Really nice guy. His wife Louise is really cool too... she acts as his business manager so he has more time to draw. And as an end result, I am now the proud owner of a limited edition print of Guardian in front of the Canadian flag. Woo!

Cool! Sure wish I could draw. Or speak clearly....
Hi all!
Many of you were kind enough to visit us at our little forum, so I thought I'd pay a return visit! :) I often come by here, but now I can post, woot!
DMK, it was very nice meeting you as well. Thanks for coming to our charity event and for supporting a cause that means a lot to us. Dale did several AF sketches over the week-end. If anyone wants to check them out, I created a photo album in a blog I posted today: http://www.daleeaglesham.com/wolf-pr...-c4c-2011.html There was also an Aurora sketch, but I forgot to take a picture of it... I'll see if I can get the proud owner to send me a scan!
Cheers,
Wolfie (a.k.a. Louise)
Hello Wolfie and thanks so much for dropping by. Could you tell us some more about the charity you are supporting? What is the good cause... and how can fans who weren't able to attend the event participate?
By participate I mean "buy a sketch"
Love,
rplass
Is anyone going to the FanExpo in Toronto or the Montreal Comic-con? If so please let me know. Dale sent me an email saying he would/could reserve me a copy of the Guardian print but he isn't into the mailing out aspect yet, so I would need to have someone mail it to me. If you could help an Alpha fan out drop me a line. Thanks,
DIGGER
Also a welcome to Wolfie
Welcome aboard!Quote:

Thanks for the welcome, Digger!Quote:

With the time it takes me to coordinate payment, packaging, shipping, etc., it would cost me about $60 to send out a $20 print... :( I think Dale was trying to protect me by saying no. They really were meant just to sell at the fundraiser. I hope you understand. We do have 50 left, however, so I can bring those to Toronto or Montreal for people to buy.

It costs about $1200 per year per horse, so you can do the math and soon realize they can't survive on one salary (it's run by a family, and only the father works, as a mechanic in Ottawa). It's an incredible place, and they really need help.
For the participation (i.e. sketch), it's like I said to Digger: it was really just meant to be a local event. We're not taking orders for any sketches to be shipped. Dale just doesn't have time to add that to his schedule. You wouldn't want him to fall behind on his AF work, would you?! :-b
There's a link to the refuge in my blog post, if ever you want to send them a donation. Canadians get a tax receipt!

Oh Mik, I'm a hardened pro by now, having been on the toughest comic book MBs for over a decade. I survived the DCMBs are their most vicious, and ended up with a club on there that stood out for being unusually civil. Our forum on Dale's site is an extension of that original club. How awesome is it that the whole AF creative team, including Ben Oliver, has now joined us over there? I think only Sonia isn't a member. Anyway, all that to say that you guys are lovely and not scary at all! :DQuote:
