Yup but the buyer never sent a feed back to the seller. My friend email him to know what happened...
Is it me or in the last picture of that painting, the little girl's mouth is open???? That's some freaky stuff man.
Chopsticks, wow I never noticed that until you pointed it out. Weird indeed!
There are several things that I personally found fuhked up about the painting w/o the tale of the boy removing himself from it.
First thing I noticed was the obvious torture device the girl is holding. Looks like a shocking device. Why does she have it? What are the intentions?
Looking closer, you see the scowl on the boys face. He is obviously not happy with the current situation, for whatever reason. The most obvious reason I can think of is the girl with the device, but that may not be the entire story.
Then I noticed how the girl is made to take on the appearance of a soulless doll. The hinged arms, and missing eyes, yet is still given life like qualities. A meaning to this? Is this a statement to be made about females in general, this little girl only, or small children in general?
Then, in the background, I noticed the images of hands reaching out for the kids in the glass, behind the children. Did the artist intend for this to represent the images of a thousand lost souls, clamoring to be next to youth? As often said in certain sub cultures, the spirits of the dead often times desire the most to be around youth, as it is something they cannot possess any longer.
It took a really warped mind to come up with this painting but I find it a very interesting piece of work, to say the least. Though it is disturbing on so many levels for us, it does cause an honest reaction, and that is what art is about.
It's too bad there's no way to contact the buyer a few months from now to see if anything happened.

Felonious,
My friend and i did contact the buyer and here's the answer! :
Hi Patrick and Mike,
I did buy and receive the painting in late February of 2000. Since that time I have been interviewed by web magazines, newspapers and almost got a spot on Fox's
" In Search Of ". Also I have received 100's of emails from curious individuals and they have also relayed reactions they have had to viewing this work. I also had high quality prints made that I have been marketing. So, the auction and the painting were both very real. Is the painting haunted ? That's the real question.
Thanks for your inquiry.
Kim
Cool no?

fletcher,
what is your connect speed? I am on a dial up (28.8) and they came up fine. You could try and go the the site http://www.whattheheck.com/ebay/ then do a search on Haunted, then follow the link. Or right mouse click on the red x box and bring the the properties and copy that link into your browser. the first link is : link

Not really, pretty typical for a dial up ISP. Reason I was asking is becuase I was in Topeka KS a few weeks ago and got a connect speed of 2.6 kbps from an earthlink dial up - supposed to be 56K. You can right mouse click on each image and bring up the properties and then copy and paste into your browser then you should be able to see them. If you are running dialup you may want to look into broadband (probably about 20 dollars more per month), the first time you bring up your browser with the broadband you will be hooked
later
Here ya go Fletch:
1837, that is sweet! GET MORE INFO though...we need more info! Ask them for links to any other sites where we might be able to read more about it. Thanks for the effort, it's appreciated.
I seem to be missing the kid exiting the picture also. Can't seem to understand what they mean by that. Well, if it worked for the "Blair Witch Project," I guess it can help sell this painting.
