My good friend Douglas E. Sherwood (Oni Press) proposed a tribute show based around his favorite X-Men character, Kitty Pryde.  His own personal experiences with having hemophilia his entire life also inspired him to make the show a fundraiser for the Hemophilia Treatment Center at OHSU.  So we’ve asked dozens of comic artists, graphic designers, and illustrators to do their rendition of Kitty Pryde for this May’s First Thursday show.  We’ll have original artwork and prints for sale and 100% of the proceeds go the the HTC.

The Hemophilia Treatment Center provides services for people with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders throughout Oregon and southwest Washington. The team includes physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, physical therapists, social workers, insurance counselors, as well as other specialists. The Hemophilia Treatment Center also provides outreach clinics to rural areas as well as home and school visits for patients. The center provides a comprehensive care model for people with bleeding disorders to ensure they receive the most current and effective information and services available to the bleeding disorders community.

BIO INFORMATION:

Kitty Pryde is a lot of people’s favorite X-Man. The fact that she was an adorable thirteen year-old girl when she joined the X-Men might have something to do with it.  She can “phase” through objects, which means she can walk through walls or have dangerous weapons pass right through her without killing her.  Only Joss Whedon can kill her, but don’t bring that up with Mr. Sherwood.  Here’s a 99% complete list of all the artists that have contributed their time and talent to this show:
