Hello, Compassionates,

I need to announce to you that, because the project's nature is apparently against dA policy, we have cleared our gallery. We cannot sell prints as a group, and the only authorized charity account on dA is `ArtistsForCharity. I was not aware that dA had to authorize charity accounts, nor did I find the policy on prints when I searched the FAQ, so I must apologize deeply to all of you that we are finding this out now. Thank you to all of you who gave to the project with your contributions and support!

We are not ending the project altogether. We are pausing to brainstorm new ways to execute the Project's aim, to use our art to join with charity organizations, fighting poverty around the world. Please tell us your ideas in this thread.

To all our contest winners, we will not neglect you! Give us just a little which to coordinate ourselves, and we'll be getting to you with some prizes shortly.

Speaking of which, the poll showed that you voted ~justMANGO's ID as the winner of our ID contest!

Again, I apologize for the chaos, and I hope you'll all speak up as we revamp the project and begin to move forward again.

5 March Edit:
We're still hard at work on the revamp, and a few great ideas have popped up.
But while we get that sorted out, I thought I'd let you all know about a sort of sister project that's running right now, the Don't Eat Dirt project (found on dA at ~donteatdirt). We're committing to small changes to contribute to change in the nation of Haiti. The goal is to raise $1000 in six months--we're already at $30! Check out the site to find out what's going down.

Cheers!
