Art Auction Benefit for Jamie Baker

James Baker, south paw.
This Saturday, there will be a huge art auction for story artist James Baker.  Last December, Jamie suffered a serious stroke, and while he is slowly recovering and learning to adapt, he has accumulated massive medical bills not covered by his insurance.

Jamie's friend and colleague John Stevenson is spearheading an art auction to help.  Here are the specs:

AUCTION KEY DATES
Sat. Nov 9: eBay auction site opens!
11:00am – 5:00pm: public open house & salon-style art viewing
                at Capital Capital*
 2:00pm – 5:00pm: artists’ reception at Capital Capital*
 Sunday, Nov 17: Close bidding – auction ends
 Capital Capital 270 Magnolia Ave., Larkspur, CA 94939

Anyone may come by whenever they like, but we’ve designated 2pm – 5pm as an artists’ reception time, just to make it easier for you to know when to come see your fellow auction comrades. Larkspur is only about 15 mins. from the Golden Gate Bridge.

So if you're in the San Francisco Bay area, put this on your agenda.  There has been a massive response from animation artists contributing artwork - too much to display.
