As a parent I can relate to the frustrations many parents must have in finding any decent place to help educate their kids. Here in California we suffer from state budget cuts and schools continue to suffer from even more budget cuts when they already have nothing left to lose. So I gathered up some friends. A little over 30 children's book artists (any more and my head would have exploded), and they did their own interpretations of Mac's book "OH NO! (Or How My Science Project Destroyed the World)"and starting August 23rd people can begin buying pieces off of eBay. (There will be two auctions, one starting August 23rd, and another starting on August 30th. There will also be a gallery show where all the pieces will be on display at the Nucleus Gallery starting August 14th. I will also be selling very limited edition prints from the book to go towards the charity as well as copies of the book itself.
Since I'm horrible at explaining things and if any of you need more information I've actually put an entire website together and put together a Youtube trailer to promote the event which you can find here at these links....

That looks amazing Dan! I wish you all a massive success for this worthy charity auction!

A great idea Dan. I'm just starting to make some connections with the Seattle chapter and it seems like a terrific group. Best wishes on hauling in a load of cash for 826LA!
