Yes We Can, share images

Thought I'd pass on a great election related art project. It's called "Design for Obama" and was created by two RISD students. It's a artist collaboration project which embraces grassroots organizing allowing designers to upload posters for others to download, print and distribute as they see fit. It was influenced by Shephard Fairey (also from RISD) and I think really captures the creative spirit that has flourished in this election cycle.

They also have a great list of other on- and off-line art projects going on around the election, including a fun one for the kiddies, Yes We Carve.

Enjoy!

“I am not an artist, and I never intended to be one...I hope I have made some good photographs, but what I really hope is that I have done some good photo stories with memorable images that make a point, and, perhaps, even make a difference.”

a little spring in your step

I don't have a garden, which is probably good since I don't have a green thumb. I've taken to buying fresh cut flowers for my small apartment a lot recently. Maybe, possibly, I'll move up to some kind of potted plant next.

In the meantime, I'll just keep reading interesting articles about other people's gardens.
