In December I was part of a small Charity Art Show at the local Ayden Gallery. The theme of the show was Children’s book art, hence the reason why I was forwarded the request for artwork contribution by my friend Yuriko from Blim.  The show was put together by a local children’s ware company called ‘Please Mum’. All profits from the artwork sold at the silent auction went to the Abetavu Children’s fund in Uganda started by a young Vancouver woman. I am usually pretty critical of charities going so far out of their own surroundings and would have liked it to be something for local kids, but the story of the girl is inspiring in it’s own. It might have started out as a pretty naive undertaking but could become so much more. The world needs more people who just follow their heart and start something… something good will always come out of good intentions, even if it’s not exactly that which you had in mind.

I contributed an original piece of art from my book ‘The Day it all blew away’ to the show, which sold. … the end.
