The Tallest Man on Earth is no stranger to the Eleventy Million Dollar Blog.  Some time ago, I featured an animated video featuring the music of Swedish folksinger/songwriter Kristian Matsson.  At the time, I didn’t know that he was the Tallest Man on Earth, I thought it was this guy.

THIS IS A WHITE LINE OF TEXT THAT IS MEANINGLESS
Matsson wrote the theme song (“A Field Full of Birds”) for the Yellow Bird Project , but since then, I have found several songs that grab me by the collar and kick me in the throat whistle.  Those songs are “I Won’t Be Found,” “The Wild Hunt” and “Honey Won’t You Let Me In.”

…and in case you missed it, below is the video for the Yellow Bird Project.

I have always been a fan of animation, especially of the stop-motion variety.
This short animated film was made for the Yellow Bird Project by a man named Jonathan Lindley.
The film features the YBP theme song, “A Field Full of Birds,” by Swedish folk singer/songwriter Kristian Matsson.

I am a lover of good music, good art and good t-shirts.  I also am a fan of good people doing good things to help or assist others.
With that being said, I came across an organization that blends all of those things together.  It is called the Yellow Bird Project — cool name, even cooler group of artists and philanthropists.

They describe themselves as:
“… a tree of creativity, with branches joining together indie musicians, charitable organizations, and t-shirts with a fashionable punch.  We’re a non-profit Montreal based organization dedicated to bringing our customers the finest of quality, originality, and philanthropy. We seek out only the coolest of cool artists, collaborate with them to design awesomely awesome tee-shirts, and give all the prettiest of pretty profits to charities of the artists’ choice.”

I think by their own description you can tell that they are pretty cool organization.  Check them out — my Devendra Banhart shirt (which will help fund the Teenage Cancer Trust) is on its way right now.

I have also added their banner to my blog (on the right sidebar) for quick and easy linkage.
