Any artist's profit will go to Ukraine relief efforts.

Word Balloons read, "Mishka! Why did you scratch me?" and "I'm just trying to murder our neighbor ..."
As Putti-Puff stabs the Ukraine colors, Russia's colors seem to be behind him. But Mishka the friendly Russian bear appears to have clawed Putti-Puff's arm, causing him to bleed.
This apparently comes as a great surprise to Putti-Puff.
In America the news reports that Putti-Puff's popularity has risen as 80% of Russians rush to his conquest of Ukraine. That's why the Russian colors are behind him.
Paradoxically, Russian dissenters claim that "90%" of Russians are opposed to this war. That's why Mishka has clawed Putti-Puff.
I'm in no position to know. US intelligence gives more credibility to the 80% number.
At first, I was very dubious of claims that Russian soldiers were engaging in genocide in the Ukraine. The Ukrainians have motive to lie, and the statistics didn't this. Now, I'm not confident that this charge isn't real. The numbers of civilians killed, not just by stray fire, but bound and executed, with signs often of torture are multiplying and many of these have been witnessed by independent journalists and government figures that include Republicans critical of the current US government.
This may be "war crimes" on a major scale, but I must leave "genocide" to later investigations. I must also point out that there are also credible charges of "war crimes" against Russian POWs.
Whether these charges are real, or wartime propaganda is important because mounting charges against Russian soldiers are fueling angry reactions in The West, and news of broad Russian are making the whole situation much worse.
Choice for the Ukrainians has been taken away. But I encourage Russians to speak out where you can for the de-escalation of this conflict, regardless of whether you think it is justified or not.

Edwin Loftus is an American painter and draftsman born in 1951. His interest in art began at the age of 4 when he decided to draw something real rather than working from his imagination. 

As a child he excelled at drawing and as a teenager he began to experiment with oil painting. In college, he took courses in art and art history and realized that true art had nothing to do with the quality of the drawing or painting, but that it had to have the ambition to push the boundaries and expand the visual experience. 

He also studied philosophy, psychology and history and quickly realized that it was just another art establishment trying to defend its elitist industry and reward system. Their skills were almost non-existent, they knew nothing about psychology, perception or stimulus response, and they were extensions of the belief system that made communism, fascism and other forms of totalitarianism such destructive forces in the world. They literally believe that art shouldn't be available to ordinary human beings, but only to an elite "sophisticated" enough to understand it. 

Edwin Loftus realized that the emperors of art had no clothes, but they were still the emperors. Gifted in art, he worked hard to acquire this skill. So he found other ways to make a living and sold a few artworks from time to time. For sixty years, many people enjoyed his works and some collected them. 

Today, Edwin Loftus is retired. Even if he sold all his paintings for the price he asked, "artist" would be the lowest paid job he ever had... but that's the way it is.  It won't matter to him after he dies. He just hopes that some people will like what he does enough to enjoy it in the future.
