Description EDIT2:

Yea, I understand that making art isn't going to physically help anyone.

But you know, if I was hit by a tsunami and an earthquake, and then continue to have nuclear toxins released in the air, I would hope people would care.

I'm sorry that I don't have money to donate.
I'm sorry to all the people in Japan who need those donations.

But to those who can, please donate. I'm not going to preach about it, but if you can, please do. If not, then just do what you can.

donation links[more OFFICIAL links will be added];

ENGLISH- Japanese red cross[through Google, the official Japanese Red Cross page is in Japanese]; [link]

Text message "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

American Humane Association- [link]

Save The Children- [link]

Citizen Effect- [link]

World Vision- [link]

EDIT:
So, I woke up this morning. Got on the computer to DeviantART to see 307 messages.
and I figured it was from someone going upload crazy.

BUT NO.
INSTEAD
HOLY COW. A DD.
Thank you SOO much to for suggesting it and for featuring it!

Yes, I understand that other places were affected by the earthquake and tsunami. Honeslty, I don't know the situation in the other countries. How bad they need help, if they have the supplies they need. But Japan was hit the worst, and I did not mean to display ignorance toward the other countries affected.

I apologize if people were offended.

[/EDIT]

better days are coming for you, Japan.

I'm sorry for anything that's incorrect in Japanese! I used Google Translator and we all know how accurate that thing is..

i am SO freaking sick of these people who constantly comment on these "Pray For Japan" pieces of art saying

"OH I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD AND I DON'T PRAY SO PRAYING WON'T DO ANYTHING AND YOU ARE ALL WASTING YOUR TIME HURPDURP."

just shut the hell up.
i typed up 70 words you could use in place of "pray"

so i hope you all can come up with something better to say than "I'm atheist or whatever and don't believe in god."

love
believe
hope
pray

whatever you want.
just do it.

I did'nt mean money, I meant...uhm, what would you call it...Moral support? All I'm saying is there is a ton of work and support and such things for Japan, which makes the output to Haiti seem comparitively small.

i know what you mean. but the way people showed their support was in different ways. Haiti got more money, while Japan has gotten more art. i wouldnt say Haiti got less support, but that it was in different forms.

GASP.


Nah, that doesn't ruin my happiness. In this piece the focus isn't on the action of praying - rather it's framed as just one of the many things one can do to show their support and try to help. Still makes me happy.

What-the-Gaff In reply to ??? [2011-03-26 20:02:41 +0000 UTC]

The thing that's great about the Japanese is that they know how to keep a cool head in a crisis. I've read up on their situation, and even though things seem to be pretty hellish over there, they're really working together to keep things stable. It's an inspiration.

If L.A. was hit by an earthquake/tsunami/nuclear meltdown all at once, I don't wanna think about what would happen. Possibly massive riots. Not the Japanese, though!

amosbeck In reply to What-the-Gaff [2011-03-26 22:26:14 +0000 UTC]

I must agree, Japan was very well prepared for this crisis.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

What-the-Gaff In reply to amosbeck [2011-03-26 23:09:24 +0000 UTC]

Well, no, I wouldn't actually say they were that well prepared for this, but rather I would say that they are highly adaptable. No one could have prepared for the level of hell they're contending with now. They know how to roll with the punches.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

amosbeck In reply to What-the-Gaff [2011-03-26 23:23:27 +0000 UTC]

I didn't mean that they were prepared for a level 8 earthquake and a tsunami, but Japan already has a great system when it comes to having earthquakes, considering it's a normal part of their life.

KidateCalf In reply to ??? [2011-03-26 19:59:21 +0000 UTC]

This is nicely done, but I'd rather have high hopes for ALL of the countries affected, and not just Japan. :/

FaeLynWing [2011-03-26 19:45:00 +0000 UTC]

WELL! I am agnostic. (Sorry, sorry! You said find something better, so I had to say it. Forgive me. <3)

One a more serious (or not so) note, this is amazing. Like...absolutely, incredibly, fantastically amazing. I love the overall appearance of this, it's just beautiful. But m favorite part, the focal point of the piece, is the red circle qwith the typography. The mix of English and Japanese is a great effect.

The definitely deserved a DD, and I'm glad you got it! <3

people were commenting saying "other places were affected too! what about them?" I meant that I have heard that other places were affected, but I'm not sure on the extent that they were affected.

According to what I've read and hear, other places got 10cm-1m waves.

1m waves aren't too bad, as far as I know.

HaanPere In reply to amosbeck [2011-03-26 23:58:53 +0000 UTC]

Nope, and so far I haven't heard of anyone having to suffer from those waves(except for one guy who decided to photo said waves and drowned because of his own stupidity).
Too bad this won't stop people from being dramatic about it.
