Greetings, my fellow Chess enthusiasts. My name is John Wallie.

In addition to being a chess player, I also happen to be an artist. So last year I decided I wanted to do a collage portrait of Magnus Carlsen. I cut up magazines sometimes and use those instead of paint. So I sent Alina L'Ami an e-mail asking permission to use one of her excellent photographs and she graciously said yes happy.png

I am trying to sell some of my paintings and collages, so I thought I would post it here to see if any of you are interested. The buy now price is $160. There are more details about it on the e-bay page: https://www.ebay.com/itm/372675616893

Do you still sell the portrait? And, if it’s already gone, do you have something else for sale? I like your style a lot, and it would be cool to have something like this in my living room. Also, supporting local artists is a cool thing to do. 
I already have some paintings in my living room. Most of them are from this family caricature maker. My wife got them for us both, and I really like these because we both look so happy in these pictures. 
But there are still a lot of blank spots that need to be filled with some more beautiful artwork.

If a sub-1000 pixel NFT can go for US$ 24 M, a nice portrait like this can easily go for $700-900 if you find the right buyer. Just to give an idea of the amount of money that circulates in the art market. Think big!

That's a Magnus/Maggie painting - Magnus Carlsen with Maggie Thatcher's hair. That could go for anything between 3 and 6 Million.

Price is subjective, the artist is allowed to set any price they want for their work. Chill.
