If you donate $10 to either The International Bird Rescue Research Center or The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, and then send a copy of the confirmation to Kelly at ripplesketches@verizon.net letting her know which doodle you're interested in, the artist will sign it and send it to you.
In the brief, Kelly says, "It's not about the politics or the corporation. It's about the animals. It's about not feeling helpless in the face of an overwhelming disaster. We're illustrators. We don't lose touch with that kid inside who marvels at the creatures who swim below and fly above the sea. We draw them. We are inspired by them. We need to help them... The subject should pertain somehow to the Gulf - the oil spill - the oceans and the creatures that live in it and around it."
There are some wonderful images at the blog.
I submitted these doodles:
P.S. The turtle "sold" early!
