Holidays and better days

secondlina First off, I finished a lovely piece of art for the Namesake website. There's a webcomic update that fall on Christmas (since it's a Saturday0. I don't want to skip an update, but I don't want to put a page on Christmas either. So I made funny holiday art.
It's the Namesake Gang (without Emma and Warrick, who are busy in Oz) in front of the portal/door to Christmas Town from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Seemed like a fitting joke, considering the skeleton man is named Jack too and Burton has his own version of Alice going. Also, I adore those holiday doors from the movies. Those are some cool portals. Not as cool as the little door in Coraline, but close!
Also, Jack's hat cracks me up so bad.
I also drew this :
But this is for the Comic Creator Alliance. What is the Comic Creator Alliance you ask? Well, It's a group of Comic Book Creators (mostly webcomic authors), who have come together, volunteering artistic talents to raise money for the purpose of ending human trafficking. A bunch of artists get together, create a group wallpaper. The wallpapers (and posters) are given for donations and the donations go to help eliminate traffic of children kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery. I'm all for stopping that. So I volunteered. Emma and the Cheshire Cat will be part of the wallpaper.
I'll let you guys know when the wallpaper is available. Donate if you can. Human traffic is a pretty horrible thing. You get to contribute to stopping it and you get art. Good things indeed.
Artists on my list who have female characters? You can also sign up as artists! Please do. The more people, the better!
This is the 5th charity thing i'm getting involved with this year. For a cynic, I sure like signing up for these things.

So...I'm guessing I have to wait until the drive to donate (I didn't see any donation button on that site)?

Thankfully they were stopped. Down with the bloody human trafficing! I watched AiW 2010 way too much...not as much as How to train your dragon though.

You go off the main road for a bit and notice a seemingly desolated bar. You really have to go to the toilet, so you and your friend go in.
The bar is dark, you see a large man standing guard, you go to the bar table, and the waitress is a young girl.
You notice she's attractive, you try to talk to her, she doesn't answer, avoids eye contact, and only nods when taking orders. Judging by her actions, you think she seems really uncomfortable, and she keeps looking to the large man.
You really have to go, and ask for the toilet. You get lost and end up in the back of the bar, in a dumpster alley.
You see two men with a girl and....I can't even type it out.
It ended with me calling the authorities.

Date: 2010-12-14 05:14 pm (UTC)I also adore Jack's hat.
And since I cannot find any Namesake icons, I might have to resort to making one (or two). There will definitely be a Jack one... :DD

Date: 2010-12-15 01:24 am (UTC)We really should make some :D An icon just for the hat would be cool...

Oh look!
But really we should make a whole pile soon. Lazy artists! Lazy!

Date: 2010-12-15 02:41 am (UTC)Also, it sounds like a good cause to me. Let's hope this will raise a lot of money. ^_^
(And yes, I made my own icon.)
