The Mona Loompa for Glasgow Children's Hospital

Read more ...


I'm Jim of the long-running Microsoft Paint based art page Jim'll Paint It.

I recently painted a Mona Lisa style portrait of Kirsty Paterson who is best known as the morose Oompa Loompa from the now world famous Willy's Chocolate Experience incident.

There are - and will only ever be - three copies of this piece. Kirsty, being the star she is, has one, I'm keeping one and the final one is being put up for auction to raise money for Glasgow Children's Hospital.

This is your chance to own a unique and rare portrait of a moment that will define an era. Painstakingly rendered on Microsoft Paint - in contrast to the zero-effort AI artwork that was used to promote Willy's Chocolate Experience.

The winner of the auction will receive the print framed, as pictured along with a selection of other unique Jim'll Paint It goodies. 100% of the final price will go to Glasgow Children's Hospital so please bid generously.
Close.

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
