WORLD ANIMAL AWARENESS SOCIETY is in the Gulf of Mexico...
To Document Humanity And Help Save Lives In The Aftermath Of The Deepwater Horizon Catastrophe

July, 2010 - Gulf Coast, USA -- A heavily oiled bird clings to a boom. A dead dolphin washes ashore. Further out, rusty globs ooze toward a living shore... The images are bleak but familiar, in the oil polluted states surrounding the Gulf of Mexico. All this as the gusher has been quelled. The task now at hand? To resolve this cataclysmic event – and it's unimaginable.



Please join Tom McPhee and Peter & Mary Max for the ALL EYES ON THE GULF fundraiser to benefit the important work by World Animal Awareness Society - WA2S.org in the Gulf.  Meet us on August 19, 2010 at the Peter Max Gallery in NYC.
