Heroes 4 Heroes

First off I want to say thank you to all our sponsors and fantastic artists that made our Live Art Fundraiser a huge success! Jay Allison, CEO Comstock Resource was instrumental in getting us the Diamond Club, which I know you will all agree was spectacular. A special thanks goes out to Melissa Terry and her staff at the Diamond Club, as well as the Texas Rangers, for having a great dinner setup and taking care of us all night.
The real stars of the night were the artists who selflessly donated their time and talent to our event. Mark Hay, owner of SplashPage Comic Art, was instrumental in the success of our event. Not only did Mark facilitate the participation of three of comics hottest young artists, Mitch Breitweiser, Marko Djurdjevic, and Kristian Donaldson, but he also purchased a killer Daredevil piece for $1,150! Mitch Breitweiser, artist of “Captain America: The Chosen” created one of the most beautiful Captain America pieces I have ever laid eyes on. This piece is a must see! Breitweiser’s Cap artwork went for $1,200 two weeks before the piece was even created. Donor Jimmy Jeansonne contacted me and said he wanted Mitch’s first piece. Neither one of us had any idea that Mitch would produce a masterpiece. Marko Djurdjevic, Marvel Cover artist, may have had the most talked about piece of the night. Marko painted a Daredevil piece that really captured the anger and gritty determination that Daredevil should have. Marko is a rock star artist with a heart of gold and I think he is destined to be Marvel’s next Superstar. Kristian Donaldson, a second year H4H Live Art veteran, created a piece that I am told is already framed and hanging in the Tull House. Thanks so much for supporting us and participating for a second straight year Kristian!
Top Cow Productions anchored our event with Superstar Artist Marc Silvestri. Marc rocked out a beautiful cover quality “The Darkness” piece (check the pics on our site). Filip Sablik and Eric Basaldua also from Top Cow both produced great pieces as well.
James O’Barr pumped out two stunning pieces of art that really got the crowd excited. James’s artwork raised over $1,800 for H4H in our auction. Phil Hester made the Swamp Thing come alive and a lucky bidder walked away with a steal!
Brian Denham made every Fanboy happy with a beautiful Supergirl pastel. Art, Love, Magic a live art troupe that brought the house down with their larger than life pieces and interactive style. David Rodriguez had a constant crowd all night as he worked on a 8ft x 4ft plywood painting of Rogue vs. Juggernaut. Mike Logocki, co-founder of Art Love Magic really delivered by bringing ten artists that really rounded out our show. Brent Schoonover, creator of “Astronaut Dad” created a really cool “The Shadow” piece. Thanks everyone for all your support and we hope to see you again next year!
