Ian Gunn Memorial Fund

The Ian Gunn Memorial Fund was established early 1999.

Ian left somewhere between 3,000 - 5,000 cartoons as his legacy. He had a bad habit of sending off the originals earlier in his career so many are lost (by the way, if you do have any Ian Gunn original cartoons, a copy would be very well received).

Ian's talent was recognised by the fannish community in 1999 when he won the Fan Artist Hugo - the first fan artist in Australia to do so and only the third Australian to win one. Of course, anyone who has seen one of Ian's cartoons knows how talented and funny he was.

It has three purposes:

• To reproduce and sell Ian's artwork to as wide an audience as physically possible.
• To support the Fijian Banded Iguana at Melbourne Zoo
• To raise money for the Anti-Cancer Council of Victoria. So far two donations of $500 each has been made to the Anti-Cancer Council as of January 2000.

There are basically two ways the fund raises money - by donations and from sales of Ian's artwork that I have and will produce.

Items available from the fund include:

Be Prepared - A newly discovered Ian Gunn cartoon book. This items will help you prepare for those diasters in life - flood, shipwreck, alien invasion, etc - and have a laugh at the same time! $10 if I hand it to you, $12 is posted within Victoria, $14 for the rest of Australia. Overseas postage on request.
