#About

ARTISTS for LA is uniting top comic creators to support victims of the devastating Los Angeles fires. Spearheaded by AWA Studios, this initiative features original artwork donations from renowned artists like Bill Sienkiewicz, Denys Cowan, Alison Sampson, Mike Deodato Jr., and many more. All proceeds from the sales of these unique pieces will directly aid relief efforts through donations to the California Fire Foundation Wildfire & Disaster Relief Fund and the California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund, helping rebuild lives and communities impacted by the disaster.

#The Cause

Los Angeles is facing one of its most devastating fire seasons in recent history. Over 200,000 residents have been displaced, more than 10,000 homes have been lost, and entire communities are grappling with the destruction. Beyond the physical damage, the emotional toll on families, individuals, and businesses—especially in the creative industries—is immense. Immediate support is critical to provide relief for those affected and help rebuild what’s been lost.

We are committed to ensuring that every dollar raised goes directly to those who need it most. While the fundraiser is already underway, we are actively vetting and identifying the best charitable organizations that can make the greatest impact in supporting victims of the LA fires. Updates on the selected charity partner(s) will be shared soon to maintain transparency and accountability.
