The most Awesome Peter Dunlap-Shohl TCDS art


Peter Dunlap-Shohls lived in Alaska long enough to survive North America's largest recorded earthquake, its second-largest oil spill, sundry volcanic eruptions and more encounters with large panicky moose than he would like to remember. For over twenty-five years he was the editorial cartoonist for the Anchorage Daily News. His work has been recognized with numerous prizes including The First Amendment award from the Alaska Press Club. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2002, leads the Anchorage Parkinson's Disease Support Group. His blog about the disorder can be found at http://offandonakpdrag.blogspot.com/
He is married to graphic designer Pamela Dunlap-Shohl. They live on the outskirts of Anchorage, in the foothills of the Chugach Mountains.
Peter was the first person to donate art to Team Cul de Sac.

Getting to know Peter as been such a pleasure. He is a swell guy and I really am thankful for his kind words and his support. I just wished i had met him a couple of years ago when I was in vacationing in Alaska!

Shannon Gallant and his amazing Team Cul de Sac art


Shannon Gallant is a friend of ours. He is an amazing artist who is currently drawing GI Joe. Shannon is also one of the first guys to join Team Cul de Sac. Here is his contribution. Thank you so much!

Framed! David Hagen's TCdS contribution

Isn't this a thing of beauty?

See David's comments about it at http://hagenillustration.blogspot.com/2011/02/masterpiece.html

Contributing to Team Cul de Sac if you're not a cartoonist

For the non-cartoonists who want to support Team Cul de Sac, you can choose to contribute money directly online.

The Fox Foundation's website for Team Cul de Sac is somewhat confusing, but click on that link, and then select the big orange button that says DONATE NOW. You can select amounts to be charged to a credit card. If you want to join TCdS, there's another button for that, but there's a $50 fee, and I'm not sure what benefit there is to that.
