Hey family. I am sending this letter out on Hawks behalf. He is a modest person and I asked him for his permission to do this however, he is none the less embarrassed. This matter needs to needs to be addressed. He has been given a wonderful opportunity to succeed and grow and I would hate for him to "Miss the boat" Literally! I feel that we all should rally around him and show him our support and love in sending him off to FaerieCon.

He informed me a week ago that he was given an awesome invitation from Pirate Magazine to be in their booth , display his art and help represent the Pirate life ! This is a huge honor and an awesome opportunity for him to show them his talents and possible get some really great freelance work and massive exposure on the East Coast! Who knows what can come. This certainly is not one that should be missed. No way!

Many of us are aware that he had was laid off recently and that times are tough financially for one and all. I am hoping that all of you will find it in your heart to give whatever you can to get Hawk to Baltimore . No matter how small or large a donation might be it will help . He needs airfare, taxi and some hotel expenses covered.

Those that give $25.00 or more will receive a free 11x14 signed print from me as a "thank you" gift. Your choice :)

Thank you so much for sharing your love and support for our dear Hawk!
