About Us

We're a group of folks from Los Angeles that started having Thursday Dinners to raise money for Barack Obama's Campaign for Change. Dinners soon became a place to brainstorm other ways to help more, from phone banking to registering friends to vote early.


Sketch for Change is one of the ideas we cooked up over dinner.

We invited twenty-one amazing artists attending the recent Baby Tattooville Art Retreat to contribute an original drawing to benefit Barack Obama's Campaign for Change. All work was generously donated.

Contributing Artists Include: Ana Bagayan, Gary Baseman, Glenn Barr, Tim Biskup, Luke Chueh, Dave Cooper, Ara Devejian, Bob Dob, Gris Grimly, Thomas Han, Julita Januszewska, James Jean, Joe Ledbetter, Lola, Brandi Milne, Mark Murphy, Daniel Peacock, Shag, Jeff Soto, Nathan Spoor, and Amanda Visell.

The 21 original drawings will be auctioned off on Ebay, ending October 25th, to raise funds for Barack Obama's final push towards the general election in November.

We also invite submissions from anyone in the world that would like to contribute a Sketch for Change. Click Here To Submit Your Sketch For Change.
