Fellow World Changers,

I invite you to take part in the "ART MY FEELINGS" project. This project
is designed to give opportunities to AFRICAN CARTOONISTS amateur,professionals
or just about anybody that can draw to pass across a message. (No age limits,
please. Just as long as you are an African and you share the burden of seeing a
better Africa.) Participating artists will have the oppourtunity to be invited
for the 1st Africa Art my feelings conference later next year.

Through the "Art My Feelings" project, African Cartoonists and artists
will be using art (cartoons and illustrations) which is the universal
language to express their feelings about the situations of things as it
concerns them and their community.

You can draw about anything that does not go down well with you in your
country, Africa or the world in general.Or it could even be things that
is worth encouraging too.A maximum of three works per artist are welcome.
Formats are restricted to black and white,please. Deadline for submission is
20th Feburary, 2005.

The artworks will be compelled into a book, and this will stand as a
pictorial documentation of the feelings of Africans,which will be sent
out to so many international NGOs, and Governmental organisations in the
countries of participating artists. Credit will be given for every work
published. And artists published will also have the oppourtunity to be
invited for the 1st Africa "Art my feelings" conference later next
year.

Please also remember to send a very short profile of yourself along
with your work. Works can be sent through post to:

"Art my feelings"
Gbenga Salu
P.O Box 173,
Unilag,
Lagos, Nigeria.
OR
Send it as a JPEG attachment to
artmyfeelings@...

Do spread the message across to any cartoonist or artist that you know.
Africa shall be great!
