Collective art project to send Will some love and support.
-
@Coley Brilliant! Please do!
-
Getting started on my this evening. Planning on using Will's own penguin character in the piece.
-
@Chip-Valecek That’s funny. I had that idea too. It’s OBVIOUSLY a good one.
I am going to make something for Will (possibly penguin related). Just chiming in so you can know to expect one from me.
-
@Chip-Valecek That's a brilliant idea!
-
@JennyJones And snap! Haha! Great idea and super glad you're creating something
-
Totally in! I have been following wills work for a while now, and was heartbroken for him when I heard...I would love to have a way to send his family love and prayers, and what better way than through art
thank you @ShannonBiondi for making this happen Rex Watkins
-
@ShannonBiondi This is great. I'd love to contribute!
-
@ewatkins09 Yay! I'm so glad that you're taking part. I'll be uploading a link to a shared folder soon so we can upload higher resolution artwork there.

@Tamisha Fantastic
I'll upload a link to a shared folder soon and you can add your piece there sometime before 15th May. -
Hi everyone.
So here is a link to a shared folder that you can all add your high resolution images to.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ccIlea_-YXct287TYjPprtiLXUFhC2ZZ?usp=sharing
Let me know if there are any issues with it!

@ShannonBiondi Hi Shannon, I uploaded a file because this poem reminded me of how Will has talked about his wife over the years. It doesn't fit the theme of a guardian angel, so if this is not appropriate, I will try to come up with something that does.
Thank you for organizing this
-
@BichonBistro I think that's lovely and really moving
Did you paint the background? It's gorgeous. Thanks for sending it!@abhainn_fionn
-
@ShannonBiondi Thank you Shannon, yes it's a painting of the shoreline in Ocracoke, North Carolina, cropped to fit the square motif. Somewhere I saw a photo of Lori at a beach and Margaret Mead's poem just reminded me of Will, especially the line "to the faithful, I have never left". I think we are all heartbroken for Will and feel helpless to console, so the gofundme and this book provide a means for us to let Will know how very much he is in our hearts. Thanks so much.
-
@BichonBistro It's a really beautiful painting and I'm sure he'll find a lot of comfort in the poem. Yes, I was so happy his friend set up a GoFundMe. As you say, even though I've never met Will, I still really wanted to help in any way I could as he is such a kind and generous person. I'm so happy this got traction - hopefully we will be able to comfort him a bit through the art he helps us create.
-
I didn't put my name on it. Does it need to be on the picture? I guess it doesn't need to be. Thanks.

@ShannonBiondi I’m in. Your last words pulled me over my trepidation about sharing my work. But Will would be the first person to say out it out there.
Great idea.
-
@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Fantastic Marsha!!! That's a really cute image. If there are any words you wanna share with Will let me know. Whenever you get a chance could you upload the art work into the Google Drive folder I shared? I know I said to post it here but apparently there's a cap on resolution on the forum... Thanks!
@abhainn_fionn
-
@Susan-Marks Yes! That's absolutely what he would say! Can't wait to see your piece!
-
@Johanna-Kim I just saw the piece you uploaded. It is so cute!!!
@abhainn_fionn

@ShannonBiondi oh, sorry. I didn't see that. I was wondering why the were no other images. I'll have to try it later on my laptop. Thanks.
