5/8/2007: Todd Assigns "Van Gohn" To Stephen

Knowing your creative side, Stephen, this task should fit you to a tee. Your task, should you choose to accept it, will be to open an eBay auction that will last 1 day (if you do not have the 1 day listing option, then a 3 day listing is OK but will not end before the task is over). You will be auctioning off your very own digital creation, your interpretation of a Van Gogh painting. You may select any painting by Van Gogh and do your best to create something with the same style. You may spend no more than 30 minutes creating your “masterpiece”, we don’t want it to look too good.

In your listing, you must gush about your love for Van Gogh and how you’d like to one day be just like him. Allude to the fact that you are even willing to cut off your ear for inspiration if you must (especially if your masterpiece doesn’t sell).

At the end of the auction, you will send the winning bidder the full-sized JPEG of your
creation (which happens to be the exact image that you are using in the listing).
You should take a screenshot of your initial listing and any other relevant emails, bid
questions, etc. Describe why you chose the painting you chose to “copy” and give a brief
summary of the acivities on the listing by end of the day.
