Art4Giving is a charitable initiative funded by the sale of @RealRossU's art. We support causes that make a real difference in people’s lives & benefit society.
With immense gratitude to @art_4_giving and Ross Ulbricht for supporting our work and thereby providing access to art books for more incarcerated artists like dominic, who used coffee (!!!) to paint this leaf for us.

Ross knows how important it is for prisoners to have access to education. Many want to keep busy and/or learn new skills for better job opportunities upon release.
The Last Mile is a nonprofit that does just that and #Art4Giving is proud to support them.
