I really wanted to do something to help, especially after seeing countless pictures of these poor animals dying because of the oil and the people who are loosing their livelihood. I live in Texas, and even though the oil hasn't reached our shores just yet, we are still connected to those it has. I had each of my three children draw a picture of the oil problem through their eyes. I drew one from a picture that tugs at my heartstrings every time I see it.
These are digital pictures drawn using an art program called ArtRage on a wacom tablet. You will be getting a print on postcard quality paper.
Kelly Light, thanks for starting such a marvelous website.

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.

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:

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.
