EGAKU - Draw for Japan


I must draw your attention to this important event happening this Sunday. I have sent along some prints which will be sold at the fair. Here is the info:

"Weeks have passed yet the sheer scale of devastation wrought by the recent earthquake and tsunami on the east coast of Japan is still impossible to fully comprehend.
Watching the scenes unfold on TV screens those of us with friends and family in the region were left with a horrible feeling of disconnection and a sense of uselessness.

To counter this however we can, we introduce EGAKU: a one/two day event to raise money for the Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund.
Onsale will be zines, prints, ceramics, original drawings, books and much more, from some of the most renowned illustrators and designers of today -
Rob Ryan, Nobrow, Okido, Anorak Magazine, Jean Jullien, Laura Carlin, Frinton Press, Peepshow, Luke Best, Hato Press, Lazy Oaf, Oh Comely, Winged Chariot, and many many more.

EGAKU means "draw" and "imagine " in Japanese. We hope that we can support Japanese people EGAKU ( imagine) a peaceful future by EGAKU (drawing).
100% of all money made will be donated to the relief effort, so please join us on 3rd of April at Jaguar Shoes for those suffering in Japan.
