Orphan Works Bill...

Ahhh I know, no artwork--- so sorry!,
but the gov' is acting up again!
Please review The Oprphan works Bill... they are pushing real hard and quick to move it through.. If you are too busy to write a letter - below is a link to sign a petition if you are so inclined....

FROM THE ILLUSTRATORS' PARTNERSHIP
A Million People Against the Orphan WorksBill http://www.petitiononline.com/Stop2913/petition.html
The petition is now the 7th most active on

Remember: you don't have to be an artist, photographer or performer to be threatened by this bill. Anything you've ever posted on the internet would be exposed to commercial infringement unless you've registered it with a couple of large corporate databases. These databases would then control access to your intellectual property.That threatens the passive copyright protection all citizens now take for granted.

Hurray Hoooorah!

So if you make some of these...

you'll look like these! - he he he--naw-

---------But do I feel like these elephants!
yes sir.
I want to hug my own legs to my head with joy! goooosh!

These drawings are by favorite artist in the whole wide world ... Mr. Heinrich Kley. So much has been going on (hence the lack of posts)... I didn't even know what to write because this is very personal... and I usually only post up all my art openings and art Junks. All I can say is that the fairies have been in a wonderfully terrible state of unrest, drinking hard cider out of tiny acorn cups, running around naked and yelling at Rick at I at night... riding around the noisy parrots in the neighborhood telling all the wee ones that the witch and the the tree man will be gettin' hitched at last!

*sigh*
