Free Comics for Everyone!
Donation protected
Comics for Everyone! Has been a goal of mine since 2011. I was evicted, later to live and sell art on the streets. I went on to protest and was soon arrested and frequently hassled by police. Within those three years I had lost every shred of belonging, including but not limited to : a laptop, scanner, wacom tablet, and external hard drive.
Some friends (who I'd met through protests) and I had gotten the bright idea to get together the best homeless artists in the city and began "Free F*ckin Comics", a zine we would self-publish and distribute absolutely free, with a wide range of topics and very little limitations. My friends went on to start other projects (one distributes his own soda which he makes from ginger) and I moved north, away from California. Though "Free F*ckin Comics" is gone, the idea lives on in my brain. My hope is to bring it back out into the real world again but this time, freely distributed online and free to print and distribute! I have four (4) comic projects currently but not having the resources I'd had before the police ransacked my things has been making things very difficult, especially now since I'm the only one working on this.
My goal here is to attempt to raise enough money to get these resources back!
Here's a look at a few things I did while I had a laptop
and here's what I've been doing in the meantime
If someone gives an outlandish amount, like a third or something, I'll create an image of anything you desire in Acrylic paint, on a 14"x18" canvas board... and I'll have dinner with you (but only if you really want to.)
