Hi folks,

Sorry for a quite off-topic post, but my friend Omar needs votes! He's an amazing artist, trying to scrape together funds to travel and paint the places he visits. You can see some of his work from Newfoundland here: http://omar-paint.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html - including, if you scroll down a ways, one of me in my preferred coffee house. To see some of his work from when he lived in the Emirates, click here: http://omar-paint.blogspot.com/search/label/UAE . His block has work from other places as well, and information about the "urban sketchers," a network of artists who do paintings and drawings of their cities all over the world.

He's now in Berlin (where he isn't so happy painting), and is trying to win a contest from a hotel chain that would provide a plane ticket and lodgings to travel for a while and do more work. He needs more votes to win - could you please help by voting here: http://wunsch.hrs.de/?page=alleteilnehmer&show=380 The site is in German, but if you click on "vote here," most of it is clear. The key thing is that after you vote, you'll get an email with a link you need to click on to confirm your vote. That will all be in German too, but it is pretty self-evident if you know what it is.

Thanks so much to anyone who would be willing to support him! And if, once you've seen some of his work, you're willing to pass this on to other people or lists, that would be really super!

Joy
