G45. SOLD Timothy Mitoma

I'm an illustrator in Corte Madera CA and have been wanting to help the poor critters effected by the giant oil monster but didn't know what I could do. When I heard about  Kelly's project I knew it was the perfect solution. I could use what I do best to make a contribution thanks to Ripple. My piece is of a Kemp's Ridley turtle, an endangered species in the Gulf.  This piece is 9" by 7" and it is acrylic on watercolor board.

951. Experience

Bonnie Jean Woolger Decatur,Ga.

Wooden pen maker, printmaker, book maker, I grew up on the beach in south Florida and live in fear and horror of the oil spill. When I was 11 a sea turtle laid her eggs in our garden on the wrong side of A1A and so when they hatched I filled my pockets and my shirt and made many trips across the road to get the baby turtles on their way to the ocean before they could be hit by cars. I can’t save them from this.

EYEWITNESS REPORTS ART from the HEART -makes a difference!

 Ripple has taught me a lot- not the least of which is What Art Can Do - and what ARTISTS CAN DO TOGETHER!!!

Many of the artists who have contributed to Ripple are also stepping up to stomp out with GIANT ROBOT POWER- children's literacy issues and supporting 826 LA - a Non-profit writing tutorial center.

 Check out Dan Santat's site about it HERE

If I have created any new fans of these artists- I'm thrilled!- but unlike here at Ripple- I will be bidding against you- so LOOK OUT!

Here's a list of the artists who keep sending meaningful ripples out into the world:

942. sold Gulf Gull-Reporter

943. soldGulf Gull-Enquirer


944. soldGulf Gull-Herald


They say they've killed the well.  They say 75% of the oil is either gone or dispersed.  They say the waters are reopened for fishing. They say, they say, they say.......what do the animals have to say?
This is all great news, but the work is far from over.  Clean up will continue for a good while.
My Gulf Gulls, Reporter, Herald and Enquirer are out there speaking their minds.  Just listen and you'll hear their findings.
I'm an illustrator who lives far from the Gulf and far from any ocean.  I consume petroleum products without much thought.  But I love animals and hope my small contribution to the marine life recovery adds to the awesome power of Kelly Light's Ripple Sketch project.  I'm tossing in three more pebbles.

937. soldGulf Pelican

937.sold


My name is Aimée van Drimmelen and I'm a freelance illustrator based in Montreal who works in pen & ink. I have a deep respect for the natural world and it's creatures.

About the piece: This image was directly inspired by the gulf oil spill. Painted in July 2010 on a recuperated 22" drumskin (see my website for more on this), it was part of Drawing Expo 2010 at Galerie Rye in Montreal. It depicts a brown pelican flying out of the water. I found myself getting very emotional while painting this because pelicans are my favourite bird, they are huge, gorgeous and majestic. Watching them flying and fishing is one of my favourite activities (we have white ones in Canada). Seeing images of these creatures floating up dead on the shores of the gulf, saturated with oil has broken my heart. But I wanted to stay as positive as possible with this illustration. This pelican has survived, but there is still fear or anger in its eyes. It is determined and will overcome this stupid preventable mistake. My only hope is that humanity can learn a lesson from this tragedy and do the same.
