Help an artist smile

Because Lea has made this easy to spread the message. I give you her words

RACHEL NABORS NEEDS TEAM COMICS!
Rachel Nabors needs some serious dosh for dental surgery. She’s got no insurance (oh, don’t we know how much fun that is), and she must have the surgery. Rachel is a hardworking young manga-ka who’s created hundreds of pages of manga, and self-published her work.  Rachel also educates and supports other cartoonists through her site, MangaPunk and is a member of the women cartoonists collective Women’s Work.

Here’s her post, with pictures and an explanation of her needs and the PayPal button:
http://crowhen.livejournal.com/131452.html

HOW TO BE HELPFUL:
Send whatever you can.
Post your support at her LJ.
Either. Both.
REPOST the URL above and explain what she needs and why. Feel free to copy and paste this post.
Many people giving a tiny bit makes a LOT. Send what you can. When King gets his next check, we’re sending some.

HOW TO BE UNHELPFUL:
Suggesting ANYTHING. Rachel has exhausted avenues for dental school (she doesn’t have one that does surgery), loans (come ON, why is that the default suggestion?),  Hero Initiative, a move to another country (how unbelievably loutish), etc.

Bottom line, Rachel deserves the help. She works hard, she’s worked to make the business better, she’s trustworthy.

Away, my monkeys! Help Rachel! FLY!

Hot Topix again the home for stolen art.

Posted by admin on February 21st, 2008

Jess Fink who has done a number of comics and T-Shirt designs has found that Hot Topix is selling one of her designs.. well almost.

A Hot Topix rep had little to say.

“It is my poiicy to encourage freelancers to use the free Getty photo images as reference points & we also use sketches from the Japanese free clip art books, which have inanimate objects with cute faces & legs etc. which are also very similar to the soap.”

Remember Todd Goldman.

elf and troll chapter 7 starts

Perri finds himself in the clutches of the mysterious stranger who has been following our heroes and seems to have some bad intentions in store for them.  Also, Angus has what appears to be a revealing dream, or is it more of a message for the good-natured Troll.

Check it out, spread the love, share the joy…er…whatever.
