Be a Hero: Support Oklahoma and Get Free Comics! #TwitterYardSaleOK

We raised some good cash and drew some good stuff. We had a good crowd and everything went… faaaairly smoothly. Bout the best you can ask for on short notice! Thank you again, for everyone who came by and donated.
On the other hand, Tiny Chat is terrible. We’ll be escaping that eventually I’m sure.
We are likely to do this again for sure. But probably at a different venue. We’re getting better at this!

Can I just say how compassionate you are, raising money for the richest nation on earth? Why not raise money for one of the weekly disasters in places where there isn't a government willing to actually do something?

Because then it’d be never ending. And we celebrate the heroes that take up that cause. The noble volunteers that go from country to country, where the help is needed most. But unfortunately, I can’t be that person. But I can do some help at home. And I can do some help for my neighbors. And I can organize in my own small way, compassion between us to our fellows recently struck. You generate this small interest, by doing something, then maybe it inspires the next person who can to do the greater step. And the next person to be inspired to continue on elsewhere.
The challenge is never ending. The world is too big. But you can start small, where you’re a bit more sure your few dollars can help.
Besides, the Red Cross’s mission doesn’t stop when the local disaster is over. That’s what I like about them. You ask it goes to where it’s most needed. And if it’s needed in Bangladesh and we’re welcome there, that’d be wonderful too.
But we gotta start somewhere. And we often start at home.

What is the polite minimum amount to donate before asking for a doodle from an artist? Anonymous
As a rule of thumb? Ten dollars or more. We’ll fufill as many sketches as we can, and hope you’ll be pleased with the results. Again, we have to be reasonable. Ten bucks for a scene with six characters and a full background! Madness!

Impromptu Charity Stream for Moore, OK Hello, we’re a bunch of artists drawing together to raise money for Moore, Oklahoma. The damage is still being counted, but we can start helping now. As artists, we’re raising a bit of money to the Red Cross and other charities in exchange for drawings and sketches.
Come join us, and if you can draw too and know your way around tinychat you’re more than welcome to offer your services. If you’re just looking for drawings, then now’s your chance to get some art from some very awesome people. All proceeds are to be directly given to the charities. We want as few middlemen as possible, so your help goes to the best equipped to do so.
If you’d like a drawing from one of our artists, chat to see who’s available and who’s willing to fulfill your request. Once agreed to, please make a donation to the Red Cross (or any other related charities) and place it in honor of the artist. The Red Cross allows you to put in their e-mail address which confirms for the artist your donation. And then the artist will draw for you!
It’s simpler than it sounds! But it’s all put together rather quickly with duct tape and good will. Please join along. We all just want to help.

murphsdugout answered your question: Impromptu Charity Stream for Moore, OK Please choose another charity. The Red Cross is the fucking worst. Speaking from experience. My hood was hit by Sandy and they did jack shit.
I was hit by Sandy as well, very publicly mentioned how I lost my car. I understand the concern but I’m genuinely of the belief that they did well. Or at least as well as could be expected over such a large disaster area. One thing about the Red Cross is that it makes it easy for an artist to confirm the donation was recieved. BUT as with previous charity streams, as long as we can confirm you’ve donated something to a charity of your choice then it’ll be honored to the best of our ability.
