Crafts For A Cause

THE ONLINE AUCTION IS NOW OVER. My name is Binki Shapiro, and I play in the band Little Joy. In an effort to raise money for the relief efforts in earthquake-devastated Haiti, I've rallied a bunch of artists to contribute custom-made artwork -- t-shirts, tote bags and other personalized items -- for the Crafts For A Cause auction. All proceeds will go to Artists for Peace and Justice, an amazing charitable organization founded by my dear friend Paul Haggis. To learn more about them, visit www.artistsforpeaceandjustice.com Please follow me on Twitter for updates... http://twitter.com/binki_shapiro I can be emailed at: [email protected] Want pics, promo stuff, press kit? : [email protected] CONTRIBUTORS: Vampire Weekend Natalie Portman Regina Spektor Adam Green The Strokes Bright Eyes Fleet Foxes Rodarte No Doubt Jenny Lewis Norah Jones The Mars Volta Le Tigre Sia Spike Jonze Devendra Banhart Aziz Ansari Shirley Manson of Garbage Mark Ronson Daft Punk Kings of Leon Grizzly Bear Tegan & Sara Kate Nash Kevin "Spanky" Long Feist Liv Tyler Frankie Rayder Maroon 5 No Age Drew Barrymore M.
