Calling all Soul & Blues-Loving Fatbook Artists

Musician Curtis Salgado, world famous harp player and inspiration for John Belushi's Blues Brother's character has been diagnosed with Liver cancer. He is undergoing treatment while waiting for a Liver transplant.

His treatement alone will cost $100,000, and The Rainy Day Blues Association in Eugene  OR is having a benefit concert/silent auction on Sunday, May 28th at the McDonald Theater.

Artist Teri Velazquez plans to offer a fabulously embellished fatbook for the silent auction, and plans to send Curtis a personal chunky book to show how much he is loved. She needs your art to pull this off.

The official call for art asks for:
2 pages, both must be in Teri's hands no later than May 19th:

One page, 4x4, with some room for binding on the left, on the theme of Blues and/or Soul music for the auction.

The cover will be blue, but your page does not have a color requirement--just the theme. With lots of Blues lovers in Eugene there is no telling who will bid on and win the book so this is a chance to get your wonderful art out into a wider audience.

Then you create a second page, 4x4, with some room for binding on the left, on one of the more personal themes of "We love you Curtis; you are an inspiration to us; get well soon", well, you get the drift.

This book will be sent to Curtis himself. In both books please decorate both the back and front of your page, and have your name and email on the back.

So, two different pages, two different books, one fabulous guy.........

If you'd like to sign up for these books, please send an email to teri@uoregon.edu  The deadline for art to be in Teri's hands is May 19th--giving her just about a week to get them bound and ready.
Here's where you send them:
