For those that don't know, Heartland Alliance has changed the name of the Art Against AIDS event to The Art of Human Rights beginning this year. It is coming up fast on February 19th, 2010 so you should get your tickets soon!

It is an event/fundraiser that I have been affiliated with for over 3 years now benefitting the Heartland Alliance. Artists donate their work for both silent and live fine art auctions. Proceeds from the event will help Heartland Alliance provide housing, healthcare, economic security, and legal protections services to more than 200,000 people whose lives are threatened by poverty and danger, including those living with HIV/AIDS.

The blog has been silent for quite some time. Why you ask? Buried in iPad press, elections and Superbowl? No, no, no!

We're working hard on something new and exciting! The midnight oil is burning by the tanker and all pistons are firing... But it's not QUITE ready yet. However, let me introduce you to the new logo for tello!

Mum's the word aside from that until the end of the month!

I just recently wrapped up work on Direct2Food for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago! It's nothing short of unbelievably exciting for me... This website has been in heavy development of various sorts for the last year plus a handful of months. I was practically doing cartwheels.

Uh, great... So what IS Direct2Food, anyway?

It's a site developed for the Illinois Food and Nutrition Advocacy Partnership designed to help members of the metropolitan Chicago community access the information and resources necessary to ensure food is on their tables. It does that by helping both service providers and consumers locate food pantries, soup kitchens, and meal programs closest to them as well as helping to determine if they are eligible for further assistance like food stamps and resources for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
