I have some news that I am excited to share with you, and I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to get a piece of art at a steep discount, while helping someone in need.
Recently I learned of a woman named Robin Sullins who lost her legs and fingers to a rare bacterial infection due to a dog bite that happened on Christmas day. Her sister Angi is the founder of Duirwaigh Studios, which is running "Robin's Relief Fantasy Art Auction" to help Robin (who is self-employed and has no medical insurance) to get new legs and hands. (Duirwaigh Studios also has a presence on deviantART here:
duirwaighstudios.deviantart.co…) Angi's writings have inspired me in the past, and I wanted to give something back and help her sister Robin, who has a growing mountain of medical bills as well as a huge struggle ahead of her. Her story and her indomitable spirit touched me, and I had to respond.
I have donated one of my favorite creations to the auction: a purple/black leather Scaled Dragon mask with ram-style horns (on deviantART here:
eirewolfcreations.deviantart.c…). I hope that one or more of you will fall in love with it, and place a bid! It normally sells for $140, but the starting bid for this auction is only $75.
The auction listing for this mask may be found here:
www.ebay.com/itm/Erin-Metcalf-…There are many other beautiful items in the auction as well; I hope you will take a look at them all. Art pieces have been donated by some famous fantasy artists, such as Wendy Froud, Terri Windling, A. Andrew Gonzalez, Jasmine Beckett-Griffith, Amy Brown, David Delamare, Kinuko Craft, Michael Parkes, Alan Lee, John Howe, and many others. The full list can be found here, and more items will be added each day through the end of the month:
