Attention, Cartoonists in the Los Angeles Area!

My friend, master cartoonist Scott Shaw!, is seeking others who can draw for an all-day charity event on Saturday, June 5 in Griffith Park. He's arranging to have a bevy of professional cartoonists do free drawings (caricatures, comic and cartoon characters, animals, special requests, etc.) for the City Of Hope hospital's fun-fair for cancer-afflicted kids and their families. Writes Scott, "You need to be friendly, confident, flexible and tireless. We'll be drawing for about six hours (with short breaks) for hundreds of young kids who will be testing our abilities to quickly draw things and characters we've never been asked to draw before, so it's important be able to think (and draw) on your feet to interact with children comfortably."

If you qualify and you're interested, drop me a note and I'll forward it to Scott, who'll furnish all the details. (Don't just show up.) Sounds like demanding — but very satisfying — work.
