On October 20, 2018, the Washington, DC chapter of National Cartoonists Society had our sixth annual “Cartoonists Draw Blood” blood drive event with the American Red Cross. 


Thanks to all the cartoonists who donated their time and talents: Eric Gordon and Carolyn Belefski drew during the first shift, then Steve Artley and Joe Sutliff arrived to draw for donors during the second half of the drive. We were also able to showcase our second anthology, Monsters.
Thanks to AIGA DC for reaching out to Cartoonists Draw Blood and asking us to join DC Design Week for the second year in a row.
Thanks to Joe Carabeo for photographing the event and to the folks at Palisades Community Church for providing the venue.
 
Thanks to our sponsors: Cartoonists Draw Blood, American Red Cross, National Cartoonists Society
I had been great to be a part of this and saving so many lives with cartooning — a single donation has the potential to save as many as three lives!
