Had a friend link this on their page... and since I'm suffering from the whole after A-kon high/low syndrome... I figured I'd at least inquire since I'd like to help but haven't a clue what to get. Nothing for females interests me and to be honest it was actually your post also about cancer that got to me. Nice of you to donate when you're hard put on finances yourself. Kicked the idea around a bit in my head and figured you were probably on the up and level.
What kind of things do you sell for a man who doesn't wear jewelry, has no one to give jewelry to, and hates having pictures of himself taken. ROFL. I'm figuring price limit $40 to 50.
Check out deviantArt to see what other kinds of art I make. I have drawings, intaglio prints, and photography I can get prints of. If you see anything you like, let me know. I have drawers of stuff that isn't properly photographed yet, too. Maybe you need a nifty abstract monotype to hang in the livingroom? I have about 130 of these, all different, all one-of-a-kind originals, that I could let go for $50; matted and ready for a 16x20 frame for $65. I also have smaller drawings and darkroom printed photographs that would be in your budget. See what you like and I'll make it happen. :)
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. Nothing really super caught my eye. =/
I was thinking -- what if I just do a gift certificate of say $45 for an IOU art/matt&frame job since it sounds like you matt and frame? Occasionally get too tempted at A-kon art show and can't resist buying a print or something. A few years back, there was one bad matt job. And if it comes up again in the next 5 years... well I'd be covered. =P
If not: A couple of the scenery things were okay but I don't see it in my cramped apartment. "Silk", "swirly-wip", and "mindgames" were also okay but again, not sure I'd have a place for it. And I'm probably being overly self-conscious but feel embarrassed to say "Bondage Love" is probably my favorite image. Strong image.
All those are options but whatever works best for you. Primary purpose should be whatever will help you the best on this.
I have a couple 5x7 prints of Bondage Love.. Everyone loves that one. :) I'm gonna try to list some more photos and drawings soon. I have most of next week off (lousy retail hours, I'm getting screwed!) so I should be able to get some pictures of things and stick them up on Etsy..
I just completely realized-- out of the clear blue... and not being able to sleep ... just almost 3am... that I'd said I'd be willing to help-- and errr... never got reminded about it. Still, feel embarrassed. I'm quite swamped in all manners of ways and so it doesn't surprise me that I'd forget about something for almost 2 months and then suddenly remember.
How's it going and did you ever put up new things on Etsy? Did your financial states ever even themselves out? =/ Sorry again for forgetting to check myself. (editted to state that as of right now Etsy is down for maint so can't check myself.)

Hope things go well for you. Best wishes.
