Snazzy Starfish


What can just one person do? The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is heartbreaking. I live diagonally across the country in Puget Sound. What can I possibly do that would help even just a tiny bit?
I am one of many, many artists from around the world who participate in a weekly, online illustration challenge. The theme this week is ripple—an illustration, on a 2.5 x 3.5 card, posted on a blog (http://ripplesketches.blogspot.com/) available as a donation of $10 to either The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies or The International Bird Rescue Research Center.
My illustration represents the vibrant, colorful starfish that live in our oceans. "Snazzy Starfish". It's a small painting that I hope, in a small way, will help cause a ripple.
