If it doesn't sell in 7 days it gets destroyed- and you can watch.
- Save My Studies
- My name is Robert D'Agostino and I am an artist. I'm conducting an experiment called "Save My Studies". It asks the question- "Will people buy my work in order to stop it's destruction? Will anyone Save My Studies?" HOW IT WORKS- When a study is complete and ready for sale, I put it up for auction on eBay for 7 days. At that time, if the minimum bid isn't met I will destroy the work, film the tragic ritual and post the video for all to see. HOW IT'S PRICED- It's based on a wage of $10 pr/hr. I keep track of the hours spent on the study and multiply that by $10. COME ALONG- I invite you to follow this experiment, I invite you to watch the inevitable destruction and, of course, I invite you to become a collector of my work and "SAVE MY STUDIES"

Holy crap, you've done lost your mind Bobby. Actually I kinda like it. You need to use more firearms in the destruction process. Way cooler.
PS- When you gonna get that Duck's Ass cut off the back of your head??
I like your concept. In selling anything you need to create a sense of urgency otherwise people get time to think about it and decide to spend their money on some other priority. I have an idea. How about painting historic buildings in danger of demolition. It could help people comprehend the urgency of the situation. For example paint the Kingsley True House on East Genesee Street before they tear it down or the South Presbyterian Church on South Salina Street. I'd bid on those paintings. I'm sure others would as well. I can help with the concept if you wish. I may have other jobs for you as well. Like the Carleton Island Villa. See www.HistoricSyracuseChurch.com and www.CarletonIslandVilla.com

Heh, bet you can figure out who this is. I wondered where you went. This looks like an awesome thing to get you started, I knew you'd eventualy be able to pull of being a full-time artist, I know you've always wanted to. You continue to be my idol artwise, so keep up the good work, and good luck!
Are you the Rob D'Agostino who taught an evening adult education class on potraits at OCC a few years ago.
If you are I am one of your students from that class. I would like to thank you so much. I learned alot from you. I never thought I would be able to create portraits that people would actually pay for. Last year I sold 5 in a month.
But its not even the money it is seeing the look on peoples faces and knowing they love the work I do that is so rewarding.
Thanks, I would never be able to do that if I had not taken classes from you. You are a great artist and an awesome teacher.
Good luck to you.
Thanks
