20th Annual Dinner Auction for Clear View School
Originally uploaded by Gelatomettista2. Quick heads up for those who collect comic art--I just donated a piece of art to benefit the Clear View School in Briarcliff Manor, NY. The image is pen and ink with wash and whiteout on 11x14 artboard.
Proceeds go to benefit the school which was incidentally co-founded by the late, great Harvey Kurtzman and his wife, Adele. This year, they are honoring Adele for her continued support and good work at the school, which by the way is a day treatment center for autistic and multiply disabled children. They can use every dollar we can offer so please check it out.
Below is the address; the auction starts at 6pm EST this Saturday and the charity dinner runs $100 but I do believe you can call in with a bid in advance or perhaps even during the event. I am not 100% sure but the contact person to call who can you give the info is Anna Hlotyak at 914-941-4653.
Just to make it more interesting...if the winning bid is from a regular poster here on the Metti (yes, we do keep track of who's who), I will throw in another free headshot of a character of your choice. It may take a long time for me to get to it, but I do have a list and you will get it...
So call in with your bids and inquire about other art that is being auctioned off. Apparently, there are a number of high profile names who have contributed such as Frank Miller and Terry Gilliam and Jack Davis. It's all for a great cause.

Cool piece. Wish I had the cash flow to bid for it, but alas, I have none. But I'll defintely spread the word, it's all going to a great cause!
I find it a bit weird that you keep track of the regular posters. I'm imagining a spreadsheet somewhere with all our names and IP addresses. Creepy and big brother-ish! I'm kidding.
Here's a link with some info on the event.

Great looking piece Jim. I love the bats, it reminds me of Batman Begins. I picked up the DVD and saw you in one of the bonus DVD extras, hehe. Is that cityscape NYC, Gotham or just something you plucked out of your imagination?
now i am regretting that i just bought an Ed Benes Countdown to IC page. i wish they would have done the auction via ebay so that guys like us who are off-US could join in.
anyway, great to see you again contribute to a worthy cause, jim.
This institution hired and still hires individuals who molested and molests the children in their care. Giving unwanted hugs and feeling on them on their bodies sexually. The children repeatetly cry out for the adult to stop. Nothing was done. We have child molesters there. don't send your child to be raped. Warring.
