Many of you probably have heard about the recent deadly earthquake in China. I was looking at some photographs of the situation on the New York Times website. I came across this photograph of two boys trapped in the rubble. The caption for this photo is "Boys trapped under a collapsed building awaited rescue"
This photo of these two boys who are not being helped by the photographer reminds me of artist Banky's rendition of a similar theme:
Let's stop treating people--especially children--like news stories. They are humans--who are suffering and need assistance more than they need glamor shots.

Since I am new to the blog--I asked Augur what sort of things would be good to post. He told me anything---so I chose to feature some artwork.
So here is an artist I would like to share with you. His name is Banksy and you can check him out here http://www.banksy.co.uk/
I particularly like this drawing of hunters creeping up on some grocery carts; notice the carts are three different sizes (Mama cart, Papa cart, and baby cart). This drawing reminds me of my monthly shopping excursion to Meijer where my primal instincts lead me to "hunt" for deals in the protein sections and "gather" in the produce aisles.
I hope you enjoy perusing through his work.
