What’s better than robot/monster art, helping charity, and puzzles? How about if you get to keep the art?

One of Suicidebot’s favorite artists, Joe Alterio, is offering to draw YOU a robot or a monster for just $25! And all proceeds go to benefit AIDS research.

“I’m proud to announce the creation of my new project, RobotsAndMonsters.org .. in an effort to raise money for the SF AIDS Foundation, and the Pangea Foundation, dedicated to prevention as well as helping those with HIV/AIDS, in the SF Bay Area and the developing world, respectively. It’s a great cause that hits closer to home than many of you may know: in such a powerful and wealthy country, we shouldn’t be letting people die from any pandemic, let alone be shamed into covering up their affliction.

Robots And Monsters, a charitable effort that is one part fund raiser, one part low brow art gallery, and one part collective art experiment. The concept is simple, but unique, I think: for a small sum, I’ll draw either a robot or monster, as defined by three words or phrases you provide. The benefits are plain: the money is raised for a great cause, I get some good forced drawing time in, and you get a great piece of art in the mail, perfect for you, or as a present for a friend, or for your kids, or whomever.

What’s more, any illustrators or drawers on here that feel like spending a few hours drawing some rad robots or monsters, be sure to contact me, I’d love to have you on-board.”
