Hannah's trip to Australia

Wow, you guys are the best!

As you can see we just beat the 20% mark, everyone has been so kind and its giving us both hope that we might actually reach our goal.

Don't forget everyone who chips in $50 or more will receive a signed print of any of my artwork.

It's your choice, so anything you find on my website www.martinabel.com or myspace www.myspace.com/martinabel
I will print, sign and send to you.

For everyone who chips in $100 or more you will receive a print AND a personalized sketch of your choice.

Once you chip in just send me an email and tell me what art you wanted printed and what character you want sketched.

If you don't have a preference I can easily pick both for you.

I'm going to start the prints today and so far only 1 person has requested what they actually want, so I will be emailing most of you today as well.

Once again a HUGE thank you to everyone who has chipped in, its blowing me away how kind and understanding people are.

I chipped in recently, and will be chipping in when I get payed next too, so lets hope we can reach 50% !!

I'm in love with Hannah.

It's true. But nothing is simple or easy in life and Hannah lives on the other side of the world.

She stayed with me in Australia for 3 months last year, and after she left to go home we talked EVERY day, for 8 months. Until I was able to go and visit her in America.

I stayed there for 2 months and got home Yesterday September 5th.

There is so much to write about what we went through I hardly know where to begin. But most people know we had to evacuate New Orleans because of Hurricane Gustav. It was an incredibly stressful scary time. But we got through it because we were together.

When I am with this girl, I can do anything. I'm truly in love with her and I need to get her over here for a little while so she can have a break from where she is.
There is another 3 Hurricanes currently, with Ike and Josephine being the most worry.

I don't want her to have to evacuate again.
If I can get her over here for 3 months away from all the chaos she would be the happiest girl in the world.
She truly loves it here, and all we are asking is a little contribution towards her plane ticket.

I am not demanding anything or expecting anything from anyone. But please know even a spare $10 or $5 will help.

We need to be together. I'll be chipping in myself whenever I can.

Thanks for reading and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks everyone :)
