CAN I HAVE THE ATTENTION OF THE CLASS FOR ONE SECOND!

As some of you may be aware the world is a bit fucked at the moment. People are struggling. Companies are struggling. Nice companies. Companies like your local comic book shop.

Loads of comic creators are doing something about it and are trying to raise money to help out on twitter using the hashtag #Creators4Comics

SO!

Go see if there’s anything you can do

Hey guys! It’s with great pride and joy that we announce #aussies4comics. We are a collective of comic book artists and illustrators from all over Australia. Our mission is to raise funds for Australian comic shops that are doing it tough due to the impact of COVID-19. This support will be through a series of daily art auctions that will take place over the next few weeks, and once finalised, we will be splitting the profits evenly between selected brick and mortar comic shops across Australia. This will be a one-off no strings attached lump sum payment. Comic shops are an important part of our community. We’ve watched our peers and fellow creators, led by @jimlee , pour out support for their shops across the United States. Our cousins in Canada have been doing the same for their shops, too. There was no way we could just sit back and not support our local Aussie shops! Without further ado, here is a list of the artists and creators who have donated their time and original art to kick things off: @nicolascottart @tomtaylormade (Tom draws a mean Batman!) Colin Wilson @davidyardin Jon Sommariva @mark_raats @deanrankine Al Barrionuevo @thechamba @loopydavestuff @abelart @waynenichols_artist @mikekrome @mybeautifulmonsters @stewartmckenny We have seen what everyone is cooking up, and this is an art auction event you will not want to miss! Want to help us? Please do! Like and help us signal boost this as well as our auction posts. Help spread the word, and especially dig deep (if you are in the position to do so) in the auctions. The auctions will be open to worldwide bids, so we welcome all our international friends to take part. Are you an artist friend who wants to get involved? Just DM me. The more the merrier. This Sunday, 3rd of May, (Sydney time) we’ll be doing an epic Facebook livestream, where you will be able to ask questions live, hang out, see some behind the scenes art and hear tales of comic shops from most of our featured creators, and perhaps a few special surprise guests. Let's show some love and support for our local comic shops together! Thank you, #Aussies4comics #artistoninstagram #creators4comics #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kWBY0AlAS/?igshid=1o85hzdq9plv0

Jay & Miles record your voicemail greeting

Private (remote) screening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine with Jay (at a level of intoxication of your choice)

In which it is probably not actually possible to be too nasty for Earth-295; Sinister is on nobody’s side but his own; Vulcan is still the worst Summers in the multiverse; the Bedlam Brothers are too delightful for the EMF; Heaven is just straight-up Rick’s Bar now; Polaris of Earth-295 is the saddest Polaris; Scott Summers and Jean Grey make a good team in most universes; and the metaphors of 1995 read very differently in 2020.

X-PLAINED:

Nathaniel Essex of Earth-1610

A regrettable tattoo

#Creators4Comics

Scott Summers (Cyclops) of Earth-295

Alex Summers (Havok) of Earth-295

2020 Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award winners announced

The Hero Initiative, creators4comics, the Comicbook United Fund and Binc have been named the recipients of the 2020 Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award. Named for Beany and Cecil creator Bob Clampett, the award is given out annually as part of the Eisner Award ceremony each July.

The Hero Initiative received the award for its ongoing charity efforts; the organization has been helping comic creators in need for more than 20 years.

“Hero Initiative is honored to receive the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award for 2020. Now more than ever, organizations such as Hero Initiative, which helps comic book creators in medical and financial need, are desperately needed,” Jim McLauchlin, on behalf of the Hero Initiative, said in a statement. “We continue to focus on this mission, and continually build for the future. Hero Initiative would not exist without the widespread support and assistance of creators, fans, and publishers all over the world. We share this award with them. We are grateful, humbled, and very appreciative of the recognition.”

Both creators4comics and the Comicbook United Fund were recognized for their fundraising efforts during the early days of the COVID-19 crisis to raise money for comic book retailers through the nonprofit Book Industry Charitable Foundation, or Binc. Gwenda Bond, Kami Garcia and Sam Humphries co-founded creators4comics, while the Comicbook United Fund was started by the Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group, DC Comics and Binc.

“The Binc Foundation is honored to accept Comic-Con’s Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award. On behalf of each of the comic retailers your support allowed us to help, we thank this comic community for valuing the care of one another in times of crisis. We are grateful to Oni-Lion Forge, Polarity, DC, and the Creators4Comics team, for their leadership and quick action at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when direct market retailers needed them most. Receiving this award on behalf of you, our donors, volunteers, and all those who have ever advocated for Binc and the Comicbook United Fund is a point of pride for us. The comic community’s embracement of the Binc Foundation has changed lives. With your continued support, we will be a place retailers can call for help for years to come. We are proud to share this recognition with all those who make this work possible,” said Pam French, Executive Director, Binc Foundation.

This year’s Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards Ceremony will go live at Comic-Con@Home on Friday, July 24 at 7 p.m. Pacific. Bob Clampett’s daughter, Ruth Clampett, will present the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Awards.

I found some mistakes with ink blotches on previous chapters. They will be swept away when I have a moment. I’m only human. New chapters of Final Arctic Fantasy and Lola: Demon Hunter have been posted onto webtoon. 🗯🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🎸🍄🍄🍄🥁🥁🥁🐲⚡️⚡️⚡️🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑😵😵😵😵😵😈😂😂😂 If you enjoy Samurai Bears and demon slaying super heroes these may be for you. I’ve reached the threshold of people I actually know a long ago, and I’m deliberately keeping myself in an isolated environment. Staring longingly at my pencils and planning my gallery of…COMIC BOOK ART! If you could reach out to a friend that would enjoy these stories or perhaps read them. I would greatly appreciate your efforts. You would be in a word, dope. Or as I’d say ten years ago cool. There’s also my threadless store. Carl what’s a threadless store?????🤔 It’s a place where I sell my drawings on a variety of products including T-Shirts and mugs. All kinds of things, it’s crazy. Like someone I know🤗 Just click the link in my bio or go to carllucas.threadless.com it’s simple. It’s easy. Go look at my assortment of cats. I may have started uploading to teepublic🤫 but more on that later. Speaking of later… this is goodbye. I have nothing else to say. I’m going to bury myself in Ghost In A Shell, blankets and cats. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy Each other. If you’ve read this far and my older posts. THANK YOU🗯 I appreciate it greatly. Happy reading, happy drawing✍️MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU🖖 #webtoon #comicbookart #comics #creatingcomics #creativity #creators4comics #makingconnections #makingmemories #makingcomics #threadlessartistshops #bw #webcomics #igccomics #igcomiccommunity #igcomic #igcomicfamily #cartoon #mangaart #manga #comicbooknerd #updates #newupdates #chapters #comix #drawing #customshirts #mugs #style #artofinstagram #artistsupport https://www.instagram.com/p/CSK9TzKsJTw/?utm_medium=tumblr
