Purpose and Heroism found in Charity
Today in my mailbox I found a lovely envelope stuffed with information about an organization I had never heard of: Mouth and Foot Painting Artists. They sent me a sample of Christmas cards painted by their mouth and foot artists such as the painting I've shared above. I'm astonished in the most pleasant way, and not slightly offended that they are requesting a donation for the Christmas cards. I have at times been accused of being a "rebel without a cause" but I do remind my accusers that I am an empathic, starving artist who can not afford to promote all the causes or charities that my heart goes out to. My artwork is strange and avant garde most of the time, yet I don't even think I'm in the same league as Iwao Adachi, who's talent to paint such a beautiful masterpiece by mouth is truly worth more than my meager donation.
