Sorry for being offline lately guys, I feel a little sick and weird. I think my stomach hates me or something.

But on a positive note, the Comic Creators for Freedom (CCF) donation drive to stop human trafficking is now online, and that until the 20th.

127 webcomic creators have volunteered to create an epic snowball fight themed wallpaper. The wallpaper is offered in exchange for a donation. And every red cent goes to the cause.

There are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide- more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year.

This is a pretty big issue. So you know, donate a bit, help out, feel good, get an amazing wallpaper. No downpoints here.

CLICK HERE TO DONATE



Emma from Namesake will be on the wallpaper. She looks adorable along with all the other awesome ladies featured in this.
All these comic book heroes need your help to save the girls and boys of the world.

I had fun drawing Emma getting hit by a snowball for the Comic Creators For Freedom’s new anti-human-trafficking fundraiser. I participated last year too. It's basically a bunch of webcomic creators making a giant wallpaper together. All the download money goes to help stop human trafficking. Calliope is all about defending young girls, so you bet that a Namesake character will be all over that. I'll let you guys know when the wallpaper is up for download, so you can donated if you feel like it.

Some of my good friends are also participating. It's going to rock.

Aside from that... I've been having fun trying to redesign the superheroes Cloak and Dagger. I LOVE these guys. For those of you who don't know them, it's basically a duo of "mutants", aka teens who mutated when experimental drugs were tested on them. The girl developed the power to manipulate and fight with light (she throws "daggers" and purifies people). The guy manipulates darkness and swallows positive things in his big cloak of death. Here's the original :


It's a neat concept. If I ever had to do a mainstream comic, I would want to do these guys 10 times over. I'm going for a more teen look. Dagger is the fighter, so she gets pants... I'm still working on it, but I like where it goes. I want to buy a whole bunch of old issues of these guys. Maybe I will.
