Benefit Print Sale

Hey. You know that saying, when it rains, it pours? Well, it’s been hailstorming right over my family this week. This afternoon my Dad fell two Stories off of scaffolding while working. He survived, thankfully, and also has no head trauma, was not knocked unconscious, or paralyzed. However, he did break his left hand, his foot, and possibly his left shoulder. He’ll be unable to work for 2 months. Thankfully he is covered by my mom’s insurance, but my mom has to take an extended period of time from work off to take care of him.  I’m also currently unemployed due to having just spent the past 3 months traveling for Outliers. We got hit pretty hard by the 2008 housing market crash and the IRS seized all of our family savings two years ago. I’ve never seen my mom look as worried as she did at the hospital tonight.

So, this is what I can do.  I’ve got a whole bunch of Digital Chromogenic 8x10” artist proofs listed for $25.00 on my online web store, here: http://elleperez.bigcartel.com. Art makes really good holiday presents! Or looks good on your wall! 

Any profit is going to go keeping our family afloat for the next few months. 

Anything on my website is available by emailing me at elle.s.perez@gmail.com in any size. 

Thanks y’all. I wish your family, biological or chosen, health and safety this season. 

Elle

ps: I’m working a job in Baltimore this weekend, so print orders will start going out on Monday, December 5th.

Elle is wonderful, their photos are wonderful, and I really hope you’ll seriously consider buying a print.

Craig Thompson’s HABIBI Debuts at SPX 2011 to Benefit CBLDF!

A couple of days ago I lamented that we’d have Craig Thompson at SPX a few weeks before his new book comes out. Well you’ll have to forgive that little bit of subterfuge, because there’s this:

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is proud to host Craig Thompson at this year’s Small Press Expo, and to premiere his eagerly awaited graphic novel HABIBI! Through a special arrangement with Random House, a benefit preview edition of 100 signed & numbered copies of the graphic novel will be available to donors who contribute $100 or more to the CBLDF at SPX. These copies will be available on a first-come, first served basis when the show opens on Saturday, September 10. HABIBI hits stores on September 20.
Hot damn, y’all.

Let's do something for one of our own in Joplin, MO.

Hugh’s strip is extremely funny and he’s got a mighty fine Tumblr for you to throw a follow on as well.  

Crimes Againt Huge Manatees

If you’ve got a few minutes and a few dollars to spare perhaps you could lend a hand to Hugh and the other folks suffering through the devastation in Joplin.

mar-see-ah:

Crimes Against Hugh’s Manatees is written by the incredibly friendly and helpful Hugh. He and his family live in Joplin, MO, which was hit by a horrendous tornado yesterday, less than a quarter mile from his house. And while his family and house are fine, they have no power and no idea when it will come back, and while they are in a better position than many, obviously there will be expenses for his family.

Anyway, if you have $2 to spare, the first year of his webcomic is available for download as a high quality PDF (I have it, it’s amazing, fun to print out at work and flip through regularly), for $1.99.
