I've installed a widget in the sidebar of Gnu Makins that comes from Cooqy.com. Cooqy widgets make it possible for eBay sellers to advertise their entire eBay inventory anywhere on the web with their customizable, eye-catching Showcase widget and Storefront widget. They also have a widget for sellers with a hot little search feature, but its a little too fat to fit my sidebar.
The widget I've installed is the Showcase widget and shows some of my watch offerings. Pretty cool!

Heroes of the Alamo Lighter
Here's a new item I've got running on eBay...this is my Heroes of the Alamo flip-top lighter. A very cool windproof lighter featuring an original design incorporating portraits of three of the Heroes of the Alamo...Col. Travis, Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett...along with a silhouette of the Alamo. I have these lighters made for me in China, and the company does a great job of taking my artwork and enameling it to the metal lighter. Quality work. If I still lived in Texas I would carry this lighter. Proudly.

Johnny Depp as John Dillinger
No, I'm not a huge Johnny Depp fan, but I am looking forward to seeing the new movie now filming, Public Enemies, in which Johnny Depp plays notorious gangster John Dillinger.
Grabbed this picture of Depp as Dillinger from Film School Rejects,
This is Depp the first day of shooting a few weeks ago up in Columbus, Wisconsin.
Depp's a pretty boy, definitely, but Dillinger wasn't the worst looking bum himself.
I have a few different items that I sell on eBay that feature John Dillinger...a watch, a clock, a belt buckle and a flip-top lighter. The art I use is actually adapted from a mugshot from one of his run-ins with John Law. If Johnny Depp can capture that same cocky smirk he may have a winner of a movie.

Amelia Earhart on American Experience
A great biography of Amelia Earhart on Public TV's "American Experience" tonight. What a fascinating person she was. A star of her time and would have been a superstar if she had lived in today's world.
I have a couple of Amelia Earhart items that I sell in my eBay store...All-4-Corners.
I offer an Earhart Watch and an Earhart Clock that use the same face design. In the works are some other items, including a flip-top lighter and other timepieces. Will update when those are completed.
Flame On - Jack Russell Terriers & Blue Heelers
Couple of new flip-top lighter designs up on eBay starting today. I thought I'd give dog breeds a try and see what the demand is.
So, here are the Australian Cattle Dog Lighter and the Jack Russell Terrier Lighter...
I really have no feel for the market for dog designs.
On one hand, every breed has a legion of fans. On the other hand, there's tons of stuff out there.
Addendum - The Heeler lighter sold about 30 minutes after listing on eBay. There's a reason I've always loved those little ankle biters.

This entry is a cut and paste from my tumblr, the info being an RSS feed. Let's see how this scribefire submission lays out. Could be a simple way of getting current auction information onto my blog.
Addendum: Not satisfactory. Lay-out was all wrong, way too much white space. had to go in and manually clean things up.
