I hope this works if not google coolhunting.com/culture/papergirl.php
or papergirl berlin, because that is actually where the idea began !

Papergirl Inspires Me to do Good

So in looking for something on line i came across this website and am thrilled to say i got me thinking of something that i could do that didn't just mimic Papergirl but had a charity angle to it as well.

Papergirl operates in a growing number of cities and gives away artwork.

Around Valentine's day i was in a Goodwill looking for ( yes still looking for the ABC murder books, see previous posts ) and i ended up in the T shirt aisle thinking look at all these hundreds of t shirts, so many logo's , so many " work related" give aways. In Los Angeles it seems like the number of t shirts made for any given movie must be exponential to the profit margin. Long story short it just stayed with me, so many people need free shirts but they can't actually get in the stores to get them.
That was when the Papergirl idea and the Brand You project came together !
I'm pledging to buy at least 100 t shirts in May, wash them, Tag them ( Nick o's coming up with the logo for our project)

We are going to make the act of giving the art ! ( and we want the emphasis to be on the person not the Logo's )

Our manifesto is " Not the Logo, You !)

so stay tuned for more Visuals as i get ready for my first May delivery !
