Hi Phans! It’s Sy Barry.
Many of you may know me as the artist behind The Phantom daily comic strip for 33 years.
Right now I’m working with a group of talented artists to raise funds for art-related programs at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston USA.
Please join me and a slew of international comic artists from July 1st to July 8th for an on-line comic art auction to raise funds to support support the Pediatric Activity Program Fund at the Dana-Farber Jimmy Fund Clinic in Boston, Massachusetts.
I take personal interest in the success of this fundraising effort not only because my heart goes out to patients in need, but also because I’m a grateful patient of Dana-Farber myself. I’ve also had many opportunities to sketch for the Jimmy Fund Clinic patients and I’ve been blown away by their courage and positivity.
During the auction, Saturday 1st July to Saturday 8th July there will be original Phantom drawings available from artists like Jeff Wiegel, Sal Velluto, Keith Williams, Antonio Lemos and myself! And, there will be one-of-a-kind comic art characters such as Batman, Spiderman, Hulk, and Captain America from top contemporary cartoon artists.
Help me support a worthy cause, and add to your art collection at the same time!!
Here’s how you can participate:
- Make a monetary donation here
- Register and participate in the online auction here
- Donate a piece of artwork from your own collection that we can auction to the highest bidder. Contact me at dfl.dfci@gmail.com
Get involved! I appreciate any help you can offer. Together, let’s make this fundraiser a success.
Sincerely,
Sy
