Daniel Miki's Sketch Cards For 'Comics For Cures'! The Benefit Auction Runs March 28th - April 4th, 2009 With Listings on eBay! Daniel Miki... Best known as an inker in the comic book industry, tells me that he has 8 illustrated sketch cards listed in the 'Sketch Card Auction and Gallery Show for American Cancer Society'! What makes Daniel's contributions to this benefit auction special is that Daniel rarely pencils, thus making these sketch card contributions of his a rather 'rare' set of cards! Besides the first set of four cards shown above with Captain America, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, and the Man-Thing, there is a second set of cards... which you can see for yourself when checking out the auction listings in the link provided below! Here are the details for the benefit from the 'Comics For Cures' web site as this blog post is published: Blue Line Art has been organizing their second annual exhibition and auction of original sketch card art to benefit the American Cancer Society. Their first event in March of 2008 showcased 200 artist with over 1200 sketch cards. They raised over $7,400 for the American Cancer Society and are hoping that this current event will be bigger and better in raising funds. There will be a public exhibition at Comics 2 Games, Florence, Ky location on April 4th 2009. The auction of all the original art cards will go online starting the week before the Sketch Card exhibition and will end that evening. All proceeds from the sale of the cards will go to the American Cancer Society. Bob and Mike Hickey, founders and owners of Blue Line Art, are organizing this fundraiser in honor of Bob’s wife Katie, a breast cancer survivor. Blue Line publishes Sketch Magazine and Graphic Novel Scene and sells Blue Line Art boards to both comic book companies and individual artists. The Hickey family has long been aware of the generosity of the comic book community. All involved are looking forward to another successful event that celebrates the diversity of comic book artists’ unique talents and their heroic spirit of helping those in need!
