[Update:100/100!!! All spots are filled up, thank you SO much for your support and generosity! Even though spots are filled, I'd encourage you to help donate to the #NepalEarthquake still, as many have lost a lot in the devastating earthquake. If you've sent me email and I haven't replied, PLEASE email me again to let me know. I should have responded to every email coming in!]
Update:
I'm tearing a little as submissions are coming in. So far I've received 69 submissions - so there's 31 spots left! :)
Some of you are sharing your fave verses, your fave childhood cartoon, photos of your children, your dogs, and for some, photos of loved ones who have passed on. I am so grateful for trusting me and sharing a teeny bit of your lives with me. And I can't believe I'm able to use art to open up this space for us. You're all beautiful and dear to me.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. #ArtforNepal

About #ArtforNepal:
I'll be drawing black-and-white cartoons on A5 sized paper with my sharpies and pens, and all pieces will be signed and numbered (eg, 15/100, 78/100, etc). I'm only taking in 100 commissions, and 100% of proceeds will go to victims in Nepal via World Vision. World Vision is aiming to reach 100,000 people with emergency relief. Please donate a minimum of US$100 for each piece. Last day to submit is this Friday 8 May 2015.
If you'd like one, here's what you can do:
1. make a donation to #NepalEarthquake of minimum US$100 via World Vision here: http://www.wvi.org/nepal-earthquake-appeal
(This is a personal project, but I chose World Vision Australia because I'm partnering with them and I believe and support the incredible work they are doing. Here's a list of charities that meets accountability standards for the Nepal quake, and I'd be happy too if you prefer to donate to the others on this list instead: http://www.bbb.org/…/2015/04/nepal-earthquake-donation-tips/ )
2. Forward your receipt or the email showing your proof of payment to red@redhongyi.com . Payment has to be made on/after 3 May 2015.
3. In the email, include a photo of what or who you'd like me to doodle...it can be anything! Your fave cartoon, a photo of your sweetheart, your dog, a verse...or a surprise from me! I'll draw it in my own style... I'll probably Disney-fy or anime them haha! But just don't make me draw a football team of people cos that'll take too much time...unless you want me to resort to drawing stickmen! Haha.
4. PLEASE remember to title your email "Art for Nepal" and include your postal address into the email so I can mail it to you! I'll be mailing them throughout May, latest by 31st May.
The photo attached is for my friend CC of Switzerland. He wanted a drawing of his family and Totoro, so this is what I did!
I'm no pro at cartoons but my childhood dream was to be a cartoonist, and I still find myself doodling cartoons on the side sometimes so I thought I'd put this interest and skill to use for a good cause.
