This is for a friend of mine, he's doing this to help his move to Los Angeles. He's a cool guy and a good artist, and has been a lot of help when it came to making 404.

COMIC ARTIST DRAWS EPIC FUNDRAISER
Young, broke cartoonist moving to California. Will draw live online for 24 hours to raise funds.


On Wednesday September 10th, 2008 Zack Finfrock ([link]), artist of such hit titles as "Atomic Robo", CAD's "Analog and D-Pad", and the upcoming "Odd Schnozz and the Odd Squad" from Oni Press will be starring in a live 24 hour drawing/illustrating/begging marathon to raise funds for a cross country relocation.

In an effort to pursue further artistic and financial opportunity, Zack will be relocating to California. Specifically, Zack will be moving to Los Angeles, home of movie stars and just about every major production group involved in media and the arts.

As a young artist Zack is duty bound to live a life of Spartan means. His income is governed by work available at a given time and there is no guarantee of income or residuals as a freelance artist. Tampa has been good to Zack, allowing him to make many friends and contacts, but for him to continue to develop professionally he must take advantage of this opportunity and move to California.

Similar only in name to Jed Clampett, Zack does not have the luxury of ‘Black Gold' or ‘Texas Tea' to finance his move to the west coast. To make up for this short coming Zack will be doing custom illustrations and drawings, LIVE via webcam starting at 12:01am on 9/10/08 and stopping at 11:59pm. That is a full 24-hour period of non-stop cartooning. Most drawings should be requests made live during the event.

You can watch and participate in this live marathon illustration event at [link] Donations can be made by clicking on the ChipIn donation link on that page, or they can be made directly by sending payment to darien1605@hotmail.com via PayPal. Zack is trying to raise as much money as possible for this move and to supplement his work for the beginning of his life in California.

Please tell others of this epic comic-art event. Please donate and become part of the future of this young artist. Be the Sam to his Frodo. Be the R2 to his Rebellion. Be the wind beneath his wings.
