I’ve listed this lithograph on eBay tonight as a three-day auction — all funds raised will be donated to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009. On Saturday we recorded our hottest day ever here, and bushfires ripped through the state (with some arson suspected, which I just cannot comprehend). To date, around 135 people have lost their lives, more are being treated for burns and over 750 homes have been lost. Entire towns have been burned to the ground. Please, go and bid lots and lots and lots and lots of money.
Edited to add: I’ll also be donating half the price of all items sold from my Etsy store until further notice. I don’t have a lot of cash to donate myself, so feel this is a good way for me to do something to help. I’ll likely put some other work up for auction as well.
Edited again to add: Just registered with the Red Cross online fundraising thingy to help my fundraising efforts. Check out my online fundraising page here.
