The Dave Stevens/Rocketeer Fund Raising Auction and Show
2 2

11 posts in this topic

The Cartoon Art Museum, in cooperation with The Rocketeer Trust, announces an all-star tribute to Dave Stevens and The Rocketeer, the Museum's latest original art auction fundraiser.

Original artwork created for this auction will be exhibited at the Cartoon Art Museum this spring and will be featured in an exhibition catalog. We already have an impressive list of creators lined up, and as the pieces come in they will be posted here, and at our Cartoon Art Museum page on CAF

Twenty percent of the auction proceeds will go to the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation in honor of Dave Stevens. Dave's sister has graciously given us permission to do this show/auction.

"It is very exciting to have an exhibition at the Cartoon Art Museum honoring Dave’s art legacy, spanning from Saturday morning cartoon art to comic and pin-up art,” says Jennifer Stevens-Bawcum. “I appreciate the Museum's desire to pay tribute to his Rocketeer comic book creation with the auction and exhibition."

The tribute art auction will be followed by an exhibition of Dave Stevens's original Rocketeer artwork this summer. Proceeds from the auction and catalog will also support the Cartoon Art Museum, an educational non-profit institution that will be celebrating its 40th anniversary next year.

If you are a working comic or strip artist and would like to participate, please contact Andrew Farago (gallery@cartoonart.org) for more information.

Hi-

We've finally got these auctions underway. We had some eBay issues with the Charity part; possibly, due to their managed payments system, and we couldn't post as a charity for some reason. But after many phone calls, we finally got it sorted out. So, the first week of auctions started a few days ago.

This week we're starting with four pieces. Jamie Cosley, Keith Harrop, Michael Jantze, and Bill Morrison of Bongo fame have donated pieces. Please bid if a piece speaks to you; the money raised will go towards funding the museum's activities, as well as a portion going to the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation in Dave's name.

In the coming weeks, we'll have pieces by Arron Conley, Ryan Sook, Harry Bliss, Stuart Immonen, Judd Winick, Jeffrey Brown, Partick McDonnell, Mark Badger, Jon Way$hak, Paul Pope, Scott Morse, and many more! So check this URL every week if you are interested, and I will try to remember to post the week's auctions here as a reminder.

Thanks again for your support of the Cartoon Art Museum. It's been a tough few years for non-profits and museums, so if the mood strikes you, throw a bid or two our way!

Our next round of auctions is now live on eBay. This week we have a terrific piece by Aaron Conley, one of my favorite modern artists. He's got that cartoonish yet realistic look I love. He's a great cartoonist if you ask me!  Thanks to Felix for rallying a few of his artists to help out. And, of course, a thank you to all the artists who so graciously donated their time and talent to help us out this year.

Also this week, pieces by Tom Beland, Gemma Correll, Graham Annable, and Joe Staton. Thanks for reading and for supporting the Cartoon Art Museum!
