Way back on January 1st (this year), I wrote an email to 100 Australian artists and cartoonists, asking them if they would be interested in contributing to a comic anthology without reward. (I know that that would turn many off: most, understandably, would prefer paying jobs.) They were given a June 30 deadline to send in submissions. There are just over three weeks until the deadline closes, so I thought I would publicly announce these plans now. All contributors (50 male and 50 female) were invited to include a maximum of five pages in the volume with the theme of "Australia". The works are to be collated in a hardback book, with all proceeds from all sales going to a charity of my choice. After some negotiations, I am pleased to announce that all funds raised will go to beyondblue
As some of you know (and many of you don't) my daughter is presently receiving some on-going mental health input after a trauma in February. Even in my day to day work (as a Mental Health Nurse in a major Brisbane Hospital's Emergency Department), I sometimes come in contact people who work for this organisation. I am more than satisfied with my choice of charity to benefit from the sale of this book.
But do you know what? I have not come up with an idea for a name of the book! I welcome your input in coming up with a name and helping me out here... Please leave all thoughts in the Comments section of this blog.
