Highlights from Series X

Recent School Donations

March was kind of a crazy month. I wanted to give you all an update on the impacts we made.

Dance Studio: https://www.donorschoose.org/project/mirror-mirror-help-us-create-the-perfe/9111075/

I had the opportunity to host a game night at Vivid Seats' corporate HQ via their community enhancement group, Vivid Cares. Together we raised money for live performance arts, in particular, Ms. Walker's dance studio. Thanks to your support and the support of my fellow Vivid Seats employees, we were able to help Ms. Walker purchase mirrors for her dance classes.

Stop Motion Animation: https://www.donorschoose.org/project/light-camera-create/9085671/

Donorschoose celebrated it's 25th anniversary in March. They generously matched ALL classroom projects. Since the match would help our donation impact go further, I proactively used April's donation to support Ms Farley's classroom. You all know I'm a sucker for stop motion animation. It's a wonderful medium that rewards critical thinking, planning and a lot of discipline.

Author's Notes for "Comics"

I typically walk by a few homeless folks on my way to work. It always gets me thinking about the haves and the have-nots, and reminds me to be grateful for my situation. It also gets me thinking about how some billionaires could literally change these peoples' lives with a fraction of their wealth, but buy mega yachts instead.

...Or, try to kill Superman.

Injustices like these are why I keep this Patreon going. Not all schools are treated equally and I'd like to think we're helping to level the playing field. Under the guidance of wonderful teachers, we provide creative opportunity where there was none previously. Thank you for being a part of this.

Giving Back to Schools

Starting with Series VII, The Grims moved to a subscriber-based model via Patreon. The goal of this was to serve a greater good. 50% of all proceeds generated from Patreon get donated via DonorsChoose.org. This enables us to empower future artists by getting art-oriented teachers the equipment and supplies they need.
