About Art4TheHomeless
Imagine... a movement inspired by the arts to open the eyes of Americans to the plight of their own people. Imagine, through art, music and poetry, we are shining a much needed light on our own crisis: HOMELESSNESS Art4TheHomeless was once a blog called Colors of Ink with Blogcharm, which closed down. Nutang, became the new home of Colors of Ink and was renamed Art4TheHomeless, by a really good friend, Samantha Medd. She is now the Co-Founder of Art4TH. Now Art4TH is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization that unites artists of all venues to promote homeless awareness in the US. Art4TH does this through the Art4TH Webzine, a monthly online magazine that features a musician whose music plays throughout the website, a feature artist, and a feature writer while also featuring a homeless relief organization. All artists featured retain their copyrights and all of it is free.

I may never be normal in your eyes Friday. 11.14.08 1:34 am You seek to become the undoing Of my creative style with Verbally discreet discrimination It does not go unnoticed I just ignore your little jokes and pretend That it doesn't bother me Being the parvenu individual you are No you don't understand what it is like To roam in my shoes You have no idea what I have accomplished And what I have failed yet keep on trying to do You saunter off in your own little Materialistic world thinking that everone Should be up to your standards I hate to be the one to spill the bad news But I am not and never will be who You try to recreate me into being. I am me Comment! (0) | Recommend! New edition of Art4TH Zine out! Friday. 11.14.08 2:55 pm It's that time of the month! In America, our next holiday is Thanksgiving so I posted a little something about The Homeless Network on the front page. In fact, I have added some new information that I will let you read about. The feature artists are Johanne Jakobsen and Mama Jo! I have a couple of featured adds from Zazzle.com of which I am a member. They are Alice (Indy Alice) and Kathleen. I also joined a new Myspace Group and wanted to invite you to join it. It is "President Barack Obama" and I have the image-link posted on the front page of the zine. http://art4thehomelesszine.tripod.com I also have a poet, a very good friend of mine. Her name is Samantha Medd I am sure you will enjoy her work. I don't have a link back for her, but if you want to see more of her stuff, check out my myspace page: Myspace.com/art4thehomeless and she is The Senshi on my top friends. I do apologize for having no musical artist for this edition--no one has sent me anything. I did upload a song that I am using for intellectual purposes, but since my computer is angry at me and is determined to act like the AntiChrist, I am not sure if the song is playing or not. Anyway, the song is a rock song in Finnish, so if it is I hope you all enjoy it! Be sure to click "Digg this site" because the more who digg it then the more it will become well known and people will see your work and hear the music. I need artists, writers, and musicians for the December-January-February editions. Anyone interested? I can do re-features! Let me know and thanks for being a part of Art4TheHomeless Comment!

Without you, I could not have done this! The zine is used to promote a homeless help organization or shelter, 1-4 visual artists, 1 musician, and 1 literary artists. There are also spots for free advertising--yes FREE ADVERTISING! I am doing this for networking purposes: the more people who participate, then the more who will see not only the homeless help sites but also YOUR stuff. I haven't been posting a line up for the zine, but I am starting now. Here is the December 1st line up: Visual artists: Paola De Giovanni (SprayGraphic.com), Eppie (myspace), Project Squiddy(Spraygraphic.com) Musician/band: Sweet Corn Grits Poet/writer: (none so far message me if you want to participate!) Ads: (From Zazzle.com) Patricia aka Ratso If I still don't have a feature writer for this edition, I will either use my own or delete the page for this issue! Message me if you are interested in participating! Comment! (0) | Recommend! Just creating up a storm Thursday. 11.20.08 12:36 pm I was notified by email that some of my art sold on Zazzle.com--I made like a $3.00 royalty, not much but it will add up one day. I am very hopeful :) Since Zazzle poked me for my attention, I have been creating some new stuff to sell. If you don't know, then I will tell you: All of my online sales will benefit homeless shelters in America. That is my goal. I have two major lines going: Special Lady in which the sales of anything of this line will go to help women's and children's shelters The Gentlemen's Club in which the sales will go to help the men's shelters. I am still working on one for Veterans--I haven't fogotten yall! I am currently drawing up a few designs and trying to debate with myself on a catchy title for that line. Anyways, here are a few items from the two lines! Comment! (1) | Recommend! Thinking on a positive note Saturday. 11.22.08 2:08 pm Things are going great for my mother. I haven't been getting as many hours from my job as I would like, so I am in the process of finding a second job. I want my own place so I can do my own creative thing. I am working on a project to be entered into the LSU art competition in March. If I get in, I will be going to Baton Rouge for the opening reception. Also, I will post my piece up for sale with all of the proceeds going to a homeless shelter in Baton Rouge. So I am debating with myself on what to do. It has to be on an animal and I love cats. I could also re do my Zulu Frog piece onto a bigger scale as well. I think that would be more of a challenge and am leaning toward that. I love challenges! There is this guy I like at work, but I don't think he is interested. He knows I like him and all, but hasn't really said anything to me so I will just forget about that. The last thing I need is another relationship anyway. Plus he seems to be one of status and money and I don't need to be distracted from that. I am not at his level financially and that does intimidate me. I am not like those girls who will do anything to get a guy like that. I am just determined to dedicate my life to Art4TheHomeless and I think that he would probably look down on that. I really don't know him well and I could be just trippin over nothing but the best way for me to pull back is to dive into an art project. I have never been to my home state capitol and I hope my work gets accepted! Comment! (1) | Recommend! Feeling Poetically Inclined Wednesday. 11.26.08 2:35 pm I feel poetically inclined to spill My heart onto canvas In a multicolor dimension You will never truly Know me only because You choose to reject me You turn down my friendship Only because I am financially Useless to your lifestyle I turn to pen and ink To display my feelings Something I cannot tell you You blind yourself to something real Your false illusion will break Into shards of glass around your soul You will not be able to see the Multiplicity of unique individuals Because you will always think I want you for your money You let your fear of betrayal Rue this day In the end it is you Who betrayed yourself Because you chose close your heart Comment!
