I'm an artist first and a political blogger second. Sometimes, especially in the past eight years (youknowwhy) I've had to put my art second, behind my activism, which I don't like to do. Other times having art-making as an expressive outlet has probably kept my head from exploding. Like you poll wonks, and policy writers I'm using my personal skills to help win our country back. Art is a less represented method of activism here on DailyKos but there are many artists among our community.
I'd like to share with you the first in a series of sculptures I've been working on since 2003. The actual artwork will be on exhibit in October (near one of the nation's largest Marine bases) but since most of you won't be able to get to Joshua Tree, CA to see it, I'm sharing it online now. I'm hoping it will help change votes, minds, hearts, and inspire progressive action and CHANGE/HOPE/PROGRESS!
