Currently, unknown to most deviants, there is a "faction" forming and beginning to grow in numbers. This "faction" is called RyansArmy.
What is RyansArmy?
Before you go up in arms and prepare to defeat this "faction", let me explain...
This is a group of some pretty spectacular deviants (not saying I am myself, but I suppose you might take it that way) who are donating to this cause.
It was formed to help save a life of a beautiful child who has already undergone so much. Basically, its like this...his treatments to reduce his tumor will cause him to have leukemia later on in life, if he can't get to the states for proper treatments. So far, they have only raised $55 to get to the states.
It does not take a genius to know that it is going to take far more than that to help save Ryan's life.
Taken from the journal at
[link]:
"Ryan Christopher Brumpton is One Year old. For most of his life he has been on Chemotherapy as he has a rare brain tumor which was diagnosed at three months old. Ryan's prognosis is somewhat unclear as the doctors have only treated one other patient with tumor similarity which was almost ten years ago."

How can I help Ryan?
You can purchase prints that are being donated for the cause!
All print profits from *MY* account, =rainbowkittyfuk, from December of 2007 until May 1, 2008 will be donated via paypal to RyansArmy@bigpond.com.
A few thumbs from me,
I am currently watermarking all my previous works and adding my signature to ease my mind. When I re-upload them, I will enable the print feature again. My apologies to my friends who might be seeing the same prints all over again, its to show that the print is available to order.

A beautiful donated print from
A beautiful fractal will be donated soon from my boyfriend, ~MontyZ24 once I allow him back to the computer so he can finish it for print. (I will, I promise, he was too tired when he got home from work yesterday to do it)
And *trashydragon has informed me she knows of several more people donating prints to this cause.
Is there a timeline?
Actually, there kinda is, Ryan needs to get to the states before April to get the treatment he needs. We have all the time in the world to wait for our profit checks from dA, but he doesn't. This is why I am choosing to donate profits directly from my paypal account.
I cannot afford to buy a print, is there something else I can do?
Well, heck...I know what thats like...which is why I donated all proceeds from sales of prints on my account for a set amount of time. You could also donate a print or series of prints for the cause. You could even make a direct paypal donation to RyansArmy@bigpond.com. Let's think about this..every CENT counts and if you can spare it, why not?
You can sport the stamps in your journal!
Where do I find the stamps?
BOOYAH! Here you go!
Anything else?
Of course! You can spread the word to other friends, family, etc. I told my dentist and all the assistants at my last dental visit. They have money and pretend to like art there, so why not, right? Spam your myspace bulletins, I did right before I closed all my myspace accounts. You might still have yours and can do so. Help us get the word out to save a life!
RyansArmy is also holding a contest to generate interest in this cause, check it out on the journal!
What about [insert your other excuse here]?
Note me, bet I can demolish it in a heartbeat.

One chooses to braid for Ugandan children, that is quite commendable and I wish the best for them and the success of their cause.
It would be pretty awful and hypocritical of me to downgrade any other cause, just because I feel this one is the most I can help at this time. People should offer support instead of discouraging new efforts for new causes. It's rather sad to see a community we so often see band together over causes that already have awareness marketing in place all over the world and miss the little ones that have no awareness.

Exactly my point, its okay for us to all sport aids awareness avatars and do deviations and use several mediums to support already known charities, but not this. Im not saying he is any more important, just surely at least equally. i could go on...i am supposed to be asleep. I am just upset, i said as much to the person who locked the site..ive seen people being bullied in there, doesnt that go against policy...it seems the rules only matter when they choose..anyway, im distracted from the point. You can hide this comment after reading if you want, sorry to rant..
