Hollywood Charity Artist McKenzie's Inku Art revolutionizes the Fine Art Industry

noreply@blogger.com (McKenzie Art Studio) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 01:25:00 +0000

Artist McKenzie,
known as the "Hollywood Charity Artist" is quickly being renamed the
"Hollywood ECO Artist" for her newest passion; Inku Art.™

Artist McKenzie, an award-winning oil painter whose collectors are some of
Hollywood's elite, was stricken with a devastating environmental illness thought
by doctors to be triggered by years of exposure to toxic materials in the art
creating process. This sickness propelled her life-changing mission to discover
and create an innovative way to produce HEALTHY, EARTH SENSITIVE fine art and
fine art prints-- She calls it Inku Art.™

"This Hyper-Green art process is changing the way fine art
is made. It is sustainable, non-toxic, planet-friendly, and made with the
highest environmental value and standards available today. In fact, it is
SO safe that it is currently being used in hospitals, nurseries, and dwellings
everywhere where air quality is essential. It even meets LEED requirements
in numerous categories." says manager Steve Rice.

The process begins with McKenzie's painting on recycled substrate with
non-toxic pigments. These paints are VOC-free and are created using
earth-friendly methods. The painting is then scanned using wind-powered
facilities. The image is then printed on sugarcane or bamboo fine art
paper, using cutting edge, state-of-the-art technology. The frames are
made from compressed sawdust waste and the art is shipped in recycled
packaging. The entire process involves the most environmentally sensitive
products and businesses available. 100% of the profits from the art is donated
to environmental causes.

"Few people realize the true impact of the printing and paper pulp
industries on our health and our planet. Toxic chemicals are making their
way into the water, air and soil. The pulp and paper industry is one of
the largest and most polluting industries in the world; it is the third most
polluting industry in North America. The printing industry is just as polluting
coupled with toxic VOC's being released into the air and consequently our
lungs!," says gallery manager, Viv Smith.

Artist McKenzie's message is being heard loud and clear. Companies and
Individuals designing and renovating their buildings/ homes under the LEED
program are ecstatic with the new art and the company is being flooded with
orders. "Our building needed Art to make it come alive. Why would we
choose art that off-gasses toxic chemicals and contributes to the pollution on
our planet when there is an alternative? It was a no-brainer," says
Architect and Green Designer Albert Cook.

Inku Art.™ will soon be seen aboard the Green Train।.
"I am honored to be part of The Green Train। Their message promotes environmental awareness, education, and unity across America. The project will change our Planet in an awe inspiring way. Knowledge is power. " says Artist McKenzie.

McKenzie's paintings have been featured at charitable events with
celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Ellen Degeneres, George Clooney, Cameron Diaz,
Demi Moore, and many others.

The Green Train - a rockin' and rollin' trek across the nation that
will educate, entertain and change our world, one mile at a time!

Top-notch entertainers will be participating in a series of 30 live
“whistle-stop” performances along the cross country route. Celebrities,
environmentalists and sport figures will join in on the act either in person or
via satellite. Environmental organizations and groups will be providing factual
information, answering questions and providing solutions as the train travels
from rural communities to large cities.

Years in the making, the Green Train Project is the brainchild of Robert
Wolf, organizer of the mega-successful "We are the World"
simulcast held in 1985. When the train departs Portland in April, it will mark
the 25th anniversary of the simulcast.

The final destination for the Green Train will be Washington D.C. where a
show-stopping concert will take place. Wolf will be on hand asking all Americans
to unite by turning off the tap, switching off light bulbs and unplugging the
toaster. People will be able to see how much water and energy has been saved.
A European journey is also planned for 2011.

Eco Art to Save the Planet

First Ever Eco-Friendly Fine Art Prints that Raise Awareness and Funds for Green Causes

Laguna Beach, Ca
Award-winning Fine Artist McKenzie is often referred to as the
"Hollywood Charity Artist" for her tireless efforts to support causes
close to her heart using her paintings as a catalyst for change. McKenzie,
one of the top selling artists in the country, has sold thousands of fine art
prints of her masterful paintings. It wasn't until she was diagnosed with
a form of Lupus, thought to be brought on by contact with environmental toxins, that she began her passionate study of the 125 Billion dollar
Printing/Paper/Pulp Industries; which happen to be among the #1 and #3 polluters on the Planet.

