It is scheduled for Oct. 1. Keep checking the OFS website for updated info.
There are two of us local comix guys in there. Jon Strongbow's entry is described thusly:
Jon Strongbow has donated an homage to
the Broadway Market and movie theater
that once existed in Seattle. The Masai
dancers are men who in leaping experience
weightlessness which is akin to flying.
Mantis is a mythological being who may
have created the entire human race.

It's in color. I don't know the dimensions or medium.
Jon and I go way back to but it has been many years since we've seen each other. I think I last saw him at the Starhead farewell party in Ballard about 1997.
Here's the entry for yours truly:
Steve Willis is a librarian who also writes comics.
He has donated 5 new issues of Morty Comix to
the auction. Read about the series at Olyblog:

The Cap Theater has also been one the venues for the Olympia Comix Fest for several years. In fact, Peter Bagge and I had a nice little forum on politics in comix there just a few months ago.
Hey Steve, Any chance you have scans of the work that you donated to the auction?
ReplyDeleteSorry Blake, I did not scan them. The catalog has an image of the cover of #2196 but that's it. Generally with Morty Comix I let go of them after they're drawn. I send them out and declare in a pretentious soft monotone: "Live wild. Live free." I can say all the images in the OFS set are faces, including several animal people. I'd contact OFS for more info. Even though I'm not a member I do enjoy their films once in awhile. And they are keeping the last old time movie theater in Oly intact, which is a great thing.
