Art Auctions on E-bay

Howdy all!! I have a couple art auctions up and running for you all to check out. First up is my very first attempt at trying to illustrate 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi's retro look. Much like previous auction of this nature once a winning bid is met, a copy of the image will be made on 11x14 high quality carstock and signed personally to the winning bidder.

After that I will PERMANENTLY DELETE the file this image is on to ensure this to be ONE OF A KIND ART.

But not only will the winning bidder receive both the 11x14 color art and 9x12 pen and ink art, they will also receive a concept sketch I created several months back trying to imagine what Capaldi's Doctor might look like. The look is based on his appearance as Professor Marcus in The Ladykillers onstage.

The design THEY came up with was much better than mine. I admit.

Up next I'm offering a 16x20 art print of my newest illustration THE REALLY ROTTENS.... OR A GATHERING OF NO GOODNIKS. The title is derived from two sources. One is the name of the team the bad guys were on in the Hanna-Barbera series LAFF-A-LYMPICS. Which was an odd title since I really never laughed once watching it. The second source is what Boris Badinov would occassionally refer to himself as.

Special Summer Auction!! Doctor Who: Fall of the Eleventh 16x20 Art Print!!

I thought I would do one more special art auction before the end of Summer. This time I am offering a 16x20 art print in anticipation of Matt Smith's departure from the role of the Doctor in this year's Christmas Episode.

Original artwork by Bret M. Herholz (Diary of the Black Widow/Sherlock Holmes). Originally illustrated in Deleter  Black Drawing Ink on Canson Smooth Bristol Board. Colors added digitally. Inspired by the cult British Science-Fiction series DOCTOR WHO. In anticipation of Matt Smith's final episode  as the Eleventh Doctor before he regenerates into Peter Capaldi, I decided to do a 16x20 color print based on  one of the earliest attempts at illustrating the Eleventh Doctor back in 2010. The image was based on Paul  Cornell's concept that the Doctor's past regenerations still exist within the Doctor's mind which he used in  the novel TIMEWYRM: REVELATION and the Seventh Doctor audio play SHADOW OF THE SCOURGE. Although when I first created this image it was to represent David Tennant's Tenth Doctor handing over the  TARDIS keys to his successor. Although, now I saw it fitting as a visual of the Eleventh Doctor joining his  predecessors. The image itself will measure 16x20 and be printed on high quality glossy cardstock. Shipping on this auction,  much like many of the auctions taking place this Summer is free!! This will be the only time I will be printing this illustration.  Once the winning bid is met, a 16x20  print will be made on high quality glossy cardstock and signed and dated to the winning bidder.  Then the original image file of the print will be deleted. Making this a one of a kind print.

Doctor Who: Fall of the Eleventh 16x20 Art Print

And just remember gentle reader, nobody is forcing you to bid on this print. You may do that of your own free will. I am not forcing, demanding, bullying or even physically twisting your arm into purchasing this print. 

If you don't like the image simply don't buy it. Which seems like a pretty simple alternative if you ask me.

However, if you do choose to bid on the item, then click on the link above and Happy Bidding :-)

Doctor Who

I had started doing some artwork again for E-Bay. This time I thought I would try some Doctor Who art.

It's funny what will sell and what won't sell on E-Bay from month to month. A couple months ago people were bidding on my Sherlock Holmes work right to left. But now I haven't even got a sniff. But I put my first Doctor Who illustration up for bidding and the same day someone has put a bid on it.

Oh well. I'll probably hang onto the Sherlock Holmes ones till the Robert Downey Jr. movie comes out. People will probably take interest in the character by then. Especially if the movie is a success.

For those of you who know me or read my blog, I have been a huge fan of Doctor Who since the early 1980's when I use to watch episodes from behind the sofa because Tom Baker frightened me. Especially the end of The Invasion of Time when he looked right at the camera and started to laugh. I still remember that one and when Julian Glover's character pulled off his human masked and revealed that he was a one-eyed alien at the end of part one of The City of Death.

Of course fear usually turns to intrigue and by the time I was in the Fifth Grade (and they started showing episodes of the Fifth and then Sixth Doctor) I was hooked. Every night at 7pm on PBS Channel 2 in Boston.

But here are the illustrations I created for E-Bay. All of which are selling:
