I just wanted to send out a note to all the geeks, robots, mutants, pirates, artists, nerds, writers, fan boy/girlz and heroes telling you about an upcoming fundraiser. The Hero Foundry continues its mission to increase literacy, inspire creativity, and most importantly, to provide positive role models and moral guidance to today's youth through the comic book medium.  This year we are launching a new reading program that we think will complement our endowments of graphic novels but also allow schools and libraries to directly influence youth with the power comic books. In order to help The Foundry Titan Comics, and The Hero Foundry are joining forces to put on a Live Art Show, Art Auction and Music Event.

To accomplish this though we are looking for artists who would like to participate in the live art show and/or donate some of their art for the auction.  Can you draw, are you creative, do you paint then we need your help!  We are looking any artists that create comic books or create fine art on the canvas then we want you to come help a worthy cause during a night of creative philanthropy or people who own original art and want to generously donate a piece from their private collection for the cause.  We also need people to spread the word about the show so post this on your MySpace page, send out a bulletin, email, if you work or know someone in the media pass it along and see if you can get an article published about the event, if you know artists then contact them to help out, our if you wish to just come and volunteer your time to help make it a successful event we need you!

If you are interested in helping spread the word or participating in the Live Art and/or donating original art for the auction then please email Brian Warthen at brianwarthen@theherofoundry.org or Paul Milligan at thesuperleezard@yahoo.com .
