7 Year Old Cashing in on eBay
Since October, the 7-year-old Union boy’s artwork has fetched about $5,000 at auction on eBay. The money from the sale of the 30 or so paintings and drawings is being used to help pay Maddox’s medical expenses. He’s been fighting cancer for more than a year.
Earlier this week, the online casino GoldenPalace.com, known for buying things such as William Shatner’s kidney stone and a grilled cheese sandwich with an image of the Virgin Mary toasted onto it, purchased 11 of the boy’s art pieces for more than $2,800. Singer Ronnie McDowell bought a Maddox Johnson painting of flowers in a vase for $1,000 several weeks ago.
“I got to tell you, I think it’s pretty talented for a 7-year-old boy,” said GoldenPalace.com spokesman Jeff Kay, whose company paid more than $1,000 for one of Maddox’s paintings.
