My friend Arwen (:devrule404:) needs some help fundraising to save her father's vision!  It would mean so much if you could drop by, help spread the word, donate, or possibly commission her.  She has some gorgeous stuff to offer!  :)  
Many heartfelt thanks in advance, and God bless!

The Art of Survival is a fundraising effort to support the Canadian Cancer society via The Relay For Life.  They are taking donations from artists up until April 15th, and all art received will be displayed in a gallery in Toronto for public viewing before being auctioned off on ebay.  The event aims to raise awareness for Cancer and aid in funding research, as well as to promote art and the artists involved.  I'm donating a personal piece and also doing my best to help spread the word!

I know this is a common tale of late, but I'm in a bit of a bind.  I need to raise a substantial amount of money in the next three months if I'm to move to a new place on schedule.  I've been saving toward that end the past half year, but keep hitting setbacks and having to dig into savings to cover bills and unexpected car maintenance.  I've had to close out my art booth at the mall this month because I can no longer afford the rent, and I've taken a good portion of the stuff in my room to local flea markets.  I'm doing everything I can to scrape up money, and opening the following out of desperation:

Just send me a note.  Prices would start around $55 USD, and vary depending on the level of detail.  Sketches will be removed from the group as they are claimed.

I'm finally feeling better, able to get some sleep now without sinus pressure driving me nuts.  Thanks for all the suggestions and well-wishes!  ^__^;  Still trying to jump-start my muse with random sketches, but at least it's letting some things through.  I'm working on finishing up the lineart for :deveroticatyphon:'s contest prize now, which will hopefully be painted soon.  I have a couple ideas for other paintings stewing away in the corners of my mind; I just haven't been able to get them to work on paper yet.
