Sega have been producing popular video games (Sonic the Hedgehog, Virtua Fighter) and systems for decades, and without Sega we’d never have been able to run this event! The unreleased Sega CD game Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors is where the Desert Bus minigame was originally found. This year they’ve donated a bunch of download codes for much better games.

Apparently the father of the man who has been delivering our food all week is an AMAZING ARTIST by the name of Iain McCaig and he has, spur-of-the-moment, donated an original piece of art from the “Fleeting Aven” card from Onslaught. This is beautiful. I don’t know anything about Magic, but I know that this is beautiful.

Iain McCaig is best known for his cover art for Jethro Tull’s ‘Broadsword and the Beast’ and for his Star Wars designs for Queen Amidala and Darth Maul. His other films include ‘Interview With the Vampire’, ‘Dracula’, ‘Terminator 2’, ‘Hook’, ‘Peter Pan’, ‘Charlotte’s Web’, ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’, ‘John Carter’, ‘Jack the Giant Killer’, and ‘The Avengers’. He is also a Chesley nominated illustrator, having illustrated books ranging from ‘Fighting Fantasy’ to J.R.R.Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’.

In October 2008, Palace Press International published ‘Shadowline-the Art of Iain McCaig’, a 28 year retrospective of his film and publishing work.

Currently, McCaig is developing an original live-action feature film, ‘The Book of Secrets’.

This auction will be held live at 2pm on Thursday, November 22.

Make sure you have a donor account and are logged in. You can bid on this through our chat.

Bill’s mom has once again busted out another embarrassing Bill story, which we decided to turn into an art challenge. Turns out when Bill was a kid, he wanted his mom to buy him some maxi pads since he’d heard they come with “wings”.

We challenged our Desert Bus viewers to draw Bill with wings and he picked his favourite. Congrats Jason!
