And the winner!

Yes, 63000; we’ve come a long way, baby.

Yowza – you guys really came through to bump up the donations and make us dress up for 2 hours. Scoundrels! But we love you.

I’ve given up on trying to be witty here – you guys are just way too amazing and you’ve blown us all away!

So it’s 4am and the submissions for the matt kitty space marine submissions are closed, so here are the submissions, but first, the winner:

Thanks everyone!

So we had some auctions. They blew our minds. We’re still recovering – in quick order we earned our 10th point, broke 60k, and found out what an Octopimp was…

A turn of phrase Kathleen came up with spawned some hilarious and disturbing art… Remember kids, cruelty to animals just doesn’t float our boat!

Well, we’ve had a very eventful night – we broke our all time record donation with an amazing $1375 donation by this dude named Octopimp, who is apparently Chuck Norris, the Easter Bunny and Damon Albarn (what? I think Blur is super keen!) all in one – he bid on a fantastic super rare, ultra limited edition Star Wars print by Ken Stacey (FYI the original was purchased by George Lucas!). We also sold an incredible original commission of Okami artwork (for the bargin  price of $500), and two signed comic books. Ken is made of win.

Anyhow, we got a bunch of amazing graphics, wrote haikus to honour Octopimp (who’s actually too cool for us), and received an incredible remix of Graham’s rendition of “Re: Your brains” as done as Billy Mays (RIP).
