Tsunami - The auction

Tsunami project: € 31,550 For Japan.

The auction took place last Saturday, in the Arludik Gallery in Paris, France. Many people were there : artists, journalists, buyers and a few curious tourists. The atmosphere was bustling, between religious silence, whispers, laughter and applause, the auction was an opportunity to see the forces implemented for the first action for the Japanese people, almost two months after the event.

The balance: € 31,550 which will go directly to Japan. Each artist and buyer will be able to track the effective delivery of the donation.

Our action does not end here! The Tsunami blog is open to artists wishing to participate. In addition an artbook called "Magnitude 9" is in preparation in our studios CFSL INK and its profits will be donated to support Japan. This 250 page book will give you the opportunity to see over 230 original works created around this project, it is already on pre-order on the shop Ankama.

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake hit Japan.
One of the four largest earthquakes in history.
Artists from the community, joined by comic book writers and illustrators from all around the world rallied around us, Jean-David Morvan and Sylvain Runberg to form the Tsunami initiative.
We want to collect a maximum of quality drawings in order to hold a fund-raising auction on April 30th at Galerie Arludik in Paris. All the money we'll raise will go to the earthquake's victims. The auction will be followed by an exhibition and a book due out September 8, whose benefits will be offered to an organisation for people affected by the disaster.

Feel free to spread the word!
