A dear friend of mine mentioned 1000 Drawings Amsterdam.
The goal of the foundation is to transform society through creative expression in its broadest sense. Every year they choose a good cause to support and this year it is Young in Prison.

Young in Prison offers educational and creative workshops to help youth return to society with prospects for a better future.

Get creative. Support Young in Prison
In 2011 you can doodle and donate (= purchase drawings) to help the children in the Bonnytoun Prison in South Africa, a project by Young in Prison, who offer education and creative workshops to help them return into society with prospects for a better future!

1000 DRAWINGS IS…
…a creative platform that collects and sells 1000s of A5 drawings from and to everybody who loves to support the good cause and a unique, interactive stage for artistic talents to get up, stand up and rise & shine! Are you involved in art, music, fashion, theatre, photography, film, dance, literature, performance?

STYLEBUBBLE SURPRISE


(click to enlarge image)

The last weeks were so busy. Meetings, deadlines, Amsterdam Fashion Week.
Today I finally found time to visit a few of my favourite sites again. And to my surprise I see the illustration that I made of Style Bubble at her blog at January 31, 2011. Susie posts these great and varied photo series and I love her cheeky way of writing.

Last week I completed a special assignment. For a new magazine to come out soon. More info later at my blog. Every time I‘m glad with the surprising contracts that are being awarded towards me, the people I meet, the opportunities and invitations I get and most of all the people who love me back. I love the world of fashion.

Enjoy,
Nancy
