On April 10-11 at the Boston Comic Con (http://www.bostoncomiccon.com/) The Inkwell Awards will introduce their second Donation Book, collecting every single donation on file to date from the artist community for the charity. Comic book sized and at 104 pages, including a text section by writer and committee member Daniel Best, a run down of the 2009 awards recipients, endnotes, and Ms. Inkwell, the charity spokesmodel herself, narrating through the book's contents, the squarebound issue will sell for $14.95. The Variant edition will be available first with a blank cover for sketches. A regular edition with Ms. Inkwell on the cover will debut at the Pittsburgh Comicon on April 23-25 (http://www.pittsburghcomicon.com/). Produced by committee member Jimmy Tournas, Bob Almond said "this has been a monster of a project, months in the works, and in the end a nice addition to the bookshelf" (the 2009 sketchbook was produced by committee member Bob Shaw). Next year the organization plans a Ms. Inkwell-themed booklet with all of designer Randy Green's prelim and sketch art as well as a step-by-step from Nathan Massengill of his inks and proofs of his colors for the character.
Bob Almond will include his conceptual info/origin for her, as well as photos of the live model Chrissy Cutler. The bonus section of the book will include pin-up interpretations of the character from among the comic book artist community.
