My name is Jeanne and I am an artist living in Arizona.  I work full time in a Pharmacy to pay my bills, but you will find me creating art when I'm on my off time.  I design for Mark's Finest Papers acrylic stamp company, and that is a fun and creative privilege! 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.

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!)

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!:
