Here goes...this is the first post to the Comics 4 a cure blogspot. This is will be a place where you can ask questions, comment, and artists can connect with me about the event coming up in September.If you didn't know, comics 4 a cure is a yearly event in which artists, writers, and such donate prints, original pieces, and pages of comic art for the proceeds to go to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
We had a great response last year. we raised a total of $809.00 combined from the percent of sales that famous faces generously donated, the artists doing pieces, and the raffles pieces! Amazing turnout! This year is looking to be even bigger, with more artists, and more great pieces. If the response is what I think it will be, there will not only be a raffle this year but possibly a silent auction for some of the more "major" pieces. News will follow as I know..you'll know. We've already had one donation from Tim Townsend of his art book and it is signed. This is the first item for September..or it may get auctioned off before then as he will be donating a piece for the event as well. So this is just a general heads up. Pics will be up and coming soon and more information as it becomes available. Thanks to everyone for your support last year..and here's to a better year!
Oh and a side note..We also won the award through the LLS for best Tee Shirt design for last years Comics 4 a Cure shirt. Pics of last years design will be posted soon as well. And if you want a shirt from last year let either Neil or I know. I believe the price on the shirts is $15.00..and we can remove the date from the bottom. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from and getting in touch with everyone about the event this year and hope to raise as much as possible for the LLS..not just because I'm a leukemia patient, but because I plan on being a survivor! Thanks guys!
Here are some of the pieces we had last year
A big Thanks to EVERYONE for these last year! Let's make this year even bigger with more spotlight on the event!
