The Adorable One, just looking to help out some kids

This auction raised nearly $400 for Stand Up for Kids! Thank you!!

Another charity suggested by a Spusta collector, this time 50% of this auction sale is going to Stand Up for Kids. The Adorable One, Just Looking for Fun is an older etching by Marq Spusta, edition is only out of 18. 

paper measures 11" x 15" and image is 8" x 9.5"

StandUp For Kids is a national non-profit charity. Our organization was founded in 1990 by a group of volunteers in San Diego, CA. Starting from a program in one city, StandUp For Kids has grown to a national organization with operations in many states and the District of Columbia. We remain a nearly all-volunteer organization.

You can donate directly here and check out the auction of this etching here. Thanks again for your support!

Your support means that we can reach into the streets, alleys and beaches and give them hope. Not the hope of one day or one month, but for a lifetime!

Froompa Aguaticus helping out Harvest Hope

This week we are "featuring" another charity requested by a Spusta collector, and bringing awareness to needs in Columbia, SC. 

Frompa Aguaticus 10" x 11" 

Frompa Aguaticus 10" x 11" 

Many bins of canned goods for hungry families who rely on Harvest Hope Food Bank are empty, and people who depend on the giant food distributor will face even tougher times if help doesn’t arrive quickly.

Harvest Hope is caught in the same vice that food banks are facing nationally, Holland said. Supply is down because canned food makers, distributors and grocery stores have tightened their inventories, she said. That means fewer cans left over for donation or sale to food banks at reduced prices. Read more here.

We are auctioning off a Froompa Aguaticus (11 of 50, on blue) over on ebay, and Spusta Studio/Gnome 11 will be making a 50% donation to Harvest Hope directly. If $50 can provide 250 meals, we want to help however we can. There's also an option to choose which area your funds can support on the website, so we'll be directing this donation to Columbia. Thanks as always for your support!

Qworman & Zoloota raising funds for Orphanage in Africa

This week we are raising funds for a special charity requested by a collector, Ministry of Hope Lesotho (MoHL). We are donating 50% from an oldie but goodie we found in the archives, "Qworman & Zoloota" 10" x 10" screen print, (signed and numbered by Marq Spusta) and are auctioning it off here, on eBay. (This charity is not a part of eBay for Charity so we gnomes will be making the donation on behalf of the Spusta Studio directly). 

(MoHL), founded in 2009 by PCUSA missionary Nancy Dimmock in collaboration with Mamonyane Mohale, a Lesotho health care professional, provides care, shelter, food, clothing, and a path to the future for orphaned children. Some of the children are malnourished, others neglected or abused, still others caught in the web of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. 

Click here for the Ministry of Hope Brochure and here for the Ministry of Hope Video to learn more.

Any additional donations can be directly mailed to Ministry of Hope, Lesotho, Inc., c/o Government Street Presbyterian Church, 300 Government Street, Mobile, AL 36602

Umphrey's McGree Mini Poster Lotto

The entry form was deleted once we reached 200 entries. Thank you for participating! Emails went out to winners selected around 7:30pm PST. 

In the stash, we have found 3 purple and 3 silver Umphrey's McGee Mini Variant Posters from 2013 (size 9" x 12") by Marq Spusta. There were commissioned by the band to package with concert DVDs and we have a few for you today.

Winners of this purchase lottery will be randomly selected from the first 200 who complete the form below. Along with your mini poster, you'll also be receiving one surprise NEW mini print and one Knowing of Gnomeness signed mini print as well (a few examples are shown below!) 

We've received a few suggested charities from collectors of Marq's art, and we are going to be spreading the love to support one with 40% of today's sales. One of our collectors is running for the Baltimore chapter of Back on My Feet. Through running, Back on My Feet brings an unparalleled community to homelessness services. Homelessness isolates individuals from the norms of everyday life and leaves them distanced from the community support most people rely on daily. A team of Back on My Feet runners is made up of individuals experiencing homelessness alongside teachers, lawyers, public servants, consultants and the list goes on. This is a great opportunity to give back. Here is his direct page here if you are interested in making a donation to support this great cause and a fellow collector as he helps the homeless and embarks on his very first half marathon!

Fill out the contact form below only once, and note that this will end once we receive 200 entries. Good luck!

Pass the Smeeze ...

420...A popular term used to describe a weed smoking time created by the Waldos because they always smoked at 4:20. It has spread into a code for smoking and now April 20th has been established as national pot smoking day (thank you, UrbanDictionary.com). Whatever 420 means to you, we went ahead and took a wild guess it means the same to Mr. Smeezy too. So, we're going to send a few of these your way in honor of this national cannabis day.

Below are 3 main edition (teal) and 3 Silver variant full size (9" x 12") Smeezy Screen Prints, hand embellished by Marq Spusta. Gnome 11 will be sending 50% of the sales of these prints to Doctors Without Borders. (There are also 2 additional embellished Smeezys available today as 1-day auction on eBay). 

These prints are available for purchase as a lottery: $260 for Teals, $420 for Silver (+$15 shipping) and will be going to a select few of you. If you are interested in purchasing, complete the form below and share with us your favorite memory or moment that combines some Spusta Art with some good ganja, and 6 of you will be invoiced via Paypal to get your print! Ends at midnight tonight, PST.

WAIT! There's more! Marq has just added 2 additional Teal (main edition) embellished Smeezys and 2 more unknown variants into the mix! TOTALS 4 MORE prints available for this lotto (not pictured), going for $333 each, and you won't know which one you are getting. If you would rather opt for a Mystery Smeezy direct from the Spusta Studio, enter "MYSTERY SMEEZY" above and you'll be invoiced on Thursday if selected. Thanks for your support!

What Now!?!

This one of a kind rare find is an original painting by Marq Spusta purchased by his roommate in 2003. The painting is titled "What Now!?!" and is signed. This painting (visible 15.5" X 11.5") comes framed (with frame 20 "X 24") and will be shipped via FedEx with customized professional packaging and will be insured, the shipping is $100. This is only available via auction on eBay.

The painting was done shortly after 9/11 and may have been somewhat of an inspiration as Marq described it as having "a lot of stuff going on in his head." The previous owner said he often found new stories each time he looked at the painting from the very diverse cast of characters and it's been on his wall ever since. Now it's time to pass it on! He reached out to Gnome 11 to sell through the stash and support a local charity.

50% of the sale of this piece is going to the Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin, it will not be marked as a charity through eBay for Charity.
