I am getting more hours from my job which is excellent! Rent just got paid for a month, we got food to last for almost a month, and now its time to work on that October 15 Art4TH Zine! I do not have any poets or writers so far so if anyone is interested in being featured, let me know.

Also, I added a lot of stuff to The Homeless Network including the rights--I bet most homeless Americans don't even know their rights because they are too busy trying to just live. Also have stuff like mental health, health care, blogs by homeless Americans, articles on Gay Rights, links for anyone being abused or for an abuser if they wish to seek help.

I also stressed the fact that you are not alone. Many people feel isolated--I know I did-- and that isolation takes a toll. I was fortunate to stumble onto this website called Homeless Resources, which I will be including in the Network, and Homeless Resources will let you create a profile, talk in a forum, and do research. There is so much help out there on the Internet and I want to put as much of it together as I can so anyone who is homeless can access it without feeling the frustrations of google searches.

Even if you ain't homeless, check it out. You never know what you may learn and you never know when you may just need that kind of help.

Look into my eyes....


...time to be hypnotized
Baptized in the stare
Disguised beyond recognition
I try to enchant you with my talents
Only to be surprised by your defiance

From:

Hart Deer, a musician friend of mine:



"I'm going to gig at Red Light on December 6th and presell tickets for $10 a piece. I'm working with a promoter, but I will donate ALL of my share of the proceeds towards select non-profit entities. Please consider purchasing a presell ticket from here as there will be NO tickets at the door:

I'll be raising money for:

Art4TheHomeless
Agape Community Center
Covenant House

And a little seed money for a non-profit collaboration I'm doing with some friends called The Church of Rock and Roll, which will do big secret things that everyone would like if they knew what.

If you've never been to Red Light before, it's a great place. Wonderful food, board games, and strange beautiful music. I'm encouraging my own little crowd to commune with each other and make some new friends, as my own crowd are the best people ever.

After the show we can all hang out, philosophize over some beers (or tea), and it will be a grand evening.

I have been so busy. I have my art down in Little 5 and am working with three different business owners in the same shop on web design and marketing, working at my job, taking my mom to her doc's appointments, trying to keep the webzine published on time, and keep up with Art4TheHomeless. It seems to be taking off.

I am booked on musicians for the zine until April! This is fantastic! I am booked with Zazzle artists until June!! I still need writers and have been using my own stuff and a few friends.

I want to make sure The Homeless Network is well known so if anyone needs help they can find it. That includes any of you.

I feel so blessed!

If you are homeless and you love art--and you live in Atlanta, you should check this neat place out. Its called Common Ground and they do pedicures on every Monday, they have art group on Tuesdays, movies on Thursdays, and Bible study every day! They also serve food, coffee, water--iced cold water that is--danishes and pastries.

Also, if you want to donate art supplies or food or whatever, you can check out their website @http://www.commongroundatl.com

I was there yesterday and I worked on an art piece. Here is what I did:





That one is still in progress! Wait until you see the complete finished version.

Also here is some more new art that I am working on. It is on a window pane.

My art profits totaling $16.33 for the year end of 2007-08 was cleared. I had it sent through Zazzle to the Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless.

It's not much, but at the same time, Art4TH is being successful! The check was sent on February 3rd so they should have it by now :) Yay!

Olen uuden kielen opiskeluun, ja halusin vain l�hett�� v�h�n jotain sen t��lt�. Olen ladannut musiikkia ja lauseita osaksi minun soitin ja toivoa oppia tarpeeksi lukemaan ja kirjoittamaan suomeksi ilman k��nt�j�n pian

These are my two newest pieces. The first one is called "Got My Drink and My 2 Step" It is a Mardi Gras themed painting. The second one really doesn't have a name yet and the image can speak for itself. Enjoy!
