Help Japan poster.

Words can't express how we feel about what has happened in Japan never mind what is to come. To raise relief funds for the the devastating 8.9 earthquake and subsequent massive tsunami that struck Japan March 11, 2011. 100% of the proceeds go to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief.

Compassion please.

The Unseen World permanent installation by Kate Kaman

We met Kate Kaman a few years back. She was making large scale sculpture and had a couple very large pieces that were temporary installations. This week we were lucky enough to be invited to the Dedication of Kate Kaman's permanent installation at Temple University Medical Education and Research Building the Wendy and Solomon Luo, MD, Auditorium. The Unseen World is a dynamic larger-than-life sculptural depiction of the most plentiful and ancient microscopic life forms - bacteria.