"McKenzie's Doctor suspected that the solvents used in her oil
paintings, mixed media processes, and print-making could have triggered the medical condition," says Manager Steve Rice. "She formed a team of
experts, and together they created the first ever, start-to-finish, Eco-Friendly Art Print Series that raises funds for Environmental causes. 100% of the Profits are Donated!"

Artist McKenzie now creates her original paintings with proprietary solvent free paints on 100% natural canvas. The paintings are converted into fine
art prints on Bamboo Fine Art Paper using Eco-Friendly Inks and framed with Sustainable Wooden Frames.

"The best part is that I can have a gorgeous collectible piece of art on
my wall, and I know that making it did not hurt the environment, in fact, it
helped the environment by RAISING money for causes that protect the
environment. It is the coolest thing ever!" says long-time McKenzie
collector, Vienna Townsend.

Artist McKenzie is on a crusade to increase world-wide awareness of these
industries and their practices. "As with anything, knowledge is
power. If people understand the environmental damage being done they will pressure the industries into greening their practices," says the Artist.
"We are asking everyone to watch the video and pass it on to 2 or 3
friends।"

The video can be watched on http://revver.com/video/1093499/eco-friendly-art-to-save-the-planet/,
(Search "Artist McKenzie") and generates revenue for every view. 100%
of the revenue will also be donated to Green Causes. "I am passing the
video on to all of my friends. I am in college and I can't afford to buy
the art, or donate thousands to Green Causes...but I can spread the word by forwarding the video. I feel like I am doing something to make a
difference" says Jacob Wineman।

McKenzie's Fine Art Eco Prints are currently available in select Fine Art
Galleries, Green Online Stores, and www.EcoFyEstore.com

Green printing helps preserve forests and forest habitats.

A forest area the size of 20 football fields is lost every minute to paper
production. (envirofacts.com)
The Environmental Defense Fund estimates that 90 percent of the printing
and writing paper in the United States is produced from virgin wood pulp.
Producing 2,000 pounds (one ton) of virgin uncoated paper requires 6,000
pounds of wood.
Producing a ton of paper using 100% post-consumer copy paper rather than
virgin pulp saves the equivalent of 24 trees (forty feet in height and 6-8
inches in diameter). (conservatree.org)
42% of all the wood harvested for industrial purposes in the world goes to
making paper. (woodwise.org)
The magazine industry harvests more than 30 million trees every year for
paper. That's more than one tree every second. (woodwise.org)
More than 70% of the paper in the world is made from wood taken from
forests in regions with ecologically valuable, biologically diverse habitat.
(woodwise.org)
Tree plantations are home to about 90% fewer species than the forests that
preceded them. (woodwise.org)

Eco-friendly printing helps keep toxic chemicals out of our
environment and generates far fewer greenhouse gasses compared to conventional
printing.

The printing industry is the single largest polluter in the world. It is
also the third largest consumer of fossil fuels, after the automobile and
steel-manufacturing industries.
The pulp and paper industry is the third largest industrial contributor to
greenhouse gas emissions, after the chemical and steel industries, in the 30
nations of the OECD, of which the US is a member. (woodwise.org)
Producing a ton of paper using 100% post-consumer copy paper rather than
virgin pulp saves 4,100-kilowatt hours of electricity and 60 pounds of air
pollution. (Californians Against Waste)

Printing green requires much less water than conventional printing.

Producing a ton of virgin uncoated paper requires 19,075 gallons of water.
(Environmental Defense Fund)
Producing a ton of paper using 100% post-consumer copy paper rather than
virgin pulp saves 7,000 gallons of water. (Californians Against Waste)
The pulp and paper industry is the largest industrial consumer of water
among OECD nations. (woodwise.org)
Printers use trillions of gallons of water, which then has to be treated
because of its toxicity.Green printing reduces the amount of solid waste
going into landfills.
Producing 2,000 pounds of virgin uncoated paper generates 2,278 pounds of
solid waste. In other words, conventional paper production creates more
waste than paper. (Environmental Defense Fund)
The use of adhesives and foils in some conventional papers renders the
final product un-recyclable. Millions of un-recyclable paper products are
manufactured every day, all destined to wind up in landfills.

