Today from 7-9 p.m. the Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery at
Smith Center in Washington, D.C., will hold its annual Alchemical Vessel benefit
fundraiser to help folks who have cancer. Among the various works of art will
be the handwork of local artist/cartoonist Steve Loya (see image below).
In other Loya news, Steve’s
tortoise illustration titled "Peaceful Survivor" piece won the World Animal
Protection art contest for the 18 and over category, selected by
actress Evanna Lynch (who, unfortunately botched identifying the animal,
calling it a sea turtle.)
