| I’ve long been a fan of The Museum of Bad Art, and recently discovered that they’ve produced a book of the, umm, masterpieces of the collection.

As some of you know, I’m a big supporter of Kiva, an organization that facilitates loans to small business owners around the world.
About a year ago, I started a lending team at Kiva called Artists for Change. Since last August, over 90 artists from around the world have banded together, and we’ve made 282 loans totalling over $7,500.
If you’re a member of Kiva, you can join our team. If not, I hope you’ll sign up, and let Kiva know that I sent you, so your picture will show up on my Kiva lender page.
I hope Artists for Change will continue to grow, and will make many, many more loans in the future. I know we have the ability to make the world a better place when we work together.
