I'm honored to say...

I've been asked to donate a piece to the HRC's Thirteenth Annual National Dinner.
The HRC National Dinner is the single largest annual fundraiser for the Human Rights Campaign. Not only does it raise essential funds through corporate sponsorship, ticket, raffle, silent auction and program book recognition page sales; but it also is an important and exciting event where over 3,000 like-minded and dedicated LGBT people and allies can connect, energize and focus on our work that lies ahead.
I will be donating a 24x30" original. I will be revisiting "One Heart", which I first painted as a gift (as an 8x10") for my partner, Ron. I think it couldn't be more fitting for the occasion.


This event will take place on October 10th, the eve of the upcoming National Equality March.cool
More to come...
If you're a reader of my blog or chat with me on facebook, you'll be seeing this all over again on Monday, so bear with me. razz

Thanks everyone.

I'm very excited. I've been wanting to find a way to both contribute and introduce my work to the LGBT community. It's a great opportunity to do both, I think. biggrin

One bright day in the middle if the night,
2 dead boys got up to fight.
Back 2 back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf Policeman head this noise,
he came and shot the 2 dead boys.

HRC is not the only organization I'd like to work with. I'd definitely like to also like to have some stuff happen with smaller organizations (as well as different types of charities, not just Gay community ones).
I'm honored to have been approached because they are one of the largest/most visible groups and this is a major event where I wouldn't think they'd have sub-par auction items.
I'm also thrilled about the opportunity, because I think this could be a great chance to get my work seen by a LOT of people in the community (and allies) and hopefully could lead to other things.

i'm very happy for you.

i personally can't stand the HRC or Jeff Solomanase, they have yet to deliver on anything the promise and to me seem more obsessed with their connections than doing anything.

Congratulations John. I've always loved your art, especially the ones you posted last year in the org artist section. You have a bit of Picasso in you.
