Ripple thru Clean Water

"

"Drink" by Rob Risek - available!
"Art for Water is a non-profit campaign to aid water charities in bringing clean and safe drinking water to the almost 1 billion who struggle without it.
Art for Water is made up of artists who have donated their LIMITED EDITION artwork to be part of an online store where 100% of proceeds will go towards the campaign. This website is collection of talented artists from all over the world.
GOAL.
To raise $20,000.
WHY.
Almost a billion people on the planet do not have clean and safe drinking water. We’ve decided that this is unacceptable. $20 is all that is needed to save one life. Think about how easily you spend $20. It’s not a lot to us, but it can do so much somewhere else in the world."

British Artists Auction for Japan

There is No Cavalry


Blog and details HERE

"I’m putting on an exhibition / auction of UK and Irish creative work to raise funds for victims of the tsunami.
Artists include: writers, photographers, designers and illustrators from the advertising industry who are kindly donating work to be auctioned/sold.
I have already received the first piece for the exhibition – a beautiful poem by Irish poet, Patrick Chapman.
I’ve had lots of very positive feedback, offers of help, and advice on how to put on an exhibition!
If anyone out there wants to donate some artwork, please drop me a line. It can either be something bespoke, related to the disaster, or something from your archives. Or, if you know someone else you think might want to help, send them this post.
The medium isn’t important either. It could be: a painting, illustration, photograph, poem, prose, haiku, graphic design etc.
What it must be: is something that you think someone else might want to put on their wall.
The main goal for this is to raise money for the people of Japan." -David Milligan-Croft

The Japan Art Auction. Thursday 7th April. Studio Manchester. Buy a ticket please.

Tonight!- Otis Frampton draws live for Japan

Otis Frampton is a truly talented guy. He draws commissioned cartoon masterpieces live on UStream.
I have watched many times think "How does he do that?" - He's working his magic for good tonight.

He will draw tonight @ 6 PM CST - Here's some links and a blurb from his blog:

"This Sunday I will be having a 6 hour Tsunami relief artcast starting at 6:00PM CST and going until midnight. I will be donating the money I made from the "Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah" commission as well as the money I make from that night's 7-7-Sunday commissions to the Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami relief effort."

The Land of the Rising Sun needs our Help- Art for Japan

Illustrator Meg Hunt has started her own Ripple over at Show and Tell to help the devastated country of Japan after the earthquake and Tsunami.  Unfathomable loss and unfathomable need in the country that has given us thousands of years of the most beautiful art and culture. Western artists have drawn so much from the aesthetic of Japan - lets give some love back with our art and our hearts.
