Hello,
I believe I have e-mailed you before about the Midnight in Chicago
project at www.midnightinchicago.com . Midnight in Chicago is trying to
raise funds for autism organizations in both the US and Canada. This
project is rapidly expanding across both countries.
Soon, you will see a podcast on autism appear on our site on the Media
page. This podcast was in part funded by revenue from art and CD sales.
More podcasts relating to autism will appear over the coming months.
I am an international artist and Elyse Bruce is an international
singer/songwriter, and composer.
We are asking you to post this message in your forum because we don't
believe in joining into other people's online forums unless we are
actively going to participate there.
You can now get your very own autism art cards.
Art cards are blank greeting cards and come with their own envelopes.
Looking in on Autism/Asperger Man (a painting done by me) can be seen
and ordered here: http://tinyurl.com/yt8sxa
If you are AS and are tired of being treated by others as though you
are a sideshow freak, this one is good for you. Anyone who is NOT AS
and who looks at this painting will see an AS person through a piece of
glass as though the AS person is on display. This puts THE viewer in
the uncomfortable position of a circus sideshow curiosity seeker and
lets them him or her know how uncomfortable he or she sometimes makes
us feel when they value us just for our savant skils.
Reaching the Autistic Mind (a painting done by me) can be seen and
ordered here: http://tinyurl.com/yujkas
We all have what seems to us as a normal mind, yet everyone else seems
to find it hard to get through. In this painting, there are separate
mazes for family, friends, psychologists, and psychiatrists. As each
take their own journey to reach the autistic mind, what they discover
at the center is pure beauty.
Life as an Aspling (a painting done by Elyse's 11 year old son) can be
seen here: http://tinyurl.com/2gtone
A protector (lion) sits in the background to guard Cub against the
onslought of life in a non-Aspie world.
A set of 6 cost $8.50 (taxes included) plus shipping and handling. Keep
them or send them out to your friends to let them know about Asperger
Syndrome and Autism. At least $1.50 from each set of cards bought
gets split evenly between the Asperger Society of Ontario and the
Metropolitan Autism Society of America. When you consider that only .10
of every kids meal at a well-known fast food restaurant goes to charity
these art cards make far more of a difference.
Viewed another way, when you buy a set of six, your cost per card is
essentially $1.42 plus shipping and handling. Go into a greeting card
retailer and you ma pay $2.50 for a blank greeting card. Where else can
you save money AND support a worthwhile cause?
See the entire store here: http://tinyurl.com/2g9bdl .
And don't forget about the Midnight In Chicago Album for only $5.00.
http://tinyurl.com/2ovt7f Net proceeds from sales of this CD also go
to the Asperger Society of Ontario and the Metropolitan Chicago Autism
Society of America. This CD has songs on it written by international
composer/singer/songwriter Elyse Bruce who is the composer of the
Quietudes instrumental CD. http://tinyurl.com/2q7rc2

Other paintings done by me:
North Side Chicago Alley (a painting done by me) :
http://tinyurl.com/yv5hmw
Painted from a photograph every brick is visible in this painting. But
a slightly surreal element comes into play. The dirty alley has been
"cleaned up" and made almost into a thing of beauty.
Vintage Vacation (a painting done by me): http://tinyurl.com/yqdn76
Painted from a photograph, this is an old 1971 Plymouth Fury station
wagon pulling a trailor in front of the Grand Tetons.
