And great score on the Cherry Blossom watercolor auction!
Congrats!
Thanks. I was just lucky. The auction was not well organized, so, the usagi watercolor was the last item, but I suspect no one else knew it was coming, because they didn't have a catalog or even have everything on display in advance. So fortunately for me, I think most of the crowd had spent its con money already.
I know Stan also says that folks at Anime cons don't know who he is, but, come on, he was the feature artist for the whole con. At least someone there knows quality.
The convention did forget about the art for the auction. I had told them beforehand I would donate the art for charity. When I got there, I told three senior staff, including the auction head, and they all assured me they would pick up the art at my table in Artist Alley.
When 11o'clock Sunday came around, and I still had it, I located a staff to have her run it up to the auction.
Stan, I didn't realize when you told me that didn't take the art until Sunday morning that they actually waited until after the auction began. That is really shocking (although, it would shock you less if you had seen the auction in action).
