I know, its so cool of them to donate an item all the way for Colombia to help little old me.
Its weird. A few UK things, but also USA and NZ
Sooooooooooooooooo
I've ran out of thank you's I think. This is just snowballing and its awesome. So many new contacts made via twitter and email's.
A few turn downs. Which is understandable from the retail stores who already support charities and their own foundations. But otherwise its very positive.
A little update, I have commissioned three piece's of artwork for the auction, which may turn into six because the artist is so excited about me asking her to help out.
They will be, Wiggo in TT yellow at TdF, Cav winning the Worlds and Cav winning a stage in rainbow.
She wants to posterize them but also paint them in acrylic.
How to keep my appeal in the spot light?
First 7 days I had 1387 unique visitors to my page, Its been 10 days now and the final 3 have had 43 visits
Could always commission some bike artwork from me...
Depends what you want really, but I have access to "The best Etching Workshop in London," according to Norman Ackroyd and can also do any kind of relief printing.
All you have to do is ask, and specify the number that you want in the edition.
COOL.
That sounds amazing Raleigh, but I have no idea of what it is. lol.
Fire me at email Guitaristkam [at] gmail.com and have a yap
Got my first non cycling positive today, British touring car team, ES Racing.com have said they will sort something out for me
Now ive been payed, ive made a donation. All the best with everything
Thank you TER......Who's going to become donor 50?
No special prizes, but a iCuddle from me....if you are female
I think the auction/raffle has a treat in store from Raleigh.
It has inspired me to look out some canvas and see if I can't put together something of my own......could be interesting
If someone could try out my website, its not set up totally, but have a look and get an idea, then someone fill in the contact form to try out my settings
www.Gkam84.tk
Do it, go and buy/beg some Art materials and get painting/drawing/printing/experimenting.
That worked a treat Raleigh. Finally got it working.
Nobody else needs to test the contact form, thanks
But if anyone else is arty, feel free to contribute an item to the auction. I'll give you full credit and any information about yourself that you wanted included
If anyone is going to get their art skills.
Anyone this good? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181021468670&fromMa...
Just got an email from the guy at BMC
"Your autographed item is on its way to you"
Keeping the suspense up for everyone as I have no clue what it is
Contact from Mark Colbourne, World and Paralympic Champion who is PHONING me tomorrow
FAST Freddie Rodriguez is also getting involved
Got a DM from festinagirl on Twitter. I have no idea who she is, but she's be brilliant at tweeting my link.
It reads
...
Yes????
Eh? I posted "drum roll..." inside some pointy brackets, referring to the suspense. Maybe funny formatting killed it.
Ah right......
Another confirmation.....Who's gonna be bidding on this beauty??
A limited edition First Day Cover signed by Dani King
What's a first day cover?
Ah, Google thinks it's stamps - has she signed ones with her on or something?
I think so, every gold medallist got a stamp, I don't know whats limited edition about it though.
Another confirmation
First Day Cover is a commemorative envelope the Royal Mail issue with each new set of stamps, postmarked the day they were issued (hence the name)
Sometimes restricted to a certain number, hence the limited edition. My mum started me off on a collection in the mid-70s, then I discovered punk and she gave up...
Dani King signed FDC bound to appeal to a collector.
Ah ha, So its not a set of stamps. I was hoping it was going to be one of those HUGE stamps the riders got presented with to stand beside their gold post box
I was hoping it would be Dani King in the post.
Glad to see your video is 'touchable' Keith, that's some weird technology you've used there!
I did wonder, then I thought......Hmmmmm Russian's. I wonder if it was a leggy blonde, she can touch my video.....
Dani King in the post. Now that's an auction item I would have to try out first But could try harder to get Laura Trott in the post and keep her
Another tick to the donation of items box.....James Nash BTCC 2011 Independent Champion
Also happens to be my favourite driver since John Clelland, Kieth O'Dor and David Leslie circa 1991 (got my first VHS of them racing)
Used to really enjoy BTCC. Aiello, Leslie in the Nissans, and Rikard Rydell in the Volvo, with Matt Neil gatecrashing as a privateer.
I met Paul O'Neil a couple of times through a mutual friend. We got to go to the end-of-season party at Donington Park (think this was in 2003 or 2004 - he was driving a Vauxhall Astra works car). Rumours were already flying that Paul wasn't getting a contract for the following season, he got leathered and somehow his undies ended up hanging off a power cable that was strung overhead while he was still wearing trousers...
So who wants to see a sneak peek at one of the commission's? Not finished, but I can show you a part....You name which part
No-one? Everyone bedded then
I do want to show this young girl's work off
New tactic this morning, although I've been up all night.....I blame the full moon.
But I've been firing off emails like nobodies busy to management peoples. Can't say to much anymore about what I'm doing. Someone seems to be trying to copy everything I do
Copy everything you do - WTF?!
Go on then, show us the top left of it...
Well not copying exactly, but contacting people I have had success with securing a donation item and then asking them to donate to his fund raising for something else.
I don't believe he is a member of the forum either
Here is the top left, can you guess who it is yet?
Background has not been done yet
