"The third year animation class of Algonquin College 2012 is earning money for their annual grad show by doing commissioned artwork for you!"
"We're the third year class of Algonquin College Animation and we're graduating in 2012. At the end of every year, the animation program puts on a grad show to showcase their recent graduates. This includes official showings of their third year films and portfolio viewings for the studios and general public.
The graduation show is a huge opportunity for students to gain exposure in the industry of animation. A number of studios come from across Canada to see the students' work and offer tests for employment.
Because of budget constraints, this year's graduates need to raise $5000 in order to have the same opportunity that students before them have had. To do this several of the students have opened this blog to help earn the money through their artwork."

On the note of selling art for money, however, I was wondering for any who may read this: If I were to consider selling some of my original pieces (and if so, maybe let me know what ones appeal?), would there be any interest at all? I may be open to a few commission slots come January as well. I just wanted to see if there were any here who might be interested in either originals or possible commissions.
