"Sacrifice" 18x24 limited editition lithograph

It’s with a great sense of excitement and delight that alfa8 presents this limited edition print to help launch the MISCOM campaign.

MISCOM, which is short for Missing Commandment, is a newly formed nonprofit organization, founded on the specific mission of helping children in need.

The singular goal of MISCOM is to bring to light the untold stories of suffering and neglected children throughout the world in an effective and engaging manner that would help lead to social awareness and progressive policy shifts.

The story of children, whether pre-born or aging, is the fundamental and foundational story of humanity.  I strongly believe that should we, as guardians and leaders of children’s present and future welfare, profoundly honor their unalienable and sovereign rights, the world would be a far more equitable and just paradise.

This limited edition print being offered is titled “Sacrifice”.  It depicts the descent from the cross.  The figures revolve around a spiral form, which is the quintessential symbol of the movement of galaxies and the double helix of life.

The prints are made on archival acid-fee paper bearing the artist’s signature, the studio seal, and their number in the edition, which is limited to 60 prints.

While the gallery-listed price for each print is $600, for this inaugural fund raising on behalf of MISCOM it’s being made available at $200.

Thank you for caring and please feel free to contact us for further information and involvement in the MISCOM mission and projects.

Peace,

Let’s for a moment leave the branding absurdities aside…

Let’s for a moment disregard whether you’re a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim.  For that matter let’s set aside whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican or a Socialist or a Communist; whether you’re black or white or red or yellow, old or young, gay or straight, or any mix therein.

Instead let’s show outrage that on the Inauguration day, having just elected a man who professed inclusiveness and unity, we are told and defined and reprimanded along so-called racial boundaries.

The darkness upon us is not the color of skin, for skin has no color since it is an irrelevant sheathing upon a vessel housing character; but this darkness is the color of charACTer seen as the outward ACTion of His soul.

This man, during a fairytale production, had in his grasp, were he not a puppet, the unique opportunity to use the popular mandate afforded him for the greater good; but alas, such expectations are indeed above
his “Pay Grade”: click on this link to find out more, then watch the video below, published recently.

La China has become a celebrity in her shanty town (Photo courtesy of Clarin)

An eight-year-old dog has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an abandoned baby, placing him safely alongside her own new puppies.

The country’s media are calling him “the miracle baby”.

He was born prematurely to a 14-year-old girl in a shanty town outside the capital, Buenos Aires.

She is said to have panicked and abandoned the boy in a field, surrounded by wooden boxes and rubbish.

Then along came La China, the dog which somehow picked up the baby and carried him 50m to place him alongside her own puppies.

The dog’s owner heard the child crying and found him covered with a rag.

The baby, weighing 4kg (8lb 13oz), had some slight injuries, but no bite marks. The owner called the police and the child is now being looked after by the authorities, while a decision is taken about his future.

The frightened mother appeared shortly after her baby was found.

The Argentine media has descended on the shanty town, talking of “the Argentine Romulus and Remus”, the founders of Rome, abandoned as babies and rescued by a wolf, nearly 3,000 years ago.

La China, worried about her own puppies, is reported to be petrified by her new found fame, and her owner says he is worried that she is not eating.

“When do babies get human rights?”

“I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade”

Then the questions that beg to be asked are:

1. Mr. Obama, in practical terms, whose “pay grade” is it to assign specificity as to when babies acquire human rights? Sir, as you know, babies are born or aborted as we speak, and as the leader of this nation you will be responsible to take action. Have you just shirked your responsibility and deferred the decision to an unnamed source with a higher “pay grade”? Will you inform your constituency who this “pay grade” is and how he, she, it, they will affect the fate of babies in real-time?

2. If this task is beyond and above your “pay grade”, then how do you explain your track record of consistently deciding against granting unborn babies human rights? Who or what had authorized you to make those decisions? Will you please share that information with the citizens whose lives and welfare you might be in custody of?

Thank you Sir
