Art Gift Info

I meant to post this mid-week but due to Scout's passing, I've been in too much of a haze to deal with it.  We considered the idea of changing the dates of the auction but that just won't do as it will confuse too many people.  Plus if we keep busy then we can't focus on being sad about our lil guy.  So here's what we need from those of you who are planning on giving art for the auction...

1. Photos of the art - It would be good to have a photo referencing relative size.  Aka, take a well known item such as a can of pop or a tennis ball and place it next to the art in one of the photos to illustrate relative size.  Then take your standard glamour shots of the art.  One full size and one to zoom in on details you love.

2.  Tell us about the art - What medium did you use?  What is it (drawn, painted, printed, etc) on?  Acid free or reused materials?  The nitty gritty stuff that people may want to know.  

3.  Dimensions of the piece

4.  Is there a story behind the work that might make it more interesting - Were you inspired to paint it by something?  Was it in a show or won awards?  

5.  Tell us a little about yourself or send the link to your website so that we may link your auction listing to it.

6.  Estimated starting bid cost...  What would you like your starting bid to begin at?  Or rather, what price should we set it at that you think it will auction best?

I believe that is everything but if I missed something, let me know.  =)  Also as I haven't had this put up sooner, it would be nice if you could get me the info by tomorrow.  If need be, it can be during Monday as well but that will just mean the item will be up for less time as I want to get all the listings put together on Sunday.
