It's a lousy painting...doesn't honor a deviant, doesn't change public opinion, and destroying it doesn't bring the victims back. |

The guitar fund grows which will make people happy when they hear the music. |

Location: Midland, MI | Just thinking out loud, but is selling one of the guys paintings any different than the people who have cashed in writing books about him? Amazon.com has 24 books on the subject. Is it that people object to something directly connected to him, something he created personally, being sold? |

Location: Bluffton, SC | I think what people might object to here is that it re-popularizes Gacy in some way and some of these people apparently do what they do in hopes of eternal notoriety. I would think that is why the victim's relative that Ced notes (in the ebay site write up) bought and destroyed the others.
Typically on the victim's side, absolutely anything that allows the thoughts to resurface is horribly wrong and painful including the books that have been written and are being sold on Amazon. Others feel the need to crusade, i.e. John Walsh.
So, is it different? Some may be if they're medically or psychologically based. Others probably not in my opinion. |

Location: Studio City, California, USA | It is hard to have a debate on a subhect like that, it's like politics or death penalty...ect
So, to me, i bought this painting to "save it" from the flames. Why? Because the one who forgets the past is doomed to re-live it.
I have never put it up, beleive or nnot, but it's been locked up in a box and the box in a drawer since i got it, and i promise you even like that the en tire energy of the room changed, and not for the better. That's why i do not want to sell it for a profit, and it is not my place to destroy it. I don't think any form of art, whatever art that maybe should not be destroy. Kind of the same thaught process as with the nazys who burnt books...ect
And of course to quote one master thinker: “If Art is here to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.” JFK
I like to think that i'm not bad at writing but it's hard to beat that one. hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Anyhow, like my buddy Steph says, guitar fund is growing.
By the way Stephen, since i've told the wife to shut it for a couple of days while i sleep with the Snakeskin i found that the top of the guitar as a signature blended into the design of the finish. I will try to make the name out today and then myabe i can track that person down, if he/her wroked at Ovation and maybe one day i can have that person hold the snakeskin while i take a picture. You were so right, stephen, she plays like butter.
THank you very much
Ced
PS: The Gacy Painting is going to Australia. |

Location: NJ | many people collect stuff from inmates. I personally don't care but I am sure there are a bunch of people who don't care about my warhol/jagger print.
I bet if I bought a ton of those painting they would sell earier than guitars. but then again I have to sleep at night too.

Location: Studio City, California, USA | A friend of mine beleives that you put a little bit of yourself when into whatever you create. I have to say that i beleive him. That painting is defently "weird", bad vibe coming from it, i don't know how to explain but you can feel something is not right.
Kindda like when you look at a Warhol you have that upbeat, wide awake and aware feeling, at least i do, well the Gacy is full of demons if you ask me.
Like Jim says, Good riddance ot it. And it's going far enough so i don't have to worry. I think australia is far enough, no? Would have sent it on Mars freeshipping a little green man wanted it.
Hahahahahahaha!!!!
@ Al: I'll shoot you an email this afternoon about the order. Thanks a lot |

Criminals carry their pathologies into other aspects of their lives. For instance, a rapist will hurt people in other aspects of their lives, it's about hurting and power not sex. In this case, this fuck is locked up and can't act on his fantasies on hurting people weaker than himself, so he disguises them in the art. Good riddence. I hope you buy a nice guitar. |

Location: Studio City, California, USA | I have always thaught, don't ask me why i don't even know, that this painting was hidding something, some kind of a code who would give up the location of more victime's body. Letsnot forget here that Gacy was charged and convicted for about 30 killing and more of yound boys. That's just the number of bodies they found in his backyard. It is beleived that many many many more have yet to be found. Specially since his backyard was basicaly an extention of a forest. That's the kind of stuff that painting does to you. it gets into your head and you start thinking weirdly. That's why i locked it up all those years.
And not to worry, i will get a nice axe with that money, to conter the negative, hahahahaha!!!! I just don't know which one yet. |
