Lend your a hand for fading Light.

I have very urgent message to everyone. Please read below:


<sub>Zaprzeg Zycia (means "Sleddog of Life") is a little charity organization with unique atmosphere organized by some people with heart- which is focusing to help people who are in tragic life situation, fighting with cancer and helping abandoned sled dogs. We started helping and supporting Ewa Uba- a woman, a musher who is fighting with her cancer and is in very tragic situation.
It's not a sponsored or big organization, but is held by friends- with their own time, energy and finances they sacrificed for Zaprzeg Zycia to help Ewa. Isn't that beautiful when people and friends are helping disinteresly and doing everything to save someone's life?

Also what is unique with ZZ (Zaprzeg Zycia) and it's team- here, mushing in our country is getting more popular and we Poland are most successful on international ring specializing in Sprint Racings organized by WSA. Sadly, in effect the self ego of mushers grow stronger and stronger. Most mushers who race, did not put a helping hand to anything- they are extremaly focused for winning races or getting best dogs and get the fame. Those mushers who runned ZZ are ones who are not racing on official sprint racings, not interested in winning and ones who are supporting true mushing with long distances. Many people (non-mushers) do see mushing very often badly, like on people whom desire to win races and fame.
We, ZZ, want to show that mushing isn't about to sprint race and using dogs to win, but we want to show we are part of family, animals make us as better people not creating ego and especially- raising a helping hand, like how it happens in Alaska and in Arctic Circle.


So, in previous year where Zaprzeg Zycia was born, we successfuly organized several party picnic in some places in Poland such like Warsaw and Gdansk, and it ended with great success, we had mushing attractions, picnics, concert and fun- and all money which we collected went to Ewa. You can see photos from Warsaw's one! manu.dogomania.pl/coppermine/t…
Not only by organizing picnics but we are seeking other ways for funds and help...

However. Right now Zaprzeg Zycia has stood on the edge in danger to fall off from cliff.
Things went more difficult. Funds are shrinking and life is going away. Everyone believed in ZZ which would run again in this new year but probably it's going to end the cycle. Ewa is ending her living cycle too, dark cancer is stronger than light in power of ZZ.</sub>

Artists.
We have a great chance to lead Zaprzeg Zycia alive.
We can draw.
We may not have dogs and ride on sleds, but we can bring a life in drawing.
Itself drawing has a big worth and meaning.


I'm calling artists with a heart who would be willing be a little part of ZZ by doing art and sell on charity auctions, thanks to fund we could help ZZ continue running. How you can help

1. I'm seeking for good artists who would be willing doing official Collaborations for Zaprzeg Zycia with me. The originals will be represented on auctions (if we can keep ZZ running alive, they would be represented in Eurofurence) and I thought doing an album of Collabs for sale with pictures of collabs and extra infos about artists + photography.
Khaosdog and me, did successful painting who is symbolizing a running light of ZZ:


Current artist's list:
khaosdog - done, "Lightbringers"
Gray-Ghost-Creations - done (will upload later)
AlectorFencer
WildSpiritWolf
akreon
Quinneys
MoonsongWolf
KristenPlescow

If you're an artist with good art and willing to participant in this, by lending a helping hand- please send to me a note. Sorry I'm very limited with collabs.


2. Artists from all around world can draw a painting or illustration can draw (it can be sculpting etc) and offer art for sale for ZZ. I don't care how good artist you're, but the art should be done in right quality standards and as the best as you can. Once the website will be up, pictures will be for sale. However, you would have to send the original to me and I'll be carrying album of originals for ZZ. YOU dont need to send a note to me, just note me when you're done with picture- but questions, comment below this journal.

Theme for art is sled-dog related as the most prefered, but it can be wolves or other animals-themed. Art doesn't needs to be realistic but it can be surreal with nice meaning, like Lightbringers which shows a hope of light breaking through darkness.

Deadline? There is no specific deadline, but we would love to get art as soon as possible because every day counts of life! Would be good if we could manage get art done for middle of July.

3. For non-artists, you can support us by purchasing our art/stuff for ZZ. There will be displayed originals of collabs for ZZ on auctions, prints, original art from people who were participanting and other stuff. I plan to run line of framed Lightbringers prints for now.

4. You can spread this journal. <3


Any other ideas, suggestions are welcomed!


My dream would be to organize artistic Zaprzeg Zycia-devmeet somewhere outside of Poland. But we'll see, if many artists can reunite together and we can lead living own ZZ, someday we could organize ZZ in real... but on the other hand, I'm working to have allowance for ZZ in Eurofurence at least
So yes, let's see if we all around the world can help each together! Thank you for reading, commenting and supporting!
