Gulf Fund Raiser

Meighan over at My Love for You is a Stampede of Horses is holding an art auction fund raiser for The Gulf Restoration Network. There are currently 83 confirmed artists donating works of art, all of which will have 100% of their price donated to the fund, there are some great artists taking part and some great pieces are already emerging.

Prices range from $15 - $350+, the sale starts on June 28th at 12 pm PST (3 pm EST) in this Big Cartel Shop.

The Ibis painting I posted a couple of weeks ago is going into the fundraiser for $600.

If you want a version of this but can't afford the original then I will soon be offering digital prints of it via my Society6 store and all of my profits from the print will go to the Audubon Society Gulf Recovery. Will post when this print is available.

Although i'm keen to give to the effort in the only way I know how at the moment i've got several mixed feelings about it - and most people I speak to have as well.

Firstly, BP should pay the full financial cost. Secondly, as Naomi Klein says in this excellent interview Obama can't order Brown Pelicans not to die and money can't heal the earth. And thirdly we're all chronically addicted to oil and its derivatives, BP provide us with some of the oil we're all so bent on consuming and our governments bend over backwards on our behalf to deregulate the conditions under which they operate.

So there we are, I have mixed feelings and feel ashamed and embarrassed about my own casual reliance on oil.
