In addition to touring and putting out a new album, Ringo 2012, the 71-year-old Ringo also has a flourishing electronic art collection, which evolved from doodles on his computer – and is now selling in galleries and as part of his tour. Sales benefit his charity, The Lotus Foundation, which funds, supports, participates in and promotes charitable projects aimed at advancing social welfare in diverse areas including substance abuse, cerebral palsy, brain tumors, cancer, battered women and their children, the homeless and animals in need.
