Australia and especially Victoria is suffering from dreadful bushfires. Many homes but more importantly, many lives have been lost. This is a disaster, described by Victoria’s Premiere – John Brumby – as The Worst Day in our History
What has this to do with art though?
In an attempt to help raise funds for victims of the fire storms that have and are raging in Victoria, some members of RedBubble have decided to donate the profits from their work – and in some cases match the sale price of their work – in dontations to fire victims.
If you want to do something for yourself AND for the fire victims, surf on over to The Phoenix Appeal and buy a card, some wall-art – whatever.
Here are just a few of the items available – check them out.
Total raised by Phoenix Appeal so far is $745.53 and there’s plenty of artwork to choose from – at a price to suit all, from cards to full-scale wall hangings.

Having said that, a direct monetary donation to the RedCross Bushfire appeal will help even more : http://www.redcross.org.au/vic/services_emergencyservices_victorian-bushfires-appeal-2009.htm
