-Artist/Creator – Graig Weich: “It’s like magic, to turn a blank piece of paper into something heroic that bring smiles to the faces of children and adults alike, just makes it all worthwhile. By donating my art to charities to help raise money for ill children and animals in need, is as if the superheroes I created are actually able to help people in the real world. When all is said and done, that is what it’s truly about.”

This was inspiring to read.
It must be a massive struggle to be an independent artist and try to bring your art to light like this guy is doing.
He seems to have a true love for what he does. His energy is contagious.
