I've donated three drawings to a fundraiser to assist those in Japan affected by the earthquake and tsunami. You can bid on them at the Daily Paintworks Help Japan Challenge. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the images and place your bid. 100% of the proceeds of the sale will go to organizations in Japan to provide relief to evacuees. Shipping is on me. You can read more info on the description of each drawing and the organization the money will go to on the website. The artists have done a great job raising money so far, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. The auction for my drawings ends in just three days, on April 13th, so please take a look, and if you're interested, bid as soon as you can.
I adore Japan. I taught English on a tiny island in the Sea of Japan, years ago. I've been horrified and heartbroken about what happened there. The world feels very small and interconnected in some ways, but at the same time it's so hard that it's so far away, to not be able to go over there, to "do more." My part in this fundraiser is small, but do visit the site and pass the word along to as many as you can, so we can raise as much money as possible. Or if you have art work to donate, that would help too.
Arigatou gozaimashita.
