Above: a detail from the CCF snowball fight wallpaper.
Comic Creators for Freedom, a coalition of 127 cartoonists (myself included) who donated their time and talents to raise funds in conjunction with National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, beat last year's contribution total!
This year, $7,500 was raised, to be divided between Gracehaven House and Love 146, both organizations helping victims of sexual trafficking.
Thanks to Lora Innes, Crystal Yates and all the CCF organizers behind the scenes who helped bring the project to fruition.

127 Comic Creators for Freedom have contributed their talents to making this epic snowball fight wallpaper (a snippet of the epic pic is shown above) as a gift for those who donate to fight human trafficking. The CCF collects your donations and divides them equally between Love146 and Gracehaven.
Please consider donating to these very worthy organizations and get some cool desktop art while you're at it. Artists include Lora Innes, Max Ink, Katie Valeska, myself and many, many more.

I am honored to be taking part, this year, in a project which benefits two organizations devoted to fighting human trafficking and helping victims of human trafficking: Love 146 and Gracehaven.
The project is CCF: Comic Creators for Freedom. Each comic creator who participates contributes an original drawing of one of their female characters (this year's theme: snowball fight!).
All of the images will then be combined into one single wallpaper, available for download when you donate to the cause! 100% of the donations will be split between Love 146 and Gracehaven. The project coincides with National Human Trafficking Awareness Day on January 11th.
I'll be drawing Carmen, from my online pulp/noir strip The Mesh (scheduled to continue in 2012).
More news about this project as January 11th approaches.
