Often I will quietly donate a good portion of my art proceeds to other artists asking for help, friends, causes ect. Nothing special and Im sure nothing more than most of us do, we all understand what its like to need and how easy it is when you have a little extra.

I post this because I know a lot of people have been looking for opportunities to help out with Puerto Rico and their current struggles, but it is -extremely- difficult to know your money is actually going to help. Theres been a ton of GoFundMes set up by by random people who seemingly have no connection and no real plan on how to even use the funds they are getting, I applaud the effort, but for me personally Im not willing to donate to a stranger.

That said. I know most of you do not know me so I do recognize the irony XD.

HOWEVER.. I will not ask for free moneys, until Oct 9th I will be offering $5 bust sketches with all proceeds going directly to a personal friend who has already invested a substantial amount of her own money to fly herself and supplies personally into Puerto Rico, particularly her home town of Naguabo.

Here is her FB for those who would like to confirm <shared with her permission, please don't harass her>

She is not asking for money, but since I and you are not there to physically hand her the supplies she is asking for -I- am asking you for the money to help offset her costs and bring a little more with her for the people in need.

If you do not want art, please feel free to donate any amount. My Paypal is currently zeroed out, I will show a screen shot of the entire funds raised being sent to her on oct 9th to dissuade any concerns this might not be on the up.

Also anyone who donates ANY amount will be entered into a raffle for a full color, creature design or commission with BG.
