Help out an injured artist and keep Extra Credits going
polycounter lvl 18
Sorry for the stars.. Odd iphone thing
Hey all, just passing on the word: *Allison Theus, lead 2d artist at Divide by Zero Games, and animator for Extra Credits on Escapist Magazine, has suffered some sort of significant tear in her shoulder, and yes it's her drawing arm. *The docs say she'll need surgery soon or she may not be able to continue producing art/drawing.*
The really crap part is her insurance has ruled it a "pre existing condition" due to some injury/issues when she was a swimmer in college. So, she may well have to foot the bill for surgery and rehab out of her own pocket.*
James, the host of EC has sold some equipment to aid Allison and also put up a Rocket Hub page to help raise money to both cover her procedure and keep extra credits going while Allison is out by hiring another artist freelance.*
Their initial goal has been met, but when it comes to medical expense, it's hard to overestimate the actual need, so I'm posting this here to spread, at least some good vibes, and maybe some more cash for the cause. Perhaps Adam can give her some tips on being an offhand artist for a while?
If you want to donate to Allison directly, forgoing the EC, side of things, you can do so through Paypal to imperialalien@hotmail.com.*
If you want to be the interim artist, send samples to Extracreditz@gmail.com
Thanks for reading all.*
