On Tuesday August 28, actor-comedian Jim Carey, 45, made a public service announcement for the U.S. Campaign for Burma.
Carey starts off the video, posted directly to YouTube, saying, “I want to tell you about a hero of mine. Her name is Aung San Suu Kyi. She’s a champion of human rights and decency in Asia… She’s also the worlds only imprisoned nobel prize recipient.”
Aung San has been under house-arrest in Yangon for 11 years. The civil-rights activist received the Nobel Prize in 1991 for nonviolent efforts to thwart the oppressive regime of Burma.

Andrew Morawski is one of Canada’s most innovative and cutting edge artists specializing in metal art sculpture and painting. Andy is inspired by the beauty of nature as can be seen in his creations of animals such as bears, wolves, butterflies and blue herons…. and more that has or is in the process of being made that are not on this site yet.
The sky is the limit on what he can do.
Here are some of his achievements.
-In Sept/2007 he’s been nominated for the “premiers award”
-Canadian Metalworking Magazine January/February 2007
-”People’s Choice” award winner at the 2006 Junction Art Festival!
-Toronto Mayor Dave Miller congratulated Morawski for his artistic talent
-Luke Hendry of Belleville Intelligence newspaper did an article on Morawski on January 21 2006
-Lincoln Electrical used Morawski’s Spirit Bear in one of their ads.
Andy Morawski’s earliest memories in life were centered around art. He can remember drawing birds with pastels when he was 4 years of age.
He was born in Quebec on June 9th, 1962 and grew up in small Laurentien village of Morin Heights. This move proved to be a very artistic eye opener for Andy as his neighbour was Edwin Holgate (8th member of the group of seven). Holgate became a mentor, friend and inspiration to Andy and later in 1983 he received a fine arts degree from St.Lawrence College in Kingston Ontario.
Once he received his degree, Andy immediately traveled to Spain and earned a living painting murals in pubs and bars. It was in Spain that he met Gomez Montoya who was an apprentice of Pablo Picasso. Andy became Gomez’s apprentice for 2 years and this apprenticeship resulted in much intensive painting around Menorca, Spain.
Andy then returned to Canada where he has been a professional artist since
2000.
