One cool thing about being a comic artist, or an artist in general, is that you can lend your skills and services for good causes. One of my favorite good causes is 'Comics for Cures' which is a sketch-card auction that benefits the American Cancer Society. I participated in it last year and the auction raised a total of $6,000. What you do (or how it was last year, I'm still waiting for email confirmation regarding this since the website has limited information right now) is you send them your address via email, and they send you a set of blank sketch cards. You draw on the cards, send them back, and the cards are all collected together, showcased and auctioned off with all the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. This year's show is on April 3rd, so be sure to send them in before that date!
Another good cause I heard about today from the Seqalab podcast is "Cat Odes"
"...Cat Odes is a comic anthology dedicated to helping out one of the worlds favorite house pets - the cat! The best part about this book is that a majority of the proceeds will be donated to ASPCA®!"
You can donate comic pages, having to do with cats and that are family friendly, and they will be published into the book. I'm going to try to give it a shot, my schedule permitting. The deadline is March 1st.
Let me know if anyone is going to participate in these! :D
