Kevin Bixby hasn't added a story.
A few years ago I did a fundraiser for the Hero Initiative in conjunction with 24 Hour Comic Book Day and was absolutely amazed with the support and generosity I received. Through that fundraiser, we raised over $300 and as a group, the artists participating in the event, raised close to $1000 for the Hero Initiative. I am back again to beg, plead, and pester for help again.
Saturday, May 6th is Free Comic Book Day and comic shops nationwide are participating in the event to celebrate the Comic community. Hero Initiative is a foundation that works with comic creators to provide need whether it be financial or medical.
I have been extremely lucky the past few years to work with a group of artist and creators to help support the Hero Initiative by donating artwork that has been published in the 24 Hour Comic Book and by participating in events to provide sketches for donations during Free Comic Book Day. This is where I need your help. This year, working with Graham Crackers Comics, a group of artists will be in attendance, myself included, at Graham Crackers locations to again provide art for donations. Usually people are so focused on their free comics that the thought of donating for sketches sometimes slips their minds. But we have a goal to support the Hero Initiative!
This year I'm trying to get ahead of the game! For every donation you will receive a special Hero Initiative Free Comic Book Day mini comic from yours truly. This will only be available one time, and the number of copies will depend strictly on the number of donations received. I have added some additional donation "rewards" that will hopefully entice you to donate what you can. 100% of all funds donated will go to the Hero Initiative to help comic creators.
We need your help again! Please check out the rewards below, check out the Hero Initiative at heroiniative.org, and help out as you can! Being the nerdy sort, I can only end by saying...
"Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope!" (Let's be fair, you knew that was coming)

I will come to you (hopefully somewhat local?) and paint a large custom painting for you! You want to throw a party and have all of your friends over so you can make them super jealous? Do it! Treat yo self! You know you've earned it! Please note it does take a few hours and I would need some space, but in the end you're there start to finish!

Not only do you get all the rewards listed, but you will get every single comic I've ever produced (and I'll try to get the Hero Initiative 24 Hour Comic, but it is long sold out, but hey I can try!). What makes this even sweeter is that you will get a painting, one of my own, from my own personal collection. These are paintings that I have cherished and held close because I could not part with them, and now one will be yours. Trust me, this makes me a bit anxious but you have made the commitment to the Hero Initiative so I will make the commitment to you! I'll be honest, you may have to start a fan site or mini museum since you are so committed to the art of Kevin Bixby!
