For this year’s Charity Auction I made this wire sculpture of the GalaCon mascot Canni Soda.For those of you who may be confused by the weird “product placement” in this image there is a little backstory to the Fanta bottle in this image. In one of the first charity auctions at the GalaCon one of the guests of honor had left an empty Fanta bottle standing on the auction table. The bottle was not supposed to have anything to do at all with the auction but people started bidding on it for the good cause and that bottle was sold for a rather high price. Ever since the GalaCon Fanta bottle has become a bit of a meme which brought forth quite a few creative projects from GalaCon visitors
Thank you very much, Bitter Pill :)

There won’t be any offer of just a Fanta bottle. There has been a ban on trying to auction off just a simple Fanta bottle for years. I just set up the Figure with the bottle for this picture but what I donated is not the bottle but the wire sculpture of Canni Soda.
We are going to see what other artists may create to meet the creativity requirement for a fanta related donation ;)
That said, I do wonder what kind of Fanta-related item will end up on auction this year.
