Japan Tsunami Relief

The good people at cfsl.net are organizing a japan tsunami relief effort http://cfsl.net/tsunami/ , by having artists submit artwork for either the originals to be sold, make a book publication or organize exhibitions, all profits will be donated to Give2Asia.  I found this through sparths blog, and wanted to add my own modest contribution. Being part Japanese myself, I really want to do anything I can to help. Please help donate to the RedCross or any other tsunami relief effort. Every bit helps.

Another quick one, trying out different techniques and brushes. was inspired after watching Maciej Kuciara's video. the guy is good! I'm trying to better understand color, value and temperature, and try not to get too tight with the details. After doing tight detailed work all day, it's nice to keep it looser at home.  Its a constant battle but I feel I learn something new each time. Need to do more studies!
