Al Nickerson's Most-Awesome Sketchcards... (Part Two) The Hero Initiative had asked me to draw some sketchcards. These sketchcards are illustrated by cartoonists, which are then given to Hero Initiative members. The Hero Initiative is a worthwhile organization, and I was pleased to contribute. With my Hero Initiative sketchcards, I used blue pencil, brush, a bit of Sharpie, and some inky water. I’ll be posting a few cards at a time over the next several days. If you like to draw comics and if you would like to help, then please contribute sketchcards (or anything else) to the Hero Initiative. Al Nickerson's Most-Awesome Sketchcards... (Part One) The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays' creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
