Yo thanks for the monthly award

My most sincere thanks for voting that Sketchbook Tour thing for a monthly award!

I'm very humbled and its always an honor to get that extra recognition.

I've been debating a long time about what I'll do with that money, its not a terribly large amount but i never felt like it was 'mine' anyway, the tour is a success through the collective efforts of everyone who participated in it.. so originally i was going to buy everyone stickers and then i had some feedback that i should just stash that money for next years costs... and so i think i finally decided what i'm going to do...

I thought it was cool that ng changed its color scheme for that breast cancer awareness thing going on this month.. cancer is an especially sensitive subject right now for me cause one of my relatives was diagnosed last month and its like really sobering... anywho i decided that im gonna put half of the money into the next years tour and the other half im having donated to the american cancer society on behalf of newgrounds... its not a terribly large amount of money but i think its SOMETHING and it sort of is cool for ng to take credit for its humanitarian efforts sometime... we're not all fucked up demented artists... well most of us are but whatever dont ruin my moment LOL.

That's a great idea Luis. It's really great of you to think of everyone here and of other things before yourself. It's good to hear that the other half will stay here for the next Sketchbook Tour, while the other half will go towards finding a cure for cancer. Sure, it isn't much, but it's the thought that counts.

I'll make sure to participate in Sketchbook Tour 2008.

That's really good of you to donate the money to the cancer foundation. I've also had a relative recently diagnosed, so I totally respect that. Good luck with next years tour.

My brother just got through some intense cancer treatments. Life is fragile. Good on ya, for doing something worthwhile with the winnings.
