6 Year Old Artist's Popularity Growing on eBay

By Alan Gray, NewsBlaze  

eBay has long been the cornerstone of online auctions, but now it is helping to launch a young artist's career as well.

Joey, a 6 year old artist, has found selling his art on eBay quite rewarding. His mother, eBayer susie_stuff, has been putting Joey's original artwork up for auction with some amazing results. The kindergartener has received tremendous support from several auction advertising sites and his fanbase and customers continue to grow.

Much of Joey's art focuses on his favorite subject, Star Wars. Joey has attracted the attention of Masterful Artist and creator of cartoon strip Acorn Place, K. Douglas MacRae of Skyeproductions.com. The two teamed up in a recent eBay auction (item # 5674643788) selling their renditions of Yoda. Its not just Joey's art that gains great attention, but the creativity and entertainment value of his auctions, such as the latest featuring Joey and Mr.MacRae in full Jedi stance. The auction junkie community, AuctionGab.net, was the winning high bidder on the auction.

Joey's fan base and support has landed him a free online gallery to display his masterpieces. The online gallery was provided by online shopping venue, petpretties.com and his work can be viewed at:

Some of Joey's supporters were contacted recently and the response was overwhelming and a few quotes from his many supporters are reproduced below.

Only the future will tell how far will Joey's art and creative talent take him, but as they say on eBay, we'll be watching!

"Joey has been a great inspiration to everyone out there. We love Joey and have supported his great talent since day one. I have actually won a Joey auction myself and will be placing it inside the Woohoo Mystery Man Hall of Fame. With this type of work at his age I think he has his future well planned! Great talent!"

"AuctionGab prides itself on being Joey's biggest fan! We will always feature his auctions and support his creativity 100%. We applaud Joey's Mom for her work at fostering his talent and encouraging him to success." www.AuctionGab.net Administration

I hope he continues to follow his dream of being an artist and I will always be one of his supporters." Showbren55 of eBay and www.Petpretties.com

"I see so many great eBay sellers trying to get on television shows such as David Letterman, Jay Leno, or Ellen Degeneres and so far without much luck. But I believe 6 year old Joey will be the one who gets asked on all three without even trying. Joey's Mom is one of the most well respected sellers on eBay." SierraFaith, www.GrapevineNewsletters.com
