DBH Global Artists continues this week with featured artists from the country of Indonesia. Many of these artists are well known in the DBH community and have have won many of our previous "Shirt Of The Day" Contests with their stunning artwork.
Indonesia is located in Asia and has a population of about 237 million people - making it the 4th largest country in the world. This beautiful country is made up of about 17,500 islands, but only 6,000 of these islands are inhabited by people. Because so many different cultures and religions reside on these many islands, Indonesia has become rich in culture, traditions and beliefs (and over 700 languages are spoken here). Indonesia also has the 2nd highest number of endemic species, meaning these plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world. These animals include the Sumatran Tiger and the Komodo Dragon, to name a few.
