Picture removed at the request of Madeline Flores — I first ran into Madeleine Flores at SPX (Small Press Expo) this year in DC, and ended up not just getting an impromptu interview, but ended up really enjoying her work. Unfortunately, she was visited by the Grinch this holiday season and has ended up in the hospital. As she states:
I fainted at work (reason unknown) and fell to the floor- hitting my head and neck in an awkward position which knocked me unconscious for a bit~ I was rushed to the ER in an ambulance on a back stretcher (most uncomfortable ride ever) BUT at least the paramedics gave me a pink neck brace! So- Um…Now I have a big Hospital bill to pay and since I live in a Country that doesn’t have healthcare for it’s citizens, i’m a little bit out of luck. I know times are hard but if you have a couple of extra dollars, would you please consider buying some art from me? I can still draw anything you’d like! Here’s a list of things for you!
Comics Forge is donating what we can, and we are asking for the rest of the Comic Book Community to rally around one of the more talented independent artists. She will do drawings for donations, but even if you do not want a drawing, she is worth donating to, and helping her pay her health care bill. Something like this is enough to keep her from creating comic books, and she really deserves the break.
We rarely ask for help from our Comics Forge Community, but Madeleine is totally worth it.
Seriously, she is awesomely talented, and just as a way to help give you an idea of how cool she really is, here is the interview we did with her at Small Press Expo in 2011.
