339. sold a challenge more important

339.
Hello and greetings from Poland,
I have just realized that this week's IF topic is not a mere creative challenge but something much more important.
Although I'm not a professional illustrator, I love creating pictures for children (both young and quite grown up).
I would like to join with my 4"x6" acrylic postcard, if you find it appropriate in spite of having no ocean creature in it.

You can find my other pictures here:

I have two blogs- one is primarily for the Card making, and the Studio is geared toward my original art works: My Studio  and Nannys Room

The artwork I have attached is a Pelican face that was watercolor and ink.  The painting was inspired from a photo that my daughter took on vacation in California.

I’ve been drawing all my life and have more recently had a great time transferring my drawings into digital media for coloring. So this will be a printed card – it can be matte or glossy or laminated - let me know if you have preferences. You can see my more recent illustrations on my blog here – http://nellosillos.blogspot.com/
I live in the Boston area now, but I grew up many years ago in the South. We went to the Florida panhandle beaches every summer, sometimes twice, for more than ten years. Back then, the only thing we feared in the water were jellyfish, seaweed patches, and the small schools of fish that swam through the shallow areas and tickled our legs. Looks like this oil spill will erase the opportunity for any new memories for many decades to come.

273 B.SOLD
I'm an Australian based illustrator with a global background. Much of my work comments on eco-topics and events, often with humour to provoke thought - but there is nothing remotely ironic about this subject. Horrified by the destruction in the Gulf - we are all affected. A great initiative - every bit helps.

I have felt so helpless watching this devastating tragedy... what can
one person do, really? It's so frustrating! And then I found this
project via IF and it was like Kelly Light found a candle to light in
the darkness! What a wonderful thing to do, and I thank her for giving
me something inspiring to do rather than being idle and sad (And
wallowing in artist block!)
