Today has been declared ‘Blogging for Disaster Relief Day’. It might sound foolish but i feel like we have to chime in somehow. Horhaus is a part of the ‘BLOGOSPHERE’ whether we like it or not. I refuse to allow laziness or apathy to creep over our sacred little piece of cyber-space. I felt we had to contribute. So this is it. It’s not much but it will have to do.

Kody Chamberlain, artist of IDW’s ‘30 days of night: Bloodsucker Tales’ has created a print to benefit the Red Cross Hurricane Katarina relief fund. He’s from South Louisiana and has friends and family that used to live in New Orleans. Most of them have lost their homes and are in shelters, living with him, or other relatives. He’s got 200 of these beautiful pieces selling for a very reasonable $50US each.

Rob Liefeld has announced that he has donated all of his original art from Teen Titans #27 to be auctioned on eBay (by The Cargo Hold), with 100% of the proceeds being donated to the Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina relief.

The Bendis Board has set up an auction of comics, art, and related items to benefit the agencies helping those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Additionally, Brian Bendis said that he will give signed scripts of any issue of his work (donator’s choice) in return for a $100 donation to the Red Cross.

Blank Label Comics is hosting a webcomic telethon to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina. It will be held the week of Sept. 12.

All of the revenue generated from site advertising, donations, and proceeds from merchandise bought through the site will be donated to the Red Cross to help in disaster relief.

If you’d like to participate, please contact Brad Guigar and tell him you will be participating. Then create a comic. Now. It doesn’t have to be about hurricanes or disasters or the importance of charity… but those themes are appreciated.

Apple is now accepting donations on behalf of the Red Cross for victims of Hurricane Katrina through its iTunes Music Store.

Apple also notes that your personal information is not shared with Red Cross, so they will not be able to acknowledge your donation.