10 Ways to Save the Planet and Your Health

noreply@blogger.com (McKenzie Art Studio) — Wed, 23 May 2007 17:28:00 +0000

At the McKenzie Art Studio Gallery we try to follow these wonderful tips:

1. Eat organic. Pesticides, herbicides, etc. poison the soil, water, air and your body. They are linked to contributing to serious health problems including cancer, depression and central nervous system disorders.

2. Use non-toxic and natural household cleaning products. Most everyday cleaning products are very harmful to your health. Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemon and vinegar are great alternatives and can be used for just about anything.

3. Wear only natural clothing fibers and organic clothes if possible. Synthetic fibers and non-organics are treated with high levels of formaldehyde and even petroleum. About $3 Billion is spent on pesticides for cotton fields each year worldwide, with over 600,000 tons of pesticides and chemical fertilizers on the US cotton fields alone.

4. Throw away your perfume and cologne. They contain chemicals contributing to asthma, central nervous disorders, immune dysfunction and a variety of other health problems.

5. Use natural unscented laundry soap and fabric softener. They also contain chemicals contributing to asthma, central nervous disorders, immune dysfunction etc.

6. Use non-toxic alternatives for pest control. Pesticides are poison; designed originally for chemical warfare because they are so effective for poisoning. As mentioned above they are linked to a variety of serious health problems including cancer, immune suppression and central nervous disorders.

7. Don’t use air fresheners. Just like cologne and laundry products they contain chemicals that contribute to immune dysfunction and central nervous disorders.

8. Don’t get new carpet. New carpet is high in formaldehyde, benzene and a variety of other chemicals that can really destroy your health. Hardwood and ceramic tile are good healthy alternatives.

9. Use non-toxic and all natural personal health care products. Shampoos, make up, body soap, deodorant, feminine napkins, tampons etc. usually contain many of the same harmful chemicals mentioned above in colognes and laundry.

10. Don’t use bleach or chlorinated household products such as paper towels, toilet paper, coffee filters etc. Scientific studies have linked chlorine and chlorination by-products to cancer of the bladder, liver, rectum and colon, as well as heart disease, artheroscelrosis, anemia, high blood pressure and allergic reactions. Bleach alternatives and unbleached products can be found at your local health food store.

**And don’t forget to recycle to help save resources and reduce space in landfills and buy recycled products as often as possible to encourage recycling.

10 things about Global Cool

noreply@blogger.com (McKenzie Art Studio) — Thu, 03 May 2007 02:23:00 +0000

10 things about Global Cool
1) Global Cool is here to save a planet because we haven't got anything better to do.
2) Global Cool belongs to Dan Morrell, Dr Richard Tipper, Orlando Bloom, Ana Matronic, Brandon Flowers, Sienna Miller, 11-year old Isabella Ramchandani and anyone and everyone else who wants to be part of it.
3) Global Cool is called Global Cool because Global Cool is the answer to global warming and an answer sure is needed.
4) Global Cool is backed by some of the biggest names in entertainment and by some of the biggest brains in environmental science including Steve Howard and Dr Richard Tipper, both of whom have so many letters after their names that we do not have the space to include them.
5) By showing you how to Be Cool, Global Cool helps you do all the things you can do to save a planet। By allowing you to donate a Tonne of Cool, Global Cool helps you do the things you couldn't otherwise do to save a planet.

6) Global Cool is here to help anyone who cares about the planet to do their bit to save the planet they care about.
7) Global Cool is based in London and Los Angeles and is interested in expanding to any other major city in the world beginning with an L.
8) Global Cool is going to bring entertainment to the environment. It's going to put on shows and make programmes and send you playful texts and generally sing to you and tell you stories and tease you until you care.
9) "Global Cool will help wake up the world about the important issue of Global Warming." He's a switched-on man that Leonardo DiCaprio.
10) Two things etched on the walls of Global Cool। If we all leave everything up to everyone else, nothing happens। If we each do a bit, we can all do a lot.

