New York City couple, Christine and Justine, have an ongoing project called Needs For Sale, which finds the duo selling paintings so they can donate to charities they like, but can’t afford to help on their own. For instance, the phone above is an 11″ x 14″ painting that costs $250.00. Whoever buys it will essentially be donating their money to, in this case, phone calls for the troops. Sometime after 5 o’clock this afternoon, four new painting will go up for sale, with the profits going to charities like New York Cares, The American Red Cross and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (the microscope shown above). Every selfless act comes tandem with a self-serving one, as they also have a Wants For Sale program. They paint pictures of things they covet (from cooking lessons to Barack Obama), and charge the exact amount of the real item. Once it sells, they go out and spend the money on whatever the item was. Cool ideas.  Leave a Reply
