Back To School Ripples!! -order by description and number - each $10

This collection of pictures is from the students at Montessori Country Day School in Plainsboro, NJ. The children range in age from 6 to 10 years. In their every-day efforts, the kids are always working toward being good citizens. For instance, this summer they made organic dog biscuits for an animal shelter, they washed their teachers’ cars to raise money for the Special Olympics, and they have learned to bring in “trashless” lunches, using no throw-away materials. When they learned about participating in the Ripple Sketches project to help the animals in the Gulf, they were thrilled. Their teacher, Heidi A Monteleone, also contributed two sketches to the project which were sold several weeks ago.

I hope you can use these pictures. My students and I appreciate what you’re doing with this helpful project. It’s really a terrific way to get people involved and thinking. Thanks again.

Best regards,

Heidi A Monteleone

A little bit about me: I'm 23, recent university grad who decided to do the 4 years all over again at art school, starting in September. Currently filling my time drawing, painting, taking photographs & jumping in puddles.
I lived by the ocean in Halifax, NS for a long time & can't even imagine something like the oil spill happening there. It's so frustrating that we have to rely on the likes of BP to solve this disaster.

Tim Coffey

The first book I illustrated, Red Berry Wool, won a Golden Kite Honor from the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (how lucky is that?). Other recognition for my books includes the American Booksellers Association Pick of the Lists, a Parents’ Choice Silver Medal, and the Society of Illustrators Original Art Show.

My artwork has been published on scrapbooking supplies, wall calendars, fabric, and countless other items.

I want every collection I create to be made from recycled and environmentally friendly materials, but the first success I’ve had in that effort is with a collection of sculptural figures made of recycled cast iron. The collection is called “Simple Gestures”, manufactured by Demdaco. I found the whole “Simple Gestures” collection at an online store called Black Swan Home, Hearth & Gift. I wish the frames could have been made of the same recycled cast iron (they would have weighed a ton), but I believe they are resin.

Here is the link—Please check it out and pass it on to anyone you think might be interested—so I can create more recycled collections!:

My name is Shalini Raman, and I currently reside in Auburn Hills, Michigan. These are my card contributions to the subject 'Ripple', concerning the Oil Spill.

This is a work in watercolor plus pen. I chose to show some fish here; I just can't imagine how many fish would be suffocated to death since the thick oil on water wouldn't really allow oxygen exchange to occur at the surface of the water. Though I chose to show the pictures more as a one panel cartoons, there is definitely nothing funny about this whole incident.

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.
