I believe that art helps form perception of the world around us in ways that sometimes exceeds mere speech. This election has inspired many to create art to express just what is at stake with this election.
I am a pharmacist by training, and an artist by nature. My 23 year old daughter is the really talented one, and has graduated art school and is working for MTv as an on air designer and animator. She was so excited and proud to tell me that after her re-design of current on-air logos and graphics, INCLUDING CHOOSE OR LOOSE, she was given some exciting news.
Previous to her redesign, the most new voter registrations logged were 1,000 per week. In just the first two weeks AFTER her re-design, they got a whopping 200,000! She was so happy and proud that in her words "she really helped make a difference!". Of course I was even prouder! In the same frame of reference, she just IM'd me this street art link: I think it expresses just what I feel in a very elegant and artistic way! Hope you agree!
