On Saturday, November 2, 2013, twelve of the finest cartoonists in the Washington, DC area devoted their time and talents to sketch for blood donors for the inaugural ‘Cartoonists Draw Blood’ event with the American Red Cross at Seekers Church in Washington, DC.

The reason is simple: Cartoonists Draw Blood is a great opportunity for cartoonists to serve their community while showcasing their art skills and encouraging blood donation – a single blood donation has the potential to save as many as three lives!

Since our first blood drive was so successful, the American Red Cross asked us to do it annually and we have saved the lives of hundreds of people. The ‘Cartoonists Draw Blood’ crew has expanded our activities beyond the yearly drive by exhibiting work in gallery art shows and anthology books. We hope you can join us and participate at future events.
