Draw the World Together

[orangutan]

Wanna be part of something big?

 
I am currently working on a fundraising project that, as an appreciator of the world of comics, I would greatly appreciate your help in reaching its full potential.



The aim:

Comics creators around the world are currently working on pieces of artwork that express who they are as a comics community. By doing this they are aiming to raise funds for the children in the world who will probably never have the opportunity to grow up in the comics world that inspired them as children and enabled them to express that as adults. A way of uniting the whole global comics community in a virtual event that will raise funds for those children less fortunate than ourselves.



Artists currently committed to the project include the following and more are coming in all the time...



Brian Bolland

Dave Gibbons

David Lloyd

Ian Gibson

Minck Oosterveer

Tom Luth

Cam Smith

Jock

Tim Perkins

John Higgins

Jeff Anderson

Dougie Braithwaite/Martin Griffiths

Boo Cook

Don Figueroa

Leigh Gallagher

Lorna Miller

Jon Haward

Marcelo Matere

Alex Milne





Where do you come in?:

We are setting up the possibility for you to be involved in the expansion of this project. The world of comics only survives through the interest of its fans. The work of this project will only survive with the help of people like you. How can you help? Simple. All we ask is that you forward this email on to your friends and fellow comics readers.

The Structure:

There will be two simultaneous virtual events that will coincide at a given time.



On Monday 26th September pieces of work submitted by comics professionals will start to appear on the ?Draw the World Together? website where it will be available to view by way of viewers making a donation to a given charity.

On Monday 17th October a one week auction will begin (through eBay) of all the pieces of original artwork. All funds will again go to the given charity.



All news and results will be available on the site in the last week of October.

 
Lets make the comics community create a difference.

For the gamers out there, Nintendo have revealed their new controller for their upcoming Revolution console.

Looks a bit barmy if you ask me but not without merit.
