sold and shipped!
So the old textbook I was trying to sell on amazon ended up being sold within 5 hours of posting. High five! This also meant that I had to honor my incentive. So I did. It took me all of 4 minutes.
The following an email that I sent immediately after receiving the order:
Subject: Order information from Amazon seller gpspud20
Hello [name redacted], your order was received. The textbook Microbiology: An Introduction, 9th edition with limited edition Organic Molecule Yellow Cookie Monster (OMYCM) doodle on page 124 will be shipped shortly.
If you took care to read the seller’s comment, you would have noticed that by purchasing this book prior to 08/28/09 you are eligible to receive a PERSONAL sketch of OMYCM and YOU together. Please let me know what location, time of day, and preferred cameos you would like in your PERSONAL sketch. Though my artistic abilities know no bounds, I highly suggest a beach overlooking a beautiful sunset with cameos of the top half of sonic the hedgehog and a ninja turtle.
You are permitted to send me a head shot of yourself if you so desire for artistic accuracy (no creeper), otherwise you will have to settle for my own artistic interpretation of you.
You’re welcome.
-Tim
Unfortunately with no response, this was the email sent after the package was shipped:

Your order was shipped priority mail on August 26, 2009. You should be expecting to receive your order in 2-3 business days.
As you may or may not be aware, by making this purchase prior to Aug 28th you were eligible to receive a personalized sketch. I have inserted this piece of artwork along with the packing slip behind the front cover of the textbook. Please disregard the backside of this artwork, as it is leftover of an old printout of my homework. Thank you for your order and hope you enjoyed your purchasing experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you Friendly Buyer, I too get to benefit from your purchase – I am able to experience this original “one-of-a-kind” Tim Poon masterpiece. For free, which I am very glad about – because I would not liked to have paid a whole textbook’s-worth for this drawing. (Joking, totally joking – it’s worth … more than words).
My favorite is the grass in the bottom right hand corner. It’s really good. Exactly like how I draw my grass too.

btw, you are ridic! that was amusing though it would have been more interesting if the buyer replied.
