I don’t know of anyone who isn’t aware of  the oil spill in the Gulf, but do you know how to do something about it?  Though I live off the Gulf Coast, I felt removed from the situation… reading about the oil’s progression and tsk tsk-ing those who drag their feet in it’s resolution. So what can we do?

It takes someone like Kelly Light and her daughter to begin a movement!

They have created a blog called Ripple where you can purchase an Artist Trading Card and the donations will go directly to the cause. Each sketchcard on the blog is $10.00. The $10.00 is a donation to help the animal victims of the Deep Water Horizon Gulf Oil Spill. Every penny is donated. The two Non-Profits that are benefitting are The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and The International Bird Rescue Research Center.

This crisis is so heart wrenching and it’s the innocent who are suffering! Please won’t you visit the Ripple blog and donate. If you are an artist perhaps you want to donate your work in the form of an art card. The information for doing so is on the Ripple blog.

I’ve created two cards. One will be on it’s way to a kind person in Hawaii on Monday the other, a sea turtle,  will go up on the Ripple blog and will be for sale along with the other artist created cards.

Ripple A small sketch- a small donation-each small act helps!
