Blog Action Day 2009

Today is Blog Action Day 2009. October 15th is the annual day for bloggers all over the world to unite together to spread the word about this important issue - of CLIMATE CHANGE! Almost 10,000 bloggers from 150 countries have participated so far! Dealing with Climate Change is crucial to the survival of humankind.

Earth Day, Digital © Diane Clancy

This vibrant, colorful painting of Earth Day shows humankind taking the extraordinary leap that we need to take to make the changes we need. All the personal things so many of us are doing - driving more slowly, turning down the heat, eating locally - are all important and we need to each continue our efforts!

BUT war wrecks total havoc on the environment. Peace is much healthier for the earth - besides for "children and all other living things." The environmental impact of war is terrible!! The fighter jets, bombs, wreckage of buildings, transporting many troops and supplies ... all take a large toll on the earth. I KNOW it is terrible with the human cost - and I am so sorry for all of us who have been impacted with human loss by war (which includes most of us) ... AND the toll of war on the earth is terrible also.

This is yet another reason we need to strive to create peace - for all of us and also the home we call earth!!

Vote to Help a Friend Get to College

Angela Taylor, a fabulous artist and member of WWAO wrote to our group today:

All of us create our marks in different ways. My dream is to go to college to make that mark. I got accepted into the Savannah College of Art and Design!!! As many of you know though, I am epileptic and paying for college, even for regular students is hard enough so I am asking for your help. I have made a page on Brickfish where you can vote on my entries to help me get a scholarship. The person with the most entries gets one. Although, there is no guarantee, at least it's a shot. Please vote for my entries to help me get a scholarship. You can vote as many times as you like. To vote just click the picture that you would like to vote on, then look on the lower left side and there will be a button to click saying VOTE. Confirm your vote and bingo!

"Just Face It", Angela Taylor

She is an inspiring woman, talented artists, and very dear human being. If you have a minute and are in the mood for clicking and viewing unique pieces of art, click the link above. When you're finished, take a gander at her shop; the link is listed below!

Painting With Passion
Original Art by Angela Taylor

My interest in painting began after meeting a local artist and friend. She helped me learn about painting and inspired me to become an artist. Since then, painting has become my voice. It has become my way of coping with the hard situations that I face from having seizures.I started having seizures at 12yrs for unknown reasons.

I had about 7 seizures a day 100 a day at the most. After having brain surgery in June,2003, I only have them at night. I did wake up from brain surgery with my left side paralyzed but it was NOT permanent. Physical Therapy helped ALOT! I can not go without medications or they will start again. I started painting as Therapy after I healed from surgery. I hope that painting will help others to prosue their dreams of painting as I have been inspired to prosue mine.

My work is basically abstract in style because I choose to work with color and a more intuitive approach to painting. While looking at each painting you may wonder what I was thinking while painting. I assure you that every painting has a meaning. The ability to paint my emotions is what I find so therapeutic about art.

She is a very inspiring woman and artist. Now! Go visit her Etsy shop and fabulous artworks to help support her College Dream and acquire a fabulous piece of art!

New Action Needed on the Orphan Act Bill

Today I prepared and printed many ACEOs ... it was a lot of work and a lot of fun!! I played with this image and made several other variations of these unusual birds. Please all US residents take the action suggested below to try to stop this irresponsible version of this well-meaning but mis-guided bill. Clearly my local US Representative, John Olver, does not understand the importance of this bill. He supports it for the museums. He doesn't realize how much this will hurt all the artists in his district. So please, please write!

Spring Birds, Digital © Diane Clancy

Totally quoted from an email sent to me:

A quick update about this bill. It is poised for a final vote (date not yet announced) so please try to get your final "shots" in.

What illustrators and designers and photographers etc. are doing now is a postcard mailing blitz... (many of them are using their postcard mailers or printing off something quickly)

On the back they write: "Please vote NO on the Orphan Works bill-- H.R. 5889 for the House; S-2913 for the Senate" and sign it with their name and contact information.

No explanation necessary just "VOTE NO TO THE ORPHAN WORKS ACT."

**But here is the important part: **

**Any correspondence needs to be addressed to the DISTRICT OFFICE. **

Apparently, mail received at district offices, gets to the congressmen faster than it would if sent to their actual offices.

You can go to this link:

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Just click on the name and it will take you to his or her website where the mailing address of the district office can be found.

Bloggers Unite for Human Rights Day

Today is Bloggers Unite for Human Rights Day - May 15, 2008. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations. Click here to find out details and join.

Health care is a right not a privilege!! It is unconscionable that the United States does not have health care for everyone. Every other developed country has health care for all citizens. It used to be that South Africa and the US didn't, but now it is only the US that doesn't. Clearly people need to come together in government to make this happen! Too many people die every day and too many more families have all their savings and finances wiped out by paying for medical bills. People who are rich will still be able to buy extra health care, but we all need good health care. I would easily settle (ha, ha) for the kind of lifetime health coverage all our Congress people get. Health Care for ALL!!!
