FINAL #LuFamilyFund Auction Starts Now! TRADD MOORE!!
Published on January 8, 2021
After a wild round featuring our Bryan Lee O'Malley lot selling for $1500, our Yuko Shimizu lot selling for $6500, and our James Jean lot selling for a whopping $11000...our final charity art auction starts NOW! Featuring the original art of TRADD MOORE!:
SPIDER-MAN/MS. MARVEL
This 14"X17" beauty was created by Tradd JUST for this event! And he spared no effort in making sure he presented his best work possible, taking an entire week to draw this piece. Although I told Tradd that even something basic would be perfect, he has just one speed. It's certainly not basic. You can watch him talk about it during our COMIC ART LIVE chat on YouTube. I cannot thank Tradd enough for this unparalleled act of kindness and generosity.
In 2019, Marvel commissioned Tradd to draw a cover for MARVEL TEAM-UP featuring Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel. He presented them with several layouts. They did not choose his preferred one. So he took this opportunity to finish the cover that HE wanted to do. This isn't just peak Tradd; this is Tradd setting out to prove a point.
His contribution to our NAACP benefit auctions this past summer netted $12000. Since then, his market has gone supernova. Beyond the public sales you've seen on my site, I've also helped broker private sales for his personal art in recent weeks that are simply mind-boggling. (These sales will be reported to CAF Dealer Market Data once the transactions have been completed.)
Tradd has never been prolific. Chances to acquire his art are few and far between (not surprisingly, his commission list is full for years). This is an opportunity. And it will greatly help people who need it, too. ALL proceeds benefit cancer patients and their families via The Lu Family Fund. Please place your bids on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. OR you can submit your bid to me directly. I will then update social media with the high bid. 48 hour auction ends Sunday, January 10th, at 5PM PST/8PM EST. Thank you, bid high, and good luck!
