Line Art: now taking bids

Have you ever heard of line art?  Its when you draw lines on a plain background with very little shading or gradient.  There are some famous paintings done in line art - The Dove of Peace was done by Picasso
- an beautiful piece (photo courtesy of biographyonline.net ).  It is also worth a lot of money.

So I decided that I would start taking bids for the line art found around my house recently.  I've taken the liberty of naming each piece, but if you think of one better, please let me know.

First up: eau de toilette


Second: from the kitchen floor


Third: I don't want to eat my dinner


Last:  Let Me Outta My Room

all artwork by the artist known as Little Man. 

Bids start at $1000.00, who's first?

  2. You are so funny!!! We have priceless art around here, as well. The latest being pencil lines on the grout on the kitchen counter...I just bleached it last week. I guess the kids couldn't stand it being so clean.

  7. Don't you love it! Our house is decorated in valuable art, too. I don't know what I'll do when there are no more artists around here.

  8. My son is 4.5 and he has yet to create this type of art.... I don't know why, it isn't like he doesn't have opportunity.

  9. I think that all writing implements need to be kept under lock & key.
