Hi Indigo:
Thanks for your email message.
Is there any possibility that either you or your
friend could do any pro bono work?
I founded and am executive director for IASG-the
International Artists Support Group.
We have a data base of about 500 international artists.
Also 50 galleries and embassies.
We just acquired a promise to do pro bono graphic
design work in exchange for international exposure.
That is what we could promise in return if you are able to help us.
I am forwarding this exchange to our president, Jack Hannula.
We look forward to hearing from you.