Top 10 Ways to Save Money and the Environment

Here are 10 ways you and your family can help our planet, and lower your water, heating and electricity bills:

1. Light Up Your Life EfficientlyKeep your curtains open during the day to let the sunshine and warmth in and save heating costs. Switch from incandescent light bulbs to energy efficient ones, such as Compact Florescent Lights (CFL), which provide lower wattages, last longer and use less energy. Your eyes will light up once you see the savings on your electricity bill.
2. Rubber Ducky, Maybe You’re Not the OneLimit your hot baths and lengthy showers. Install low-flow plumbing in your home, such as a low-flow showerhead. Almost half the hot water used in a typical household goes to daily showers. Install a timer on your hot water heater to coincide with peek usage and buy an insulating cover for it. Best of all, these items can be easily found at your local hardware store.
3. Energy Efficient Appliances — Out with the Old, in with the NewHousehold appliances that have the ENERGY STAR® rating will save energy. Consider buying a front-loading high efficiency washing machine, which uses less water and energy than top-loading models. The front-loading washing machines may cost more, but the energy savings you’ll reap from using an energy efficient washer add up. The spin cycles on these machines work so well that your clothes will spend less time in the dryer, saving you even more energy. Get rid of that old clunky fridge (yes, the one in your basement) and replace it with a new, energy efficient one. Old fridges are notorious for using excess electricity and inflating your bill.
4. Don’t Huff, Puff or Blow Your House Down — Just InsulateMake sure your floors, walls and roof are properly insulated, which will reduce heat loss in winter and retain cooler air in summer. If your roof is flat, plant a green roof and be the envy of all your neighbours. As for windows and doors, seal the tiny cracks and gaps with caulking and weather-stripping to keep out drafts and keep the temperature in your house constant.
5. Add a Layer, Subtract a Degree A programmable thermostat (with an ENERGY STAR® rating) will save energy and money. Set it to turn down two degrees in the winter while you’re sleeping, and pre-program it to come back to a comfortable temperature before you wake up. Do the same for when you’re away at work. You’ll save 1% on your electricity bill for every degree it’s set back over an eight-hour period. If you have central air conditioning, you can do the same in the summer, only set the thermostat to turn up two degrees when you're sleeping and away from the house. It's a small difference you won't notice except in your bank account!
6. E-Waste No MoreWhen sent to landfills, the heavy metals in computers can leach into the soil and potentially contaminate our groundwater. We can prevent this by recycling and/or donating our e-waste. Want to recycle? Find a company like Reboot or the Electronic Recycling Association in your neighbourhood. These not-for-profits accept computers and refurbish them for groups in need. Buying a new computer? Some companies, like Dell Canada, offer free recycling when you purchase a new computer.

7. Save Energy by Replacing Your Furnace FilterWhen your furnace filter is dirty, it reduces the airflow and forces the furnace to run longer to heat your home. A dirty filter can cause more suffering for people with allergies, asthma respiratory problems. Replace your furnace filter every one to two months to increase its efficiency.
8. A Watched Pot Never Boils (and Other Dinner Tips) Maybe a watched pot never boils but whether you watch yours or not, keep a lid on it - your pot will heat quicker and you’ll use less energy. Try not to open the oven door while cooking your dinner, either. The temperature will drop and your oven will begin to reheat. Use small appliances whenever possible, such as crock pots and toaster ovens. Better yet, invest in a solar oven.
9. Home Décor Fit for an EnvironmentalistIf you’re renovating, consider buying fast-growing bamboo, sustainably harvested cork or reclaimed wood flooring. And if you need to replace your carpet, or re-upholster your favourite chair, shop around for vegetable-dyed carpets and fabrics. Need new bedding? Organic cottons and linens will help reduce those morning sniffles and you’ll love how they feel against your skin.
10. Green Energy for a Green PlanetSwitch to a supplier who uses non-polluting, renewable sources such as wind power and low-impact hydro facilities, instead of coal and nuclear power. It’s easy to sign up, and it doesn’t require any special equipment. You continue to draw power from your province’s electricity grid in the same way as before, except you’ll help combat green-house gas emissions. Check the Yellow Pages in your province to find a supplier near you.
