Thanks for your question, The paint was donated to me by a great friend (C.D.), as far as I know it is regular household latex paint. I know its not the fanciest, but it is what we had and I needed to put these visions onto the blank canvas as soon as possible. Your friend, NYC_SKP @therealNYC_SKP

No, really, the way the bilious green plays off the urine yellow makes me weep with despair for the art world that this clown with his Photoshop (or Gimp, if he's cheap) can get 100 Gs for this visual twaddle.

Right wing nuts have no taste to go along with no brains.

Nice parody, though.

That yellow shadow of cowardice will follow him for the rest of his life. He's a simulacrum of a moral person holding a simulacrum of a painting that used a simulacrum of an image that has been overwritten with canned meaningless simulacrum phrases resulting in the final overwriting - FAIL. That's his destination in reality.

If I had dough I buy it in a heartbeat for a couple of grand to get you started....I would hope you would at least do a couple of similar pieces with a message of the cowardice of politicians on gun control.

Continue the great work, and use this venue as a starting point to a new career..

If you become successful, just remember where you came from.. but pay your bills with this art.

We need you!..

After I changed it to a sale of a digital file and not a physical artwork, they killed the listing and advised me to put it under a different heading:


Listing digitally delivered goods outside of the Classified Ad format in the Everything Else > Informational products category is not allowed.

The guidelines for digitally delivered goods help prevent feedback manipulation or artificial increases in eBay seller ratings. The guidelines also help protect members by preventing item listings that may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.

You can list most digitally delivered goods, but only if you use the Classified Ad format and list your item in the Everything Else > Information Products category.

Here's more information on our policy:

Seems odd to me, not sure if I'll relist it: http://www.ebay.com/chp/Information-Products-/102480
