Great Art!

I grabbed this info from Paul Hornschemeier’s blog.

46 Million Art Auction


Inimitable Cartoonist and Fine Human Being Anders Nilsen has pulled together some great artwork for an even greater cause: health care reform. The participating artists are:

John Porcellino, Genevieve Elverum, Chris Ware, Ivan Brunetti, Dan Clowes, Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Jeffrey Brown, Paul Hornschemeier, Todd Baxter, Sonnenzimmer Print Studio, Adam Henry, Kevin Huizenga, Jay Ryan (The Bird Machine Print Studio), Lynda Barry, Lilli Carre, David Heatley, Kyle Obriot, Stephen Eichhorn, Buenaventura Press, Sammy Harkham and the organizer, Anders Nilsen.

The proceeds will go to Democracy for America Now, a national advocacy group running television ads to push the Public Option in democratic swing districts and offering support to congressional members who take a stand for the policy.

My art for the auction (from Beasts Volume 2) is here.

And you can (and should) see all the artwork up for auction by searching for 46 Million on eBay.

Please bid on something. If you’re feeling really generous, feel free to buy me that Todd Baxter photo. It’s amazing. But nowhere near as amazing as people finally having affordable health coverage. So bid now and bid often.

Dirtybirds

As I have mentioned before, I love getting folks to do drawings of the Inkstuds Dirtybird. This one is by Rachel Dukes, who put together the great Side B Anthology. She is currently doing commissions at the cheap price of $15 dollars. Do yourself a favor and get something. Will you do me a Dirtybird?

Comix and Stories

beat-and-bird

Hello People,

This week, I have a couple of interesting things going on, on the old Inkstuds Hour of Power. On Thursday August 20th at 2pm pacific time, Kate Beaton will be live on air, and listeners can call in ask Mz Beaton questions. The phone number for the station is 604-822-2487. If you want to listen live, go to www.citr.ca

Kate will only be on from 2-245. After that, from 245 -330, I will be joined in the studio by a group of degenerates, better known as Brandon Graham, James Stokoe and Lars Brown. The reason for the different programing this week – Vancouver’s very own Comix and Stories small press day of fun.
