If interested, you can donate on their Kickstarter page for perk levels that include everything from online shout outs to screen props to your own music video directed by Armstrong. Visit Kickstarter for more information.
- Each year, the Kevin Workman Foundation sponsors an artist to attend San Diego Comic-Con, and you could be that artist. The lucky artist receives two 4-day badges, the opportunity to showcase their portfolio, sell product, and network from the KWF Booth at the convention. You have between now and February 1, 2016 to submit your application, so head on over to their Sponsorship page to apply now.
