 Fan Art
 
 Earlier this year, The Supernatural Artbook project was founded to allow fan artists to contribute works to be collected and sold to support charities. Now that the project has been fully funded and copies of the book have shipped, artists are sharing their work online. You can find works at the Supernatural Artbook Tumblr.  Example.

 Check out some of the brilliant work our fandom did for this project.
 
 David Hayden Jones and Mr. Ketch caught the imagination of several artists. David compiled a number of them at the ART Mate Sunday Archive.

To get us through Hellatus, we have Supernatural hiatus creations
 
 Their project description: 
Each week will focus on a different theme in the spn universe. these may be characters, places, episodes, quotes, or just overall ideas. the sunday before each new week starts, we will make a post officially announcing that week’s theme along with a few other details (and maybe a few ideas). post your theme-related creation any time before the end of the week (by Sunday at midnight pacific time), and make sure to tag it with #spnhiatuscreations in the first five tags!

Ruth's Surprise for My Hope Chest
 
 

Hello!

Ruth Connell has done a lot of lovely work helping to raise funds for the small charity My Hope Chest, which helps support those who have had breast cancer and cannot afford reconstructive surgery. 

To honor Ruth I am setting this up to raise as much funds as possible for My Hope Chest, and present it to her at SeaCon 2018.

I will also be putting a book together of fan photos and messages to commemorate the event. <3 After a donation is made I will message you to get your submission! ^-^

 
We're Thankful for Rob is running a 4th campaign.

We're Thankful For Rob is back! We are once again raising funds for the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation (HSF) in honour of Rob Benedict. As most of you are probably aware, Rob had a stroke at the Supernatural convention in Toronto in 2013. Every year since then, we have run this campaign in celebration of his remarkable recovery and his continued good health. In addition to raising money for the HSF, we are also helping to spread the word about recognizing and responding to stroke warning signs FAST. As we approach what could be the last ever TorCon, we are hoping to make this our most successful campaign yet!
