Deviation Actions
The boyfriend and I are starting our very own ebay store. We are specializing in signed comic books, as well as offering other comics and comic related items. No worries, once we launch, there will be links posted.
But that was only a needed introduction to the point of this journal.
We have decided that we want to do a once a month auction of original, one of a kind, signed artwork donated by artists in the comic book industry and those trying to get into the comic book industry. The special thing about these auctions is that ALL MONEY COLLECTED from highest bid will be donated to The Hero Initiative.
For those of you who don't know what The Hero Initiative is click this www.heroinitiative.org/ it will tell you all about how you can volunteer/donate. To sum up, Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays' creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
So, what we want to know is:
How many of you fantastic creators would be willing to do a one of a kind piece, signed, and donated for us to auction in the name of Hero?
Would you be willing to, if you posted the piece here, make it non-downloadable so that it stays a one of a kind print?
Would you be willing to send us the piece so that we can ensure safe, reliable shipping to the auction winner?
We want to be as fair to the creators as possible when I involve their artwork. So PLEASE give me any input and ideas on this as a creator.
We want to:
Offer a new piece each month to go to this cause
Give the creator links to the piece so they can check on it and see how it is doing
I cannot stress enough, PLEASE give me input as a creator what you would be willing to do, or what you would like to see from something like this. We will be launching next weekend, and would like to see this up and running very soon.
Thank You!

Bill Nichols Sketchbook Project
Seriously cool sketchbook project by the ever-awesome Bill Nichols ~Billnichols (https://www.deviantart.com/billnichols)
All the funding for this project is being pledged by backers. That means you have the unique opportunity to be involved in the funding for a super duper even that will crash into the artworld like an alien spaceship that sends shock waves throughout and gives us all mutant abilities! ... ok, maybe that's a little bit exaggerated, but only a little.
It is a really cool project though, and he's almost 80% to his goal. PLUS, you get cool stuff if you pledge from all the creators involved.
So, GET INVOLVED!
Here's the link to go check it out: http://www.kicks
Do you do comic book fan art?
I'm completely guilty of being a creator junkie. I practically LIVE in Artist Alley at conventions...
So, I'm starting a new series on Wicked Cool Comics for just that. Creators, fan art, comic book artwork of pretty much any kind. (I'd like to keep it PG). Any medium what-so-ever so long as you created it. I'll be scouring the interwebs for these kind of pieces to post weekly. Every piece used will come with full credit and links back to your original post.
The first one will post this Friday and be a regular series after that.
If you have pieces you'd like me to take a look, just drop me a link :D
Enjoy Writing Stuffs?
I'm looking for a couple of people who may be interested in writing comic book reviews, comic book movie info and/or reviews... artist reviews... etc.
Wicked Cool Comics would like to feature a few new writers. If you are interested, or know someone who might be please send me a note. You should include what type of things you would write, and a sample of your writing style. (something short is fine)
We are looking for people who are upbeat and funny, with a good personality and a knowledge of their topic.
Thank You.
