1UP’s Charity Sketch Auction Gallery

Over the course of September and October, I think the rest of the 1UP team started to hate me for making them carry sketchbooks — to the Penny Arcade Expo, Tokyo Game Show, developer offices, etc. The goal was to collect as many pen and pencil sketches as we could from people in the game industry.
We left the content up to them, and said we would auction off 100% of the profits for Red Cross disaster relief — in part to help victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, covered in our feature How Japan’s Earthquake Changed its Developers. The results originally appeared in the final issue of 1UP’s print magazine, and now it’s time to put the gallery online and kick off the auction.
