When I was young, naive and idealistic I had this dream. When I got rich and\/or famous I would setup a foundation to teach art to disadvantaged kids back home.<\/p>\n

Well I’m older now. A bit less naive and idealistic. Not a lot richer. That and other dreams have been shelved or forgotten. However this week\u00a0Lori McNee’s post about the twitter art exhibit reminded of this particular dream of my youth.
\nThe Twitter Art Exhibit<\/p>\n

“…utilizes social media and public engagement to generate income for charities and nonprofit organizations.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This years charity is\u00a0Art Division of Los\u00a0Angeles<\/a>,\u00a0a nonprofit organization dedicated to training and supporting underserved youth. See where I’m going with this?\u00a0Artists from around the world submit\u00a0postcard-sized, handmade original artwork which is then sold, income going to Art Division.<\/p>\n

So in\u00a0honor\u00a0of my youthful ideals I’ve decided to participate in this years exhibit. \u00a0My biggest\u00a0obstacle\u00a0will be procrastination. Drop by my Google hangout tonight (All invited<\/a><\/strong>: Thursday Nov. 1 2012 @9:00 est ) when I’ll be working on my submission and looking for a diversion.<\/p>\n
