New poster based on a Canadian poster

Tight Type from the late 80s and early 90s

Some of the work I did back in the day:

First Draft

Flyer for the anniversary of the war in Afghanistan

Great Resource

Look for the Union Label: A Celebration of Union Logos and Emblems



Hat tip to John at Social Design Notes

Half sheet flyer with all the bands in place

Just for Fun

New Poster

This one took a lot of work, in part because I'm not a good artist. I'm a good assembler. Making the truck image was not an easy task. It started out looking like a really bad cartoon. I think I managed to avoid that and to make it a big more abstract. You'll let me know if I failed, I'm sure.

Work Party

Tonight a bunch of us got together at Mayday Books to put together the posters we will pass out at tomorrow's protest against the foreclosure auction. I received the highest of praise in leftyland when Mickey told me my signs looked even better than Worker's World signs. Wow!

We re-engineered about 50 old signs from the anti-RNC rallies and stapled out new signs onto them. I sarcastically stated that with 56 signs, we probably would have twice as many signs as protesters tomorrow. I hope I am proved wrong on that.

Perspective

From Pros before Hos:

Anti-RNC flyer update #3

This is close to the last version, I believe. Endorsers were added, the phone number and website went up in size, added Monday to the date, moved stuff around quite a bit. Print!

Going to AMC

Why is it that I have to work three hours of overtime in order to get ready a few days off? Yikes!

Anyway, I'm headed off to Detroit for the Allied Media Conference this weekend. I've never been before and I have no idea what to expect, except that I look forward to meeting some folks I've been reading on the internets. Brownfemipower, Black Amazon, Little Light, Miss Crip Chick Lex, Mamita Mala, tigera consciente will all be there. An embarrassment of riches if you ask me.

I'm going to do my best to sit, listen, learn, absorb, and try to comprehend. One thing about an old gal like me is how hard it is to sit and listen for hours on end. I know I did this when I was in school for many years. But I've lost the talent. I need to rest and let stuff settle in or it will just bounce right off my hard shell of a brain.

Going to Detroit is almost like going home. I spent much time on my Grandmother's farm growing up on 37 Mile Road north.

I hope to give a decent report when I return. Wish me luck!

Sticker idea

The Republicans are coming this fall, and this idea has been kicking through my head. Tell me what you think. Make suggestions to change it. Use it if you want it!

Animal Crossbreeds

Worth 1000 Words challenges guests to create photoshop montages. I particularly admire Animal Crossbreeds. These artists had to get the proportions, textures and colors just right. Nice job folks!

Typographic Art

Lovely images and brilliant use of type at the website for Jeremy Pettis. I chose to display "Fruitbat" because my dearest cat of all time was named Fruitbat. Sweet!

Hey Belledame, he's even got an emu for you!
