My country is crying for help [please keep reading].
As I once said in my stories, my promised next new print would be solidary. A lot of Spanish artists have opened charity commissions but due to my lack of time, this is the most efficient and the best way I found to raise money for the cause as an artist, aside from the help I could offer as a Spaniard myself.
If you live abroad and haven't heard what happened in Spain these last weeks please keep reading on the [CONTEXT] section after the print details below:
-
LIMITED EDITION PRINT
This print mainly aims to raise monetary help for the victims of the Dana storm.
I've printed 100 units of this print in 2 different sizes (50 units of each).
This doesn't mean this print's design won't ever be printed again, it means the first 100 people who get this print will be actively supporting the victims of the Dana storm.
So to make things more "exclusive" this print will be printed in high-quality paper and will have an exclusive design and signature on the B-side. It will also include a surprise Sonic series sticker I haven't revealed yet ;)
Once the 100 units are gone, this illustration will be printed in the classic paper I always use for my prints, with no extras. -
AVAILABLE SIZES AND PAPER WEIGHT:
A4: 280gsm / extra white-textured paper
A3: 170gsm / demi matt coated paper - ALL BENEFITS RAISED FROM THIS PRINT SALE WILL BE DONATED to small businesses in Valencia (Spain) that were heavily damaged or directly destroyed by the massive flood called Dana. You can check some small businesses available to support at this website here, which shows Valencian small businesses that need restoration. Since they are a lot I will mainly focus on supporting small businesses related to essential needs, pet care/animal rescue, and reconstructing/restoration services.
- PROOF OF DONATIONS WILL BE SHARED PUBLICLY. I will provide a screenshot of proof every week, one showing the benefits earned out of the print sales and another one showing that those benefits were donated to a small business or Valencia's city council. Screenshots will be provided in my Instagram channel for those who want to make a follow-up of all the raised money.
[CONTEXT]
Spain, my homeland, was whipped by a huge storm called #DANA
This storm caused MASSIVE floods in Valencia on October 29th. It has been recorded historically as the country's worst flooding. Government and institutions didn't pay attention to the forecast warnings before the disaster, they just thought that it would be just another *slightly* more rainy day, and everyone went to work and study as another normal day.
That negligence left a trail of >2000 missing people, more than 200 deaths, and more than 4500 damaged or directly destroyed infrastructure; including houses, buildings, business, schools, hospitals, etc.
Survivors spent several days and nights without electricity and potable water. Due to the central government's bureaucratic
procedures, they took 4 days to send the army, the Valencian
government didn't accept any help when everything happened, and even volunteer French firefighters had to sneak in without
permission. Practically, the only help Valencians were getting was food, clothes, and essential needs items donated from people all across the country and thousands of volunteers came in waves to help restore Valencia to a minimally habitable place. This was one of the things that made me feel proud of my country: the level of sacrifice for the neighbor in need.
I'm not going to get into political opinions, but this was a "reality slap" that shook the entire country and will never be forgotten. Because no matter who governs us, left or right, our law system is broken, and full of politics that only offer a show, keep their seat warm, and nothing ever truly changes.
People united for once against those at the top instead of fighting their neighbors.
I want to keep supporting Valencia as much as I can, and now you can help too, because 100% of the benefits I earn out of this print first stock will be directly donated to the victims of this mess.
