We will also have a benefit raffle with special prices.

All proceeds will be going to the organization "Emergency- life support for civilian war victims".
In war-thorn countries 7% of victims are soldiers, 93% are civilians, 34% of victims of war are children.
Emergency is an organization that is building hospitals and bringing care and human rights in these countries.

Here's the official website

We believe this humanitarian organization can be a meaningful and peaceful cause to give our support to.
We hope that with both the World Wide SketchCrawl and the art auction we'll be raising a good amount of $$
and maybe even more importantly some awareness for these issues.
Let's make a little difference together ...

post SDCON

Thank you very much to all of you who stopped by the Maverix or Papercutz booths , it was awesome meeting and talking with you all~!

I know it was really hard for all our friends to be able to find us , and we really appreciate your efforts :)


This year we had a really bad luck with our booth location , we not only didn't get the expected corner booth , but we also got placed in a really odd location , :: in the video games and movie companies section.

Coming up in august (date to be determined) we'll planning in having a post con party for those who werent able to make it to SDCON and for those who made it and would like to share their account of SDCON .

Keep checking for updates on dates ~!

great SDCON accounts in :

RELIEF AUCTION FOLLOW UP

The first results are in for the Holiday disaster relief auction. Congratulations to all of you who attended, on top of taking home some great art for the holidays, you also helped Relief raise almost $12,000 in one night to benefit the victims of the eathquake that struck Pakistan and Kashmir; you have made a true difference in this world.

Thanks again to all the artist who donate art, you guys definitely raised the bar.

Also major props go to all the Maverix volunteers and friends who help make this auction possible it would not have been possible without you.

It seems everyone had fun, there were a lot of happy faces at the end of the show with hands filled with amazing art, some people were walking out looking like proud parents.

It’s been an honor for Maverix to have been able to host this amazing event, thanks for bringing your holiday cheer and of course cash and checkbooks.

Soon we will be putting a gallery up with pictures from the show so check back soon.
Until then, happy holidays and have a great 2006.

Once again, the holidays are upon us, and again, we find ourselves in the midst of tragic world events during this joyous time. That's why MAVERIX STUDIOS has decided to use their annual holiday event as an opportunity to help raise money for the many affected by the earthquake that struck Pakistan and Kashmir - by hosting another art auction!

On Thursday Decemeber 15th, 2005, MAVERIX STUDIOS will host a Holiday Relief Art Auction. Thanks to your generosity, last year's art auction raised over $25,000 for the victims of the South East Asian Tsunami. And like last year, we hope to raise money by auctioning 2D and 3D pieces donated by professional artists working in the entertainment industry.100% of the proceeds from this event will be split between the Pakistan Red Crescent Society and Doctors Without Borders to benefit the many victims of the devastating earthquake that recently struck Pakistan and Kashmir.

We're confident that with the help and support of our friends, we can usher in this holiday season and make a difference in the world by helping those that have been less fortunate. Not to mention seeing all of our friends for an evening of holiday fun and scoring some amazing artwork at auction house prices!

If you have questions or are interested in donating art, money or time to this event, please go to: call MAVERIX STUDIOS (415) 522-1717 for more information.
