As we announced last month, the Johnny Depp Zone is sponsoring a charitable project to support the Children’s Hospice as a way of honoring Johnny Depp on his upcoming birthday. In connection with the 2006 Birthday Project, we invited Zone members–and in at least two cases, their extremely talented daughters–to submit designs suitable for use on fundraising merchandise. The response from members was tremendous! We thank each talented Zone artist who submitted a design. You can see the designs HERE.

The Zone staff had an extremely difficult time selecting “winners” because we loved all the designs. As ACK explained in her announcement on the Birthday Project forum: “We finally settled on six main designs that we thought would look best on the merchandise while capturing the spirit of Johnny Depp, Children’s Hospice and the Zone.” We extend our congratulations and applause to bibi; ACK’s daughter Laura; dharma_bum; ibbi3, her daughter romy & carasun, who combined their talents on an entry; artistatheart; and catharsis. You can see their work HERE. On behalf of the Johnny Depp Zone and the Children’s Hospice, we give heartfelt thanks to all our artists for their support of the 2006 Birthday Project. We look forward to presenting their work on fundraising Tshirts, mugs, tote bags, and buttons–a great way to support the Hospice, honor Johnny, and make the world a better place.
