Operation USA Original Art Auction!

sg
Okay, Aqua-Fans--here's your chance to do a good deed and walk away with a cool piece of Aqua-Art in the process!

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of artist Dan Schoening, who penciled the Capstone DC Superheroes/Aquaman book Deepwater Disaster, we have two pieces of original art that are now up on eBay for auction to the highest bidder:

Top most is the Dan's original penciled page, and below that is the inked-on-vellum page by inker Mike DeCarlo. Each page is 8 1/2x11", and you can find each piece's auction page here:

There's no reserve, no Buy It Now. Whoever bids the most, wins. Each winning bidder will send the money to the Shrine (me) via Paypal, and once I have both deposits on hand I will add money so the donation is rounded up to the nearest $10 increment, then place one giant donation to Operation USA for their Japan relief efforts.

Also, each winner will be inducted into the hallowed halls of F.O.A.M.:

If you're a winning bidder and are already a member of FOAM, then you will be the recipient of the super-duper-special Aquaman Shrine Citation of Merit:

...and if you already have one of these, then I'll just send you one of the scratch-and-sniff "Grape Job!" stickers.

So head on over to eBay and bid, knowing you'll be ponying up money for a really good cause--make Aquaman himself proud!
