Japan has been shaken and stirred this week. I almost can't quite come to terms with what is happening there. It seems like something out of a hollywood movie with insane special effects - tsunamis 30m high, destruction far and wide, nuclear meltdown. Hugs of the biggest and warmest kind to them.
This is a piece I did to donate to Illustrators Australia's auction with 100% of money going to Japan. (the kanji characters in the right hand corner say 'for Japan'. I hope I got that right!) The auction is currently being set up, so stay tuned for more details as they come to hand.
Other ways to help out:
Art for Japan
comment at Karen Andrews' blog to up her donation
buy one of Alicia's prints
buy one of Kathy Hare's prints
It feels good to at least be doing something.

Beautiful illustration and sentiment
Very lovely illustration and I totally know what you mean...I was just numb... didn't know what to think...seeing all the destruction and feeling like...gosh, we really have no control when it comes to nature's force - no matter how prepared! Scary! But your illo makes me smile :)

Thanks everyone - it's hard feeling so helpless in all of this but at least we can do our own little bit.
Linda - I know what you mean. It really makes you bow to the forces of mother nature. No matter how prepared we are, she can always be stronger -- yikes!
Hope my illo made you all smile in the midst of all of this terrible news.
