So the Doug Wright Awards had a super-cool art auction fundraiser and I nearly missed the entire thing.
This is why I keep telling my wife that I should spend more time with comics: reading them, writing about them and reading about them. Otherwise I miss things like the opportunity to own original art by my favourite Canadian artists like Seth, Michael Deforge, John Martz, Michael Cho, Pascal Girard, Chester Brown and so many more. And it’s for a great cause.
Dr Octopus by John Martz
The Crimes of Two-Face by Chester Brown
Medusa by Michael Cho
Venom by Michael Deforge
Check out the entire collection at Brad MacKay’s Flickr stream. And depending on when you read this, whatever is left for sale is available at this eBay link.
The 2013 Doug Wright Awards will be held on Saturday, May 11. While not an official part of the Toronto Comic Arts Festival programming, it honours and celebrates many of the artists whose work is featured at TCAF.

That Venom piece is creepy.

Indeed. Deforge’s work is both cool and disturbing.
