UPDATE: WHOLE PLANET PARTY
If you’ve been following along then you know that the painting 3 Liters of Forks & Lysol was donated to Whole Foods to help raise money in a silent auction at the Whole Planet Party back on March 7th.
Thanks to everyone for helping put on this event! Coordinating a large, out of store event can be a daunting task and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to get it done! I can’t list you all but you all know who you are! Thank you to our vendors for donating all the food including Genji Sushi, Yosi Catering, Café Spice and Pearl River! I also want to shout out our other vendors for sending in silent auction items – if it wasn’t for those items we wouldn’t have raised so much money!
Thanks again and I appreciate you all forever…

Dear Michael,
Your generous and kind donation of your beautiful artwork is appreciated! We have never received such a donation before. We shal…l use it to raise funds at a future fundraiser. The kids in the photo are in Uganda, we have 5 partners there. Most of the people we help are AIDS orphans, widows & those displaced by the LRA!
Thanks very much!

Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Their longtime friend Bernie Marcus donated $25 million to help financially launch the organization. Since then, Autism Speaks has grown into the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. We are proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish and look forward to continued successes in the years ahead.

“Seeds for Peace” is a non-profit organization providing vegetable and flower seeds, as well as garden tools, for war- and weather-ravaged people in many nations. This “hand-up” enables war-weary and storm-stricken people to feed themselves, to regain human dignity, and even to work peacefully beside those they once called “enemies”.

ART HISTORY
12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond
This is the 365th day of the year. This is the 365th piece of art I have posted. This is the 365th time I will write…
There have been ups and downs during this project just as in life. I’ve made things I love and others that might go into the fire pit. I’ve succeeded in my goal to create and post a piece of art everyday for one year. I have failed to raise all the money for a future art student. I still hope to donate most of the work throughout the course of next year. I will meet these goals in 2013.
I’m not sure what this project means in the grand scheme of things. There will not be a movie made about this like that lady from Julie & Julia. Nothing will be hanging in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This project will not be in any art history books. It will be a quiet accomplishment that most of the world will not ever find out about. And that… is okay. I didn’t do this for fame or recognition. I did this because I had to. All of these ideas were in my head and they needed to come out, just like when I was a little kid drawing at the dining room table. So I guess it just means what it always has… I am an artist. I am thankful for it.
Thank you… to everyone that has been a part of this small journey. To the fans that have liked, pinned and followed. To the new collectors that have purchased. To the Enfield Mall, Imagine Main Street in Manchester, Katrin of Dali Mamma Cafe and Annie of A Salon for letting me share your space. To everyone that donated supplies, passed along ideas and gave compliments. For the love and support. To my family and friends. To Nicole and Ozlyn. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
and now I bow out, but not for long…

NEW BEGINNING
12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond
This is not over. It is the end of a period of time. A time where young artists must die to become immortalized. A time where the fight between good and evil still lingers. Where motive-less killers prey on innocent minds to become a part of history. I’d much rather die having made 365 pieces of art with no recognition. I’d rather put Jimi Hendrix’s eyes over Charles Manson’s face and make him look a whole lot more friendly. Because I… still believe in good. Let love rule and there will be no more violence. Every end is a new beginning. Reasons unseen will come to light in future days. We are all creatures of love. WE ARE ALL CREATURES OF LOVE, but if we cannot find love in our own worlds… we go mad. I think I went a little mad this year. But not due to lack of love. Mad in a good way. People need to find their outlets in the world. I found my outlet at a very young age. It is amazing what can happen if you give a kid a box of crayons, a piece of paper and positive words. Stay positive, be good and try to see the goodness in others. We all have something inside to share. Find your outlet and let the electricity flow.

THIS IS THE END
24″ x 36″ Mixed Media on Metal
End of the day, end of the month, end of the year, end of this project. End… of this project. This is all starting to seem very unreal. Like I’m in this long running dream that won’t… end. But everything comes to an end and in the end, the end is the opportunity to start something new. Something new… that will eventually… end.

REVOLUTIONARY
12″ x 24″ Mixed Media on Omega Bond
My name is Ozlyn Rayne. You can call me Oz, Ozzie, Ozer, Z, Little Monkey, Peanut, Sweets, Beautiful or just Ozlyn is fine too. I am a cultural revolutionary, even though I have no idea what that means. I will travel to far away lands and help people in need, once I am able to walk. I will show the world my talents,when I figure out what they are. I will be spontaneous, even though my parents might be hesitant. I will be open minded. I will be understanding, honest and loyal. I will not pass judgement on others and treat people with respect. I will be great. I know this, because my parents told me so.

OZ
8.5″ x 11″ Marker & Paint Pens on Paper
The land of Oz(lyn) is filled with colors and scribbles and life. Sometimes we catch her staring at one of my paintings. That is the greatest compliment I have ever received. To capture the mind of someone that is only days old with artwork inspired in part by them… full circle. When you get older I hope you stop and stare at everything. Take it all in and take none of it for granted. Add your touch to what moves you. Be inspired! I don’t want you to ever have to grow up, but when you do… I can’t wait to see your world. What will the land of Oz look like?
