What is Making the Green Trees Cry? by KazM
These trees are crying as there are so few of them left as people don’t appreciate what they have. / Do you agree/ / Do you have another idea? I think that they are artificially green due to too much fertilizer which is a short term cure and a long term problem. / The original photo was taken at Glenbawn Dam (NSW). Go and see it while it is still there.

Love is Love is Love by G! Patrick Colvin
I am tired of hearing people say that if homosexuals are allowed to marry it will somehow damage my marriage. Love is Love is Love people! It doesn’t matter who it is. I think a lot of us miss the point when we use the phrase we are all one people under our skin. Under our skin doesn’t just mean the color of our skin, but beneath all the outward signs that divide us into categories. That’s right, even our genetalia. I’ve never heard the phrase “sexually compatible part mates” or “procreationally abled mates” but I have heard “soulmates” and as far as I know, souls don’t have “equipment.” So let’s get over ourselves. OK? If you wish to purchase this as a greeting card, allow me to suggest the following qoutation for the inside. “Love conquers all things; let us surrender to Love.” – Virgil (70-19BC) [Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil] Roman Epic Poet (This design also available as clothing)

Martin Luther King "I Have a Dream" by Rob Davies
This year, 19th January is Martin Luther King Jr. Day Read his infamous speech in it’s entirety — I am neither black, nor american, nor downtrodden or disadvantaged in most senses of the word, though reading into the subject in preparation for the coming holiday, I went with something simple on the basis that no matter how fancy I tried to make this, it could not stand up to the image of the great man himself. So a couple of hours in Illustrator later, here it is. I hope some of the people viewing this image take the time to read his speech, I believe in many ways it’s as pertinent today as it was in the summer of 1963, be it for the colour of your skin, or for the choices and situations we all face in life.

Praise Okolomai 11th Dec 2002 - 7th Jan 2009 by TREVOR IRWIN
Today 7th January 2009, I was contacted by Our field medical officer to inform me that Praise has gone to heaven at 5.54am this morning. I am deeply saddened and my eyes are streaming with many tears to hear of little Praise leaving us. Praise was a very special little girl and one I became deeply drawn too. She had a disease called Rickets, which bowed her upper and lower legs, and she walked with difficulty and in pain. I have decided to notify all my precious friends by adding her photo once again with her name on it and by adding this message. It is so heartbreaking to know when I return to the Village later this year I will no longer see her coming to me. Please pray for her Parents and only surviving Sister. Praise died from Malaria. if we had the money we could have treated her. Thank you all for your Donations of Money via our Charity Website, and donations of art to His hands working-Christian missions group here at Redbubble. Thank you to all my beloved friends who have been praying for the mission and the extreme poor Sick and disabled in Isolated villages. They all know that there are not forgotten and that all of you are praying for them and the Mission to help many like Praise. We need your prayers and support to help many like her. Grace and the twins are very well now because of a few kind people here on RB who made donations toward medicines. Although I know Praise is now at peace and rest, I will miss my Little friend very much. God Bless all of you. Trevor. I invite all to please visit my Mission Africa Charity website: / http://www.philadelphia33.org/ Donate some of your art and save a child’s life!

I was thinking to write this one for long.. And I want to write it.. I just wrote it and it was something as “one stone two birds..” :)) Let me tell you something… :)) Redbubble… / I can draw another portfoy for it.. I can talk bad even.. I can say good and flatter it too.. This is a free portal of artists.. In the base idea, everyone is an artist.. But everyone has an idea/comment too… / Personaly, I dont call myself artist.. Cause I couldnt change anything but a few in the whole world .. / So this has a relative mean for anyone… The point I am here with is, to know people like you, like anyone at the similar path.. We cannot be same otherwise, we d have same fingerprints.. :) But if you think about the positivity, (I “WAS” ( WAS) very negative person and complainin about every wrong situation.. Either I was right or not.. Most of I was.. But what s the diference than NOT complainining, or others ??? Know what, you only bother/disturb/ even push yourself… And sometime later, becomes your habbit.. Then you loose the mean of life, point of life.. Then you even suicide lol :)) You understand what I mean.. Although I see a lot, (or I do not) I just dont care and look at my path.. Thats all.. / People say good or they say bad/they talk bad behind… / The point is, you know the reality.. Or you at least realize.. But when you look at with a positivity to anything even “dirts, even s///, believe me, you just learn many things from them… So it changes your life and your psychology… I am happy, cause I think, I see a lot.. Well, I dont think I am Mr. Knowseverything.. I d not too.. I am a simple person even a “piece of dust” lets say… / But I dont care anything goes around.. Someone sends me message to vote the art…Someone gossips.Someone talks good or other one bad.. Know what ??? NOTHING WILL LOOSE MY CONFIDENCE HERE… Hey what do you talk about ?? I see hosts here, I see groups here, and they DO HAVE DIVISIONS, they call themselves they are beautiful, they are very good and blah blah !!! / KNow what ?? “Bull s//// !! I just dont care who is who… The point is inside of you.. Today, people say hello, but tomorrow, they ignore because of YOU SAID YOUR OWN OPINION with a work about religion, nationalism or anythings else of these s-- !!! I think, people has to take care of being slaves of the system or NOT.. Thats their matter, their point.. But my advice would be : Grown up kids.. Grown up !! Wake Up !!!! You just dont care and make your own artwork and let the people like to talk to you or, ignore you or comment bad.. No problem heeey !!!! :))) Keep your peace inside.. And show off, this is peace !!! That would be the best answer to yourself… The MOST CORRECT ANSWER is just you .. Non of us ( I think) are your answers.. Cause the question is inside of your own and the answer will be too… I simply, love my friends here at RB.. There are the ones, I love, and they know I do… There are the ones I simply respect.. There are the ones, I feel they dont want to share anything even a little piece of dust.. But I just dont care.. Cause, I will be alone walking on the bridge.. What I am 100 % sure of is, I can walk on a fine line blind..And no one will ask anything to them.. I d be questioned… Not anyone else! This is something “SELF”. I saw people, because of I am friend with their enemies, they broke up their friendship with me.. This is comedy and drama at the same time.. But it shows only one thing… They are so weak to see who I am… So weak to accept who I am and who they are.. I cant judge anyone because of a matter with someone else.. / I cant do that.. I dont think I am a judge even.. Justice depends on many things..I am at the middle, watching everything unless, the person harms me… Then I think something different.. / But see people.. They just cant even see it.. That is sad !!! That is sad FOR THEM.. Not for me.. Cause, I walk on my path and dont need anyone “trap or dicky”... :)) Keep your power, soul, inside.. Let it shine and keep your people, hug them tight. I am sure there are alot of peope love “you”, me, he, she.. Just take it.. Thats the point of life.. Enjoy it please !!! Dont let anything anyone makes you down, disappointed.. / Dont expect anything.. Simply be yourself and do whatever you wanted to… / Think only one thing while you are enjoying your life.. / Please enjoy your own life, not anyone elses.. :)) / And accept the poeple as they are… I am not writing this to blame or under others.. I am writing it as a sample but a good sample ... You CANT expect a coffee pot to do laundry.. This is reality.. :)) / Why d not you think anything wrong for a coffee pot ?? Cause you just dont have any expectations/expect from it… :)) “Love the creations in the name of Creator”. -mevlana Love Ya, Hug Ya All.. / Peace / Light Love Knowledge :)) / HUGS / Sincerely, / Your Friend Erhan

Ghetto by Ranald
History teaches some men lessons they find valuable. It’s time we really learned. For those who want to know, the Hebrew should read “Warsaw 1940 / Gaza 2009 / Ghetto”.
