Stop Presses!
i\'ve decided to pull out the stops and harrass my ex colleagues and see if Gw is willing to help us out. Below you\'ll find the email i\'ve just fired off to them, mainly UK WD editor,Eavy Metal Supervisor, Uk Events Team, US WD editor and Dirty Steve from the US Studio as well. I\'m hoping to get a positive response from them monday or tuesday latest, and with a littlebit of luck, they\'ll be quite willing to be involved.
\"Hi Gareth, Paul, Drew Keith and Steve
i\'m involved with a group of painters from the Coolminiornot website, to paint up an Ogre Kingdoms army and sell it on ebay for (hopefully) lots of money, and then donate the proceeds to the Red Cross for the Asia Tsunami Aid. the reason i\'m writing you is if it would be possible to maybe get some (unpainted! Don\'t worry Keith, i\'m not after the Studio army)minis donated from GW, or even get this mentioned in Dwarf/on the GW website when it is underway(and we have something to show-this should be in the next 3 to 4 weeks), and that way get a littlebit more exposure.
The project concerns about 20 painters, including myself, from all over the world, USA, Europe, UK and Australia. We\'re in the process of dishing out the jobs, deciding on colour scheme etc. I\'m not exactly in charge, since I\'m in the middle of moving to London, but have taken it upon myself to sort of co-coordinate this project together with Trace Brady from The Hedge Wizards Studio/Online shop.
There are two things i\'m after, ofcourse, first and foremost, get minis donated so it doesn\'t cost us much except our time and effort, and if it would be possible to get an article of say a spread published in White Dwarf when the project is well underway and we have some photographs to show. i can take this under my wing without any problems, so that way the effort on your parts would be minimal, except maybe take a few pics from the UK entries with the Scanback in nottingham or somesuch.
There will be a website set up for this specific project which will keep people informed on how everything is going(using a live journal style system, this way all the participating painters can post their pictures), as well as several websites of the painters involved will have a part dedicated to it(Dragonsreach, my own site and Slavetopaint amongst others).
Pleas let me know what you think of this, since i\'ll be more than happy(or Peter Bell or Mike dodds, who are also involved) to be responsible for the overall gathering of the models, and carting them to HQ for some decent photopgraphs. i really hope you will want to help us out, it\'s for a good cause afterall!
