Nicki shared an article with me this week where Gail Simone mentions me and the Green Arrow painting I donated to the John Ostrander auction.

THE ONLINE AUCTIONS

“First, we have a Green Arrow painting by the talented Lin Workman. I had the good fortune to see this delightful caricature at the Superman Celebration in Metropolis this year, and it’s simply gorgeous, a must for any GA fan.”

Wow- thanks, Gail!

Looks like Green Arrow has an opening bid of $100. Hope it brings in some bucks!

My friends Tim and Traci just had dinner with John and Mary while up in New Jersey. They said he seems to be doing well and has some more follow up appointments.

There was a recent interview with John on CBR- http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=22654

In the interview he mentions finally getting to meet Gail Simone in Metropolis and what a great time he had there at the Superman Celebration. We had a great time having him there!

The John Ostrander Auction will be from 7:30-9:30 on Saturday in International Ballroom B at this month’s Chicago Comic Con.

Last week I donated a couple paintings and some signed Bushi Tales comics and trading cards.

Gail Simone was busy at the San Diego Comic Con collecting more art and signed items for this. You can see/read more from Gail-

You can see more of the art at this site- http://www.comix4sight.com/

There are a couple galleries. Should be a heck of an auction and fund raiser.

If you love original comic art and signed stuff don’t miss this auction!
