Twelve days to go.

I'm happy to hear your comments, even if you don't like the artwork at all...

The art isn’t for me but I love the frame!

[digicoinuser]

I can't see the photos for some reason, can you provide text links to them in the OP also?

No offence to you but this is a horse shit attempt at making BTC.  Even my kids could make something better than this, actually anyone out of pre school could chuck some peeled fruit and gold paper in a frame

I am commenting as an art buyer here and not as an awkward poster, fella please get someone to check your "art" before you post here- this post is wasting valuable internet space

Thanks for your comment.

The frame is actually part of the artwork. I intentionally burned it with a Bunsen burner (put on protective paint afterwards).

You could have thrown some apple peels and potatoes in there too! Make it a nice veg fruit skin art mix worthy of the louvre

Yes that's definitely worth considering... for this work I chose mandarin peels because of the color and the surface that more closely resembles animal/human skin.

I really don't care for it.  I am not sure what the game is.

I might go get my feet done, save the skank foot skin shavings, glue them to a satori chip and try and sell it. If I did that it would still sell for more than this piece

I wouldn't do it as it is an insult to the collectors here... but again it is better than this piece as I have said..

[flora_digitalis]

Good luck with your sale

Thank you. Actually it is not really important for me if it sells or for what amount - as I have stated in my previous auction thread, the act of creating an artwork alone is enjoyable for me. And if it is able to evoke whatever kind of emotions when shared it's even better.

I think it's a great accomplishment of my artwork that you feel that the collectors here are insulted by offering it.

Edit: Updated the thread title to reflect this.

Thanks for the images, definitely an interesting piece that seems different from what you've normally done.

Good luck with your auction
