The recent earthquake left the city of Jacmel, unofficial “cultural capital” of Haiti, also known as the “City of Artists,” severely damaged. Many historic buildings and other pieces of fine art were damaged or completely destroyed. We feel for Haiti. Please share our support. There are many websites where you can help in restoring this cultural center of the ailing country by making a donation, or maybe even volunteering some of your time to help. Now we just wanted to share some of the original artwork produced there.

The above taken from Art for Haitian Children and IndigoArts.com

Another great website to visit for examples of fine Haitian art is HaitianArt.com

Thanks for your support.

A fellow Midwesterner Bill Hall is rediscovering a latent talent later in life. Original story by the Des Moines Register. I guess it’s never too late to start doodling, and get in touch with your inner artist! Way to go, Bill!

“He joined the Army, went to college, then got a master’s degree, became a partner in one of America’s most successful accounting firms, wrote a book on ethics in business and, a couple of years ago, moved to Iowa to be near his son.”

5 million dollars for this thing right here. I wonder if that even deserves to be called a work of art. But who am I to judge. I guess economy and the banking sector are turning around after all!
