Oil Spill Capped? Maybe, But We Still Need More Ripples.

Hopefully, the cap will work to stop the oil, but the animals will probably need help for a long time. I've created 3 more sketchcards for Kelly Light's Ripple blog. I feel privileged to have been able to contribute to this wonderful cause.

Each sketchcard on Ripple 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 three Non-Profits that are benefiting are The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, The Sea Turtle Conservancy and The International Bird Rescue Research Center.

Illustration Friday – Giant

What kind of purse does a hippo need to go shopping? A giant one, of course! Her friend Gary Gator offered to be her purse for the day!

More Ripples

I had so much fun creating my sketchcards for Kelly Lights Ripple blog, I did a couple more. I think the ripple has grown into a huge wave! I could imagine how busy Kelly is trying to keep up with these! I have to get my other cards that sold out in the mail today.

The top card is of a pair of Northern Gannets. They look so sweet – they are known to perform elaborate greeting rituals at the nest, stretching their bills and necks skywards and gently tapping bills together.
The bottom card is a Roseate Spoonbill. Aren't these beautiful birds??
