and more.

Thank you again, Gaia, you've been a wonderful place to nurture future artist--may you continue to inspire!

Round 1: Invitations-Only Auction

This first round is for friends only---I sent out a bulk of invitations, but if you're a friend who wishes to bid and you didn't receive an invite--DON'T WORRY. Just let me know and I'll send you the invitation via PM.

If I don't recognize you, if you're not on my friend list, you'll have to reserve your bids for the second round.

If you bid and you don't read the rules, you get a polite warning, and then you're banned from bidding in any of the rounds in my auction.

Quote:

To My Honored Guests:

Art has been a major factor all my life, and I would have stopped a long time ago if I hadn't had such wonderful friends to support me and help me forward. I wouldn't be the artist or person you all know now, if it wasn't for you.

I love drawing for someone and watching how it brightens their day. For a friend, the process is by far easier, not to mention funner. I don't have to mince around and guess--I already know you and am comfortable expressing any comments or concerns. And I know--I've grilled so many of you over some of the smallest, least significant seeming information, I'm so grateful for your patience with me!

So this is my way of showing my appreciation to such wonderful people, I hope it pleases everyone.

Sincerely,
Lance
