Team Cul de Sac fundraiser t-shirt by Sergio Aragones info

Hi everyone, Chris Sparks. 

Sergio Aragones was kind enough to do the art for our Team Cul de Sac shirt to raise funds for Parkinson's research.

 

I have a few xs,s and m left and more of the large, xl and 2x.

It's $35 a shirt including the shipping, supplies and fees, in the USA. 

Email me at teamculdesac@gmail.com

If you want a shirt and my PayPal email is JEDITRUE@GMAIL.COM

I will contact you as I work through the orders and wait for payment. 

I accept paypal goods and services unless it's a friend we can do friends and family.

All the shirts are WHITE. The back has the Heroescon logo! On front, it's a logo that Richard Thompson did in his own style for his first appearance in 2008.

If you have never been to Heroescon, you should plan for next year. 

Oh BTW, we made 20k at this year's drink and draw!!!!! All for Parkinson's research!

If you need multiple shirts I can do 3 per box. 

Remember, we only have White shirts. 

Invoices will be sent through my personal pp account jeditrue@gmail.com. 

Thank you Christen Ryan-Sanchez and Sergio Aragones!!!!

Jason Chatfield on seeing Richard Thompson originals

When I was here 6 months ago for Cartoon Crossroads Columbus —my first as a guest presenter— I got to see an extra special selection of art by my favourite cartoonist, Richard Thompson. Jenny had pulled them out, especially for me ahead of time.

Seeing Original Richard Thompson art up close is a pretty special experience. Five Stars. Highly recommend.

When I eyeballed Richard's original art for the first time I thought I was having heart palpitations. I pored over the Cul De Sac strips with a magnifying glass, forensically studying his line like Sherlock Holmes trying to solve A Scandal in Bohemia. I can't quite describe how important it is for artists (especially younger artists) to see original art, up close: white-outs, pencil marks and all. I never attended art school, but I've learned more from mushing my eyeball against great art than from any drawing class I've ever tried.
