Be A Hero art by Mark Brill

Saturday, May 3^rd is free Comic Book Day and the C.L.A.W. invites you to “Be A Hero!” The CLAW will be at Nerdy Stuffs from Noon to 4 pm. Drawing custom sketches. You can get yourself drawn as the Green Lantern, or get a personalize Batman, or maybe you want an Ogre for office. CLAW’s goal is to raise $1,000 in tip money to help in their efforts of doing wild and crazy events for the community.  Every year the CLAW participates in several events to raise money for the CLAW Student Scholarship Fund. This year’s art student received $1,223. You can help. Come to Nerdy Stuffs on Free Comic Book Day and get a custom sketch done. There will be FREE prints of each artist’s artwork as well. Get a signature! Get a sketch! Get a cool glow-in-the-dark tshirt. The CLAW is looking forward to your support.

Out of town but still want to participate? Just go to the scholarship page and click on the donate button.

It’s been an interesting two years among the Four Eyes, and now that time has come to a close.

As is CLAW tradition this involves making a departing proclamation, and I am happy to proclaim that the membership ignore my fellow departee Larry’s proclamation to run the Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians on 24-hour time.

Thank you all, and have a wonderful week!

Every year the Emerald City Comiccon puts together an book called “Monsters and Dames”. The proceeds go to charity. All the artist who have tables and booths at the convention are invited to submit work. With 160 artists submitting and only 80 pages available competition is fierce to get inside the book. Both Travis Bundy [Talon #20] and Mark Monlux [Talon #3] were given the sad news today that they did not make the cut. Still, we wanted to share the submission with you.
