The whole BP oil fiasco in the Gulf feels overwhelming, but a group of kid's book illustrators has decided to do something to help. It began with illustrator Kelly Light putting up small sketches for small donations that go directly to The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and The International Bird Rescue Research Center. The image shown is an sample of what is available.
Kelly decided to put the word out to see if other illustrators were will to contribute. The response was so overwhelming that Ripple Sketches was born. The way it works, is you make a direct donation to one of the above two charities to help animal victims of the oil spill and send Kelly the confirmation number and your address, and she'll send you a sketch. Way to go Kelly.
