Helping Haiti with Art

Switchcities

I know in times like these a lot of us feel help­less. It’s tough to feel like you can actu­ally make a dif­fer­ence when the prob­lem is so enor­mous. But every lit­tle bit counts, and here’s another small way to contribute.

A slew of tal­ented pho­tog­ra­phers have banded together to offer up prints of their art­work at auc­tion, with all pro­ceeds going to the relief efforts in Haiti. The auc­tion, which is housed on the pho­tog­ra­phy blog, Switchcities, fea­tures some seri­ously amaz­ing work by Bonnie Tsang, Jonas Peterson, Sean Flanigan and many others.

So go on, help out those suf­fer­ing in Haiti and score some one-of-a-kind art in the process.

Todd Richardson

Talented pho­tog­ra­pher Todd Richardson groups his pho­tographs by the place where they were taken. I love how each col­lage of images comes together to give the viewer a more com­pre­hen­sive impres­sion of each loca­tion. To get the full pic­ture take a look at his port­fo­lio right here.

Amanda Wachob

Amanda Wachob’s tat­toos are eas­ily the coolest I’ve ever seen. Her work appears to be painted on top of the skin with a brush rather than with a nee­dle. If you’re inter­ested in her work, Amanda is cur­rently work­ing out of Dare Devil Tattoo in NYC.

Alphabet Complete

I intro­duced you to Jeannie and Jewell’s illus­trated let­ter­forms a lit­tle while ago; and now the alpha­bet is almost com­plete. I espe­cially love the “U”. Soon the alpha­bet will be made into prints, so I will be sure to keep you posted as soon as they are available.

Patrick Macomber

Patrick Macomber’s port­fo­lio fea­tures clean, smart design and illus­tra­tion for a vari­ety of clients. In par­tic­u­lar, I’m lov­ing this logo and iden­tity sys­tem he cre­ated for Turner Classic Movies.
