Saving the world with robots & monsters
If you know me, you will know my love of robots, monsters, and of course world-saving projects, so you have no idea how insanely happy it makes me that this following project even exists. I just stumbled across RobotsAndMonsters.org, a charitable project that matches charitable giving with custom-made commissioned pop art. From the site:
Giving just a little bit gets you an original drawing of a robot or a monster of your specification sent to your door – and in the process, you get to sleep better at night, because you know you’ve just helped out a great cause.
Part charitable powerhouse, part experiment in collective creativity, and part underground pop-art gallery, we aim to change the world, one robot and monster at a time.
Over the past three years, Robots and Monsters has raised almost $20,000 for Water.org, The Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
Their current cause for 2010 is Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
Sadly, they seem to currently be on a well-deserved hiatus, having raised $5,000 this year already. But, they seem to be relaunching soon, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, I am definitely getting myself one of these awesome tees and/or hoodie.
