Drawing on Earth
•
If you noticed we just renamed our nonprofit, we are filing for a new 501(c)3, building our board, rewriting our business proposal, begin to redesign our web site, and seek for new sponsors as we step into this new 5 year Global Storybook project. Pretty exciting! And seems like lots of work from here. Stay tuned.~MW

Drawing on Earth
Hi Everyone,
Moving slow these days. The focus is creating our own nonprofit - Drawing on Earth. We have been a full affiliate of Bridges With Youth and after consulting with a few mentors we have decided to be our own. So it's paper work and understanding the process. Along with this comes business plans, proposals, and beginning to look for grants funding.
Add being a dad of two teenage girls, teaching art at two colleges, other exciting free lance graphic design gigs, and my first art show since 1994.
I recently had the wonderful honor of hanging out with Daniel Dancer who also works with kids creating large art projects that are photographed from above in a crane or air balloon. His work is called Art for the Sky. We are beginning to vision some collaborate projects using my chalk drawings and his kids as art, it's pretty exciting, definitely thinking out of the box!

Bruno is a wonderful street painter from Italy. I meet him when he came to help set our world record. He took a copy home of the original sketch and gave it out to kids to draw and color on.Posted 111 times on this blog, 255 images,

As the Global Illustrated Storybook begins to take off, we need a bigger base than just me. I'd like 3-5 other people who are passionate about the project, and about kids and art, and who want to play big and are serious about being involved.
Know anyone? Have them get in touch with me.

I am still posting photos from my Dec. trip to Venezuela. My last post was showing the production team and the adult artists who were involved in the project - Creative Growth, the first chapter of our new Global Illustrated Storybook.
My next post will be more text and writing about the experience.
