This year's HRI:UNArts holiday message is "Focused on Progress by Bridging Unmet Needs to Untapped Resources in our communities." Please reach out to your family, friends, neighbors and front line service programs, define their unmet needs and be a part of solution oriented strategic planning and development of efforts that can help. Many times, just disclosure of a need can help those who have the resources, move them into action.

During this next year, the Humanitarian Resource Institute United Nations Arts Initiative, will be working to establish grassroots organizers to specifically target the scope of unmet needs in a community or region.... This means 3100 U.S. counties, 50 states and territories, 192 United Nations member countries. The arts community will be the source for intensive facilitation, communications initiatives, media events, and performances. More to come.

Wishing you a blessed holiday season and happy new year,

( Our Kiss )

 

Current Mood: good

Does anyone have a (um, living) grandma who doesn’t?

Grandparents have the best stuff: most notably those gnarly pill cases with the days of the week written on them. More than once, I’ve secretly yearned for a pill case of my own. I’d have to paint it purple so people would say, “How alternative!” instead of “How pathetic!”

I’d also like blue hair.

You know what? Forget grandmas. This picture is pretty much about the ideal me.

I made this photo for the cover of the first Croatian translation of Ian Fleming's "James Bond - Live And Let Die". This is my third James Bond Book cover.
