When I say old, I mean old to me. These are three paintings that I did between 8 and 12 years ago. I'm putting them up on eBay along with my newer paintings that I've already blogged about this week. I believe it's important to revisit older work and take out certain pieces to share with the world. That is, if the world gives a shit. Hopefully someone out there will be inspired by these paintings. If not, then at least I've enjoyed looking at them again and feeling their timeless textures and seeing the details up close a second time.
They aren't really all the same size as this little preview image indicates. Actually the one on the left is a 16"x20" oil, the one in the middle is a 20"x24" acrylic and the one on the right is a 24"x30" acrylic. The earliest work is the one on the left called 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.' I know, I know, it's a James Joyce novel, but that's a novel and this is my painting, and it perfectly describes it for me.
Here are the links to the eBay auctions. They are ending Sunday the 22nd in the evening...
'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man'
'Ghost More Than Man'
'Warrior of the Underdark'
So yeah, like I said, I figured I would intersperse some of my older works in with what I am doing now. There still seems to be an audience out there for the type of work I used to do back then. It's good to know that style is appreciated. I sold a few of my paintings already from that time period and they were all well received. If you're interested in any of the current paintings just go to eBay and bid or e-mail me and we can discuss all the ways that you can make me rich by collecting all my available paintings at once. :)

I really love your work...perhaps I will have to buy a piece some day. Seriously.
Cheers.
I'm glad you like my paintings. Art has always been such a big part of my life and I'm amazed every time when someone picks my work out amongst all the other pieces to choose from, and then they actually pay me for it!
I would love to paint full time, but I'm not quite there yet. :)
You know, there's always commissions. If you have something specific in mind I can paint it for you. I'm pretty reasonable too. ;)
I see you sold one of the three... Congratulations! E-bay doesn't seem to me to be a very good place to sell art until you're famous. There's a lot of art there but it doesn't sell for much money if at all. Some people I know are making decent money on E-bay but they have a following already and are using e-bay as an alternate sales venue. They each get over 1,000 visitors a day to their Blogs so the main sales pitch is happening there. If I knew how to get to that level I'd do it myself and then tell you how but unfortunately I haven't even come close yet. Good luck, Joe. Keep painting!
