Hey guys!
I'm back home from my 2 month trip to the United States of America.
Most of you know I was visiting my girlfriend who lives in New Orleans, and most of you know we've been having a bad hurricane season.
We had to evacuate the city from Hurricane Gustav and I cant even begin to tell you how stressful it was. When we evacuated we both had not slept for 3 days (which is another story for another time) and then we drove for at least 14 hours to Dallas, Texas. From there I had to leave my girlfriend and go home to Australia.
It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Not only leave a loved one, but leave her to return to the path of more hurricanes, more possible evacuations and more chance their home would be destroyed.
I have started a chip in account to get her to stay with me in Australia for at least 3 months so she can be happy and not deal with the stress that is so abundant right now.
I'm not expecting anything from anyone, its just the only thing I can do to try and help her. If I had the money myself I would buy her a ticket without hesitation. And I will be chipping in as soon as my jobs are back up and running.
So what am I asking from you guys? Nothing, but if you feel like you would like to contribute I thought I would try and make it worth your while.
- Everyone who chips in $100 or more gets a free pencil sketch of their choice.
- Everyone who chips in $50 or more will recieve a signed print of their choice.
I will handle shipping costs, and the sizes of the prints and sketches will be A4
(210 297 mm)
For some reason I cant embed the Flash chipin widget here. so here is the URL for the chip in page:

Even if you can only spare $10, I would be extremely grateful.
This is not me trying to get money, its me doing the only thing I can do from the other side of the world to keep my Girlfriend safe.
Thanks for reading everyone, and I promise the next blog will be more positive and artwork related! I will have a new store in the works with lots of cool products.
Talk soon,
Martin
