Today’s Animals for Animals original watercolor fundraiser is a Knitting Hedgehog!
What a sweet little fellow. Maybe he’s knitting a full-body scarf for a weasel friend.
For sale on Etsy!
Today’s Heifer International fundraising painting-for-sale: a Connected Otter!
It’s not a MacBook. It’s a ShellBook! (that’s why it works underwater.) This otter understands that in today’s wired world, being down on the river bottom eating a fish is no excuse for being out of touch.
Behold! Another day, another fundraising critter for Heifer International. These things keep selling immediately! (If you want a good leap on one then I recommended hanging around my Twitter account between 11 and 3 Pacific.)
I love this one so much, guys. Witness ye the Leggy Llama.
Also already sold! I think I’ll start noodging the price up a little bit, since folks seem to be very enthusiastic about both the paintings and the beneficiary.
After I raise $500 I will produce prints so that those of you without much spending money can contribute, too!
Here’s today’s (already sold) painting for my Animals for Animals fundraiser on behalf of Heifer International: a Possessive Raven!
Turn-offs: sharing. Turn-ons: shiny things. This one was pretty fun to do – painting in those crazy oil-spill highlights that ravens have in their feathers. This one was sold for $50, since it took me a bit longer and has lots of colors.
Total raised so far: $130, which is enough to buy a whole llama or goat! Two of my favorite ungulates of all time!
I did a raven because so many people suggested it, so if there’s a critter you’d like to see me depict next, post a comment.
And now we’re back to full story pages; a piece from the past. Woo, even a few weeks off and I feel rusty! Soon enough we’ll get back into the present day (well, present day circa September, 1768…) and see what Luther’s up to.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it this past weekend, Erika Moen and I, under the supervision of Bill Mudron and Katie Lane, recorded two solid hours of talk about comics, working as a freelancer, and several other topics beside! I’m editing the podcast version, but you can also view the video Ustream version right here on Erika’s channel. Plenty of questions answered about Family Man!
If you check in here but once a week, please also make sure to keep an eye on this journal or my Twitter feed as I sell off original watercolors (every day possible this month!) to raise money for Heifer International.
And lastly, on the afternoon of the 5th I’ll be at the Legends of Webcomics open house here in Portland with Meredith Gran, Aaron Diaz, that jerk Erika again, and Luke Mahan, selling all sorts of fun and exciting things and, surely, being delightful. Details here!
