Following the success of last year’s auction thanks to the amazing generosity of the comics community, Girl-Wonder.org is happy to announce the second Art Et Cetera auction. The web-based auction will be held from October 6-12 and donations are now being accepted.

Art Et Cetera accepts everything, from comics-inspired jewelry to one-of-a-kind dolls to artist commissions to original superhero artwork. Due to legal issues, submitting fanart of licensed characters or character emblems is strongly discouraged. However, all pieces submitted will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Art Et Cetera is the major fundraising event for Girl-Wonder.org. All proceeds will will be used to cover organizational costs like website fees and expenses for the ongoing incorporation process, as well as merchandise development and promotional giveaway items. Girl-Wonder.org is currently registering for non-profit status. All staffers and board members are unpaid volunteers.

For more information, please contact Hannah Dame at hannah.dame@girl-wonder.org or Karen Healey at karen.healey@girl-wonder.org.

Hannah Perlman’s contribution to the auction is a bit different from the other pieces: it hasn’t been drawn yet. That’s because Hannah has donated a piece of custom character art, which she’ll draw to the specifications of the winning bidder, who will also receive both a digital copy of the picture and a signed print (Hannah works primarily digitally, so there won’t be a paper original). This is a great chance for role-players, writers, and anyone with a rich fantasy life to see their characters come to life under Hannah’s talented pen.

The following three images are examples of Hannah’s character art:

The starting bid for this custom piece will be U.S. $18.

If Guy Davis’s gorgeous pages piqued your interest in Baker Street, you’re in luck: Guy has also donated three signed copies of Honor Among Punks, the complete Baker Street graphic novel. As if that’s not enough, he’s also taken the time to draw a piece of character art on the first page of each book!

This past weekend, Girl-Wonder.org made its convention debut at Stumptown Comics Fest in Portland, Oregon. Imagine our joyful surprise when guest-of-honor Shaenon Garrity ran up to our table, introducted herself, and asked if it was to late to donate a piece to the art auction!

What Shaenon gave us was the original art from a strip of her long-running web-and-print sensation, Narbonic. We are still blinking in awe.

The starting bid for this piece will be U.S. $25.
