Update 133. Art for Japan

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 15, 2011, 2:42 PM
I assume many of you know what's going on in Japan but they need our help.
I come from Japan and I have relatives and friends in Japan who I want to support. They are fine and I can't be anymore thankful (some are suffering but still alive). However, there are many other people who needs our support. Although I don't have much time and school is tough, I am more than willing to do this.

They are quick sketches. To make things faster, I want your request on this journal comments if possible (no lies, more efficient). They will be $15 USD each. They will look like this:


All sales will go to the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund by GlobalGiving. I initially intended to donate to the Red Cross however, there seemed to have been an incident that changed my mind. GlobalGiving accepts many forms of payment including paypal which makes it much easier for me.

EDIT (3.13.2011): After I get a certain amount (not decided yet), I am going to wait before actually donating. It's way too fast to take action right now because Japan hasn't asked for help yet (but we are sure they will need this). I am also considering taking this money directly to donation projects in Japan. Even my Japanese friend is saying that things don't look good, but since everyone's in panic there are these donation projects that don't have a clear plan yet. I don't want the money to go wasted, therefore I am trying to collect as much as I can while people are aware. Currently my plan is GlobalGiving, but if I find a better alternative (ideally in Japan), I will donate there. I will give another update once I feel confident with the amount and place. Currently I am aiming for a little over $1k but with the rate it's going at, it might even go more!

EDIT2 (3.15.2011): Best bet was the Japanese Red Cross Society (not American Red Cross) in all my findings however, I made my choice. Instead of this or the GlobalGiving, I am going to fund Save the Children for Japan. My trustworthy friend ~fongmingyun is able to match every dollar if you commission me or these other great artists who are also commissioning for the cause: ~Anarahk, and *na-insoo. Hence if you pay me $15, it will be $30 given to Save the Children. Save the Children is as much worthy of an organization as GlobalGiving.
Commission offer will last until the final week of March.
Oh, I fixed some grammar and reworded the intro LOL....I think I was just confused and frustrated to think straight.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

My paypal is vuscism (at) gmail (dot) com.
I will be working on these sketches mostly during the weekend. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

IMPORTANT: Taking sketch donations until 3/24/2011, Thursday! Please make all your payments before 5:00PM EST on 3/24 to make it count as donations!! Otherwise, I will just have to write the check of the amount I have that day.

Thank you for supporting! Total: $439 USD *some ppl donated more than $15 fyi

This is great! Good luck in raising the money. If you're willing, would you like to offer a commission at our auction here: :iconhelpjapan:? The entire amount of bidders' donations will go to charities aiding Japan, and the artists can choose the charity, if they wish. We're trying to reach as many artists as possible to make it a success!

If you're not able to, that's fine. I'm just trying to spread the word, which is turning out to be very challenging. If you'd like to help us with that, it would be very much appreciated, too! :)

Thank you so much for everything you're doing. :)

You don't make First by leaving work early.
