Becky Cloonan created this piece for an auction with proceeds to help David Pirkola.

David Pirkola, the owner and operator of the Apparitions Comics store in Michigan, was robbed at his store and shot by the robber. He’s in stable but critical condition. If you’re interested in helping, Ifanboy has set up a paypal fund to help cover his medical bills.

Fund Raising for Evangelization of West African Muslims

Penguin November 22nd, 2007

I did my first promotional and non-personal piece. The following is a video to raise awareness and funds for the evangelization of West African Muslims.

There were definitely some limitations, like not being able to shoot anything in Africa, but I think it came out well.

Tote for teachers

Ninja November 12th, 2007

Ninja says

This tote made me think of my chic friend who is an elementary teacher. ^__^

Designer Zac Posen teamed up with DHL to create this stylish, limited-edition, Italian leather bag to benefit teachers. Even though the bag boasts an expandable interior, I wonder how much stuff you could actually fit in there. The boldly colored (DHL branding colors) bags go for $400 USD, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the non profit org, TeachersCount.
