Bottleneck Gallery News/Rumors!

I hope its not Daddy.

I was looking forward for that "art father" figure on here.

Since Codeblue was never an option. He seems like he would want to hit me a lot.

4 people messaged us asking if I passed away yesterday after writing that. No not me.

James was an incredibly inspirational dude/friend, that was also an enormous BNG/Welker fan. James shared openly for years about his weight loss journey, his love for all things WSP, BNG and Welker..,.and most definitely inspired tons of people along the way. He's survived by his young daughter.
Joseph was another incredible friend that was a giant Phish fan, poster/art collector and one of the nicest people you would ever want to be around. He's survived by 3 daughters.
Both of them passed away this month. Both of them battled demons. Both of them will be missed sorely by many.

Exactly all of this.

The thing with James that hit me really hard yesterday when I got the news is that I know many of us reached out over the years after seeing a status or something he would post and he would just reply back as if it was nothing. Then it would be a streak of positivity with the weight loss, music and family and you would think oh he's all good but he apparently wasn't. Reading the last few posts on his FB wall was extremely tough.

Obviously we are here if anyone figures out a fundraiser or something.

Yea, it was a rollercoaster for sure. I know a ton of people tried in so many different ways to intervene but at a certain point, it was just out of everyones hands.
A few of us are trying to get permission to auction his collection up publicly and turn those funds into a trust for his daughter. That would be the most ideal scenario for his legacy and her future. I'll post here and wherever else as soon as I know whats what. I spoke with one of James's best friends yesterday morning for a while. His daughters future was talked about for a while. We're hoping we can raise a solid amount for her. Based on James's taste in artwork and knowing how many people care deeply for him and his daughter, hope remains high.
Hug em if you've got em (and are allowed to, safely). Lots of love to everyone.

Duh.

Yea it’s random in the charity orders. If you combined it with a screen print, still eligible.
