CrankyYellow is an organization that builds its financial basis on the selling of art, music, and literature. However, as most companies and organizations stop at the bottom-line CrankyYellow uses this black-ink to fulfill community and political endeavors that it supports. We are not, we will never be money-grubbing penny-pinchers looking to fill our wallets. We want food, clothing, shelter, and a few video-games and dvds here and there; otherwise what we want the most is to enrich the community around us (Currently St. Louis) as well as the world as a whole.

We are people, CrankyYellow is made up of real human beings, and as such we want to keep our human face clearly visible. We blog, we chat, we post our ideas in our forum, we want people to know who we are, personally, and what we are about. As such, CrankyYellow is not protected by an army of lawyers, politicians, sycophants, spin-doctors, or public-relations experts. We are not guarded by a mouse, a clown, a rabbit, a symbol, or a catchy slogan, we are who we are and we are not afraid to show it.

Not only that, we want to know more about other people, who they are and what they want. We want to help them, we want to help you. We will protest with you, grow trees with you, eat and cook with you, drawn and paint with you, we’ll sing, we’ll dance, we’ll work, we’ll play together; that is what we want. CrankyYellow is an organization that wants to be a part of the community, an integral and helpful slice of a delicious people-pie (without the cannibalistic overtones).

We have so many dreams, so many goals (as many as there are members) and these will grow as more of you sign-up. You can be an artist or activist, employee or volunteer, forum-member or blogger, customer or philanthropist; it will make no difference to us!
