How awesome is this!!!!
🎨 10-DAY MURAL AUCTION! 🎨
Fundraising to upgrade my camera 📸
Kia ora!
My name is Aidan Walbaekken, and over the past four months I’ve been painting a large retaining wall for the community, filled with a mix of diverse cartoon characters.
The idea behind the mural is to bring some colour, creativity and positivity to the area and hopefully contribute to the wellbeing of our community.
I’ve been documenting the whole process and sharing it through the Block Vandal social media page, and the support and engagement from the community has been amazing!
I’m now at a point where I’d love to take the quality of that documentation to the next level. So, I’m auctioning a mural painting service, with all proceeds going towards upgrading my camera equipment. 📸
🎨 THE AUCTION
The winning bidder will get a custom artwork painted by me, with the following details:
• Wall size: Approximately 2.4m x 2.4m
• Your choice of content: You can choose what you’d like painted, with up to 3 characters fitting within the space. (Keep in mind, the larger the character, the more detail I can put into the artwork.)
• Location: The winner must be based in the Wellington region.
• Outside Wellington: I can paint the artwork onto plywood, but the winner will need to cover the cost of the plywood and primer and arrange transportation of the finished artwork. Travel may also be an option, so flick me a message to discuss.
• Valid until: 28 February 2027
• Wall/surface: Can be inside or outside, but the surface should already be painted. Alternatively, I can paint onto a separate fixture, provided it has been installed and primed beforehand.
• Materials: I’ll provide all painting materials.
• Payment: Payment is required once the auction has finished.
💰 HOW TO BID
Comment below with your bid.
Starting bid: $1 — and that is the reserve! 🙌
The auction closes Friday 30 October at 7:30pm.
If there are bids within the final 5 minutes, I’ll contact the final interested bidders together to make sure everyone has a fair opportunity to either place a final bid or bow out.
As always, I’m incredibly grateful for all the support, encouragement and interest in what I’ve been creating.
I’m looking forward to seeing where this auction goes — and hopefully creating something awesome for one of you!
