Any bids on this fine piece of art?

We sat Gage at the computer desk and let him bang away at the keyboard and play with the mouse for a little while (It's an old keyboard). Yes, the computer was on and we were not watching the screen the entire time, so we figured he might hack into the Federal Reserve or something, but he didn't. When we finally took him out of the chair, to our amazement, we found that he had opened Adobe Photoshop and created this masterpiece.

The original work is actually vector based, making it completely scalable. If you want to print a large version to hang on a wall at home, work, or your modern art museum - I can get you the size you need.

There is still debate over the interpretation/meaning/message of this piece (opinions are welcome). We have determined that it evokes feelings of tranquility and luxury with an underlying romanticism. The simplicity of the piece juxtaposed with the off center position of the forms, leading the eye off the page, seems symbolic of the early stage of Gage's life as an artist struggling to make a statement in a world where he is still learning how to express himself, knowing that there is more to come in his future, even if it is unknown (off the page).

However, it is interesting to note that Gage didn't stop at the edge of the page; a few more characters exist off the right side in the Photoshop file. The significance of these letters is yet to be determined, but could suggest that he may possess a certain foresight of what is soon to come. The winning bidder will learn what these characters are.

We hope that Gage will be able to help us better understand his methodology and the meaning of this work once he is able to talk a bit more. For now, the title will remain "Untitled" because we wouldn't want to impose a title on a work that the artist might not agree with.

I don't have a handle of what a piece of this sort should sell for yet, but if you'd like to place a bid for it, let me know and I'll consider it.

are you selling the original or just copies, framed or unframed. I love original art an I'm willing to make an offer (silent bid) It's an interesting color scheme. Keep it up Gage.
