Wake Up Before You Die In Your Sleep by Dubh
Hardluck Studios has donated several single edition prints to the
Haiti Art Fund Auction, sponsored by
Monkdogz Urban Art Inc.:
As time passes and new events occur around the world, the urgency once felt about Haiti may seem to diminish. However, for those people in Haiti, the need perhaps is even greater as the sheer extent of the devastation becomes evident.
To help Haiti in it's greatest moment of need, more than 100 artists from around the world have donated over 200 pieces of artwork for the Haiti Art Fund Auction. There are a wide selection of drawings, photographs, paintings, mixed media work, and prints all about 5x7 in (13x18cms) in size. The artists who are participating in this project are listed on the supporter's page, however the works themselves are not attributed. you can only find out whose work it is if you win the bid. There are artists whose works are in reputable museums and private collections. Some have been subjects of documentaries and others have had books devoted to their work.
This is a rare opportunity to obtain exceptional works of art at affordable prices (bids start at US$10) and contributing to a humanitarian effort at the same time.
100% of all proceeds from the winning bids will be donated by the winners directly to their choice of UNICEF, Partner's in Health, Habitat for Humanity of Oxfam.
This will be a silent auction held on line. The auction has already started and will end at 11:59p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on March 31st, 2010.

Welcome to the Hardluck Studios Soap Box
(hosted by Hardluck Studios Fine Art) where you can have your say about the crazy state of affairs our world is in today. Politics, Climate Change, Economics, International Tensions (to name a few) are on the minds of all of us. All we need do is turn on the evening news to feel exasperated at how our leaders are "handling" these issues. In fact, that's what inspired us to create this blog. Every night when we're listening to the bad news of the day, we find ourselves offering up solutions to "our leaders" and feeling a growing need to have our voices heard by them. Maybe ours aren't the perfect solutions for every situation, but aren't all options worth considering when issues with such grave consequences for your actions as we face today are at stake? If you find yourself feeling this way, too, feel free to suggest a topic or post a comment. Hardluck Studios believes in equality and freedom for all, so please - no comments that infringe upon the rights of others.
