    If you’re a regular reader of this site, you know I’m a huge fan of Denton’s Snarky Puppy. The awesome band has made 2 appearances here in Montreal and has rocked the fuck out of this city. Seriously. Their last gig was awesome, pumping, and had everyone in the place grooving.

    Unfortunately, these awesome dudes ran into some trouble in Toronto. Their bus had broken down and during that time, some asshole hooligans broke into it and made way with over $6000 worth of gear. That.fucking.sucks.

    Here’s a video by Sarah Crisman explaining a little more:

    If you’re in Texas, I urge you to head down to that show and party it up for this awesome cause. The FB event can be found here.

    However, there’s people like me, stuck here in Montreal who can’t make it down there and help out with the cause. Sure, I can (and will) donate but I want to take it further.

    See, Snarky Puppy is so insanely awesome that I really want these guys to be back on their feet and playing music and making their way back to Canada. I’m also hoping to redeem a little bit of Canadian trust cause it sucks that this had to happen to them here, in Canada.

    Here’s what I’m thinking. I haven’t done TWITdrawings in a while and I’d like to get back into that groove so how about this – YOU make a donation and I make you a TWITDrawing. It’s a win-win situation. You get a drawing and Snarky Puppy gets a donation that’ll help ‘em get back to their music.

    How do you go about this? It’s simple – just click on the DONATE button at the bottom of this page and put in any amount you want (really, anything!).

    You can also leave special instructions if you want but I usually like to draw what comes to mind. If you want, you can tell me about yourself, what colors you like, how old you are, who your favorite Power Ranger is, etc.

    The drawings will all be digital drawings, I’ll tweet about them once they’re done, and eventually I’ll post them on my blog for all to see.

    If someone makes a high enough donation I’ll draw something on paper and send it via SNAIL MAIL so you can touch it, smell it, and lick it.

    If you’ve never heard of Snarky Puppy or have seen them live, it’s hard to understand why I’d do something like this but then again it’s not about the band but rather that a group of individuals have had their creativity sabotaged by the actions of thieves. The way I see it, creativity is something to be nurtured so that it may grow. I support any creativity in any form and it’s sad to see when something sabotages that. However, it’s in moments like these where fans of creativity can band together and really do something about it.

    So, my friend, click the little DONATE button at the bottom of the page to get your TWITDrawign.

    I’ll leave this up until about November 22nd. Give me 2 – 3 weeks per drawing (depending on the amount of drawings I need to do).
