For the American Cancer Society

When I think of cancer, I think of walk-a-thons. I decided to make an ICan Page at ACS website.

It has been about four years, and I am still making 3d character art. I have made websites and blogs, and even made cards, shoes, posters, and shirts with my characters at Zazzle. At Zazzle, my fan club is starting to grow which has taken me by surprise. That makes me want to do something more with my characters. So I decided to make an I Can Page at ACS website. When you go to the page, look on the right hand side and you will see one of my characters. Click on my fund photo page to see more.

When I think of cancer, I think of walk-a-thons. I thought about my character, Stilt Walker and some shoes that I have designed. The “Goo” part of the name was taken from Google being a logo Google fan creating logos. I called them Goo-Roars. Then I made all of the ideas combined and came up with my own name for a walk-a-thon titled “Goo-Roar Walk-A-Thon”. I wanted to create a strong image for people that are fighting cancer. So, I used a tiger to blend with Stilt Walker and the Goo-Roar shoe.  

I have another character name Little Benny that I should have thought of first for a walk-a-thon. He was created into an animation titled “Benny’s Walk”. Benny walks along with Jesus. His walk-a-thon is a prayer walk-a-thon to encourage people to walk and talk with Jesus fighting cancer. At Zazzle, I decide to create Little Benny Keds Shoes. The picture of the shoe is on my I Can Page.

At Zazzle, I am hoping that people will buy some of my work that is on the  I Can Page. It is all for the ACS. A portion of the money will go to the American Cancer Society.
