Yet another batch for Treasure Chest.

The 4th of 20 (34th of 50 in total) sketch cards for Treasure Chest of Art charity project.

 

Over 1000 cards artists committed to for the project were never turned in, so Paul is still asking for help [you can draw whatever you want].

Feel free to contact me and I’ll put you in touch.

Treasure Chests are also still for sale.

 

All proceeds from this project will go to the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation.
