In response to the earthquake and tsumani that hit Japan on March 11, 2011 I wanted to show my support and love by creating this illustration. 
 
Here are some place you could donate and see what other designers are doing to help
AMERICAN RED CROSS: Emergency Operation Centers are opened in the affected areas and staffed by the chapters. This disaster is on a scale larger than the Japanese Red Cross can typically manage. Donations to the American Red Cross can be allocated for the International Disaster Relief Fund, which then deploys to the region to help. Donate here.
GLOBALGIVING: Established a fund to disburse donations to organizations providing relief and emergency services to victims of the earthquake and tsunami. Donate here.
SAVE THE CHILDREN: Mobilizing to provide immediate humanitarian relief in the shape of emergency health care and provision of non-food items and shelter. Donate here.
SALVATION ARMY: The Salvation Army has been in Japan since 1895 and is currently providing emergency assistance to those in need. Donate here.
AMERICARES: Emergency team is on full alert, mobilizing resources and dispatching an emergency response manager to the region. Donate here.
CONVOY OF HOPE: Disaster Response team established connection with in-country partners who have been impacted by the damage and are identifying the needs and areas where Convoy of Hope may be of the greatest assistance. Donate here.INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CORPS: Putting together relief teams, as well as supplies, and are in contact with partners in Japan and other affected countries to assess needs and coordinate our activities. Donate here.
SHELTER BOX: The first team is mobilizing to head to Japan and begin the response effort. Donate here.

I really enjoy photography, but hardy get a chance to practice it. So when my boyfriend and I went to his sister’s house for the Super Bowl (Steelers vs. Packers) I decided to take this opportunity and take some pics of his cute little niece. It wasn’t well planned (no proper lighting), but I just wanted to test it out. We used some of my wigs (her hair is blonde) and worked with what we had. I think she did really well, and I also learned some new stuff on Photoshop after (always a win)!
