"My submission to Sketch for Change: a colored man is expected to sprout angelic wings and save us in a contorted, two-party mess. I included my sketch and the colorized version."

Thanks Eric, and everyone else who has been chipping in and helping share this with friends. Our eBay auction is at over $3,600 with 4 days still to go.

Brooklyn, NY | Artist's Site
.......................................................................................................................................................................

When we put Sketch for Change together, we weren't sure if anyone would send in drawings, but we wanted to put the invitation out there. So far the response (and the quality of the work) has been really amazing!

Big thanks to DailyDuJour.com the Obama Art Report and all the other blogs that have linked to us, and folks who have helped spread the word. And of course, to the 21 amazing artists who contributed original drawings. The eBay Auction is heating up, having raised over $3,300, with 5 more days to go!

There is still time to submit a Sketch for Change to be part of our Group art show. Send the originals if you can, or a high res image we can project at the Galery. The show is being planned for Vegas on the weekend before the election to help get out the vote in a key swing state.

More details to be announced as available. And will be posting more submissions soon.

Thanks!

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.

................................................................................................................................................................................................

Bid On an Original Sketch for Change

To bid on one ot the 21 original drawings, visit the Sketch for Change Ebay listing by clicking on an individual image in the Sketch for Change Gallery.
