STUFF ABOUT ME:
I am supporting The David Lynch Foundation. Please join me.
This foundation was established to ensure that any child in America who wants to learn and practice the Transcendental Meditation program can do so. The TM program is the most thoroughly researched and widely practiced program in the world for developing the full creative potential of the brain and mind, improving health, reducing stress, and improving academic outcomes.
After I learned Transcental Meditation on a 4-day course, I truly believe first hand that this practice does wonders with your mind, body and soul. Now daily practice is putting distance between myself and addiction. I’m living in a disciplined way, doing lots of yoga, exercise and Transcendental Meditation. It’s not half good. They give you a mantra … You feel attuned to a consciousness that is beyond your identity and beyond life.
Please check out my project to support this great program. It is very important to me and if anything, I ask that you learn more about it.
Recently I visited Kenya and met some amazing children there and spent their days on the trash heaps looking for anything they could salvage or sell.
In Nairobi, diggers churned the rancid earth and gangsters menacingly patrolled, frequently, I was told abusing the girls who forage there.
Among these children I met, all of whom have lost one or more parent to HIV, it is impossible not to be touched by their incredible spirit and innate ability to be optimistic and playful; normal children, in fact.
I've included some photos from my trip there to the left.
Please check back here in a week when I will have a project that is dedicated to helping these kids find a better life.
Thanks for coming to visit my page. Really... Thanks
Russell
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:

Hello! Here's my April vote for you!
I'm sending this to as many people as I can; for the rest of the year everyone who donates ANY AMOUNT to ANY of my projects will receive a super cool digital collage made by little old me. I like to do portraits, but the subject matter will be up to you; your pet, friend, family member, place, thing, whatever!
January's winner was Allison D, who's been raising money for Steroid Responsive Encephalopathy related to Autoimmune Thyroiditis (SREAT), among other things. Check out her blog (and the collage I did for her) http://helpforhe.wordpress.com/
March's winner was Elise Marie who's raised over $11,000 for a collection of really cool projects. Her collage will be coming out soon, here is her page, www.crowdrise.com/elisemariemyrvangeik
To get things started this month, I started a new project benefiting Akshaya U.S.A. An unbelievable group of people lead by one man who gave up a life of wealth and success feeding wealthy people to feed the poor and forgotten in his town in India. Please come check it out and hop on as a team member! A special thank you gift will be sent to those who donate to this project along with the collage.
I really want to show my appreciation to all those who donate to my projects, even if it's just a small amount, I'm an artist by nature and doing these collages is something I really like to do.
Check out my page to see a couple examples, and if you're on Facebook you can see some that I did for a student film > http://snipurl.com/1tqvsw, (if that link doesn't work see Smirk on FB).
