After seeing the tragedy in Haiti, I wanted to do something as an artist to help. I am auctioning one of my prints, Purity Kisses, on Ebay and the proceeds from it will be donated to the Haiti Relief fund though
Doctors Without Borders.Please consider bidding and pass this information on to others in your network. The bidding will continue until January 21, 2010.
You can see the listing and bid here.Also
www.140hours.com will be holding an art auction online through Twitter on January 29 to raise funds for Haiti. You can donate a piece of art there to help the cause as well.

By coincidence, I put a drawing of a horse on eBay, too. All proceeds, if any, to go to Red Cross, Haiti.

Its good to see others react and get involved. Good luck with your auctions!
I find that constant marketing of your auction helps keep it in the public eye. Don't think that by putting it on Ebay it will sell itself. Use your networks to circulate the information, Facebook, Twitter, local media. They all help in exposing the idea to people who may wish to bid and donate.
