Q: Hi Tom, here's a question to add to your FAQ: Why the name "art4change?" Specifically, why do you choose not to capitalize any of these words? Why choose to use "4" instead "for?" Why no spacing? I think the simple answer is that you are creative, & you are choosing a name that reflects your ingenuity.

A: hi jenny thanks - i think the reason for going with art4change as opposed to art for change or Art For Change or art FOR CHange for that matter..... the reason is really that art4change makes a nice little shape the '4' is roughly in the midde -sort of like a tree peaking out. i wanted something that was distinctive and easy to remember from someone just seeing it for a few seconds on a postcard. i guess it's also a bit of a prince thing too - always the artist

cheers! -tom

Q: How do you go about choosing a subject to draw? Or do they choose you?
A: It's a bit of both really.
