"INKTOBER 2023" AUCTION IN AID OF H.O.P.E. BASKET
Love It? Bid on It!
I've created 15 x A5 ink drawings to auction off for my church’s H.O.P.E. (Help Other People Eat) Basket. I've used some of the official Inktober prompts and paired them with song lyrics , some modern and some pretty old-school!
The opening bid is R50 per picture, and thereafter bids go up by multiples of R10 for that picture. You have until 10 November 12 noon to bid on as many drawings as you like, as often as you like! The highest bidder buys the drawing (cost of delivery will be added onto final bid).
