Not mine, but from a talented maker in OREGON! #ARTOFTHEPROTEST
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST this person built this whole rig, which included a harness to support the weight of the sign. They were going for a pub sign aesthetic and also wanted to reuse other protest signs they had. Impressive and thrifty!
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST ok, this is a literary DEEP CUT and probably my favorite. This person is referencing Shelley's 1918 poem Ozymandias. The point of that poem is that all power is temporary, no matter how crazy and authoritarian the ruler is. TRULY, I AM SHOOKETH!
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST 'nuff said - sometimes simple and direct is the best!
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST on this one, this person's kid helped (note the handprints) and they used acrylics. I have to say, I enjoy the protest umbrellas, and it doubles as sun protection!
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST I believe this maker admitted to using some watercolor - very nice blending and lettering. Good colors!
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST I like the lettering on this one - it's actually fabric that they glued on there.
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST so this is a shirt, and I can't remember if the person said they printed it themselves, but I like that it calls attn to the fact that those dummies are trying to sell our nat'l park/forest land. That's crazy.
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST ok so I learned today that "TACO" means "Trump Always Chickens Out." Nice design on this one.
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST I just really like this one because it rhymes, it's true, and I hadn't heard it before.
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST this person HAND DREW their sign using acrylic markers. Very talented!
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST the maker of this one said they used ChatGPT for some of it (although the program didn't want to do "the political part" at first) and then finished in Photoshop. Super fun!
#NOKINGS #ARTOFTHEPROTEST so this one is a guillotine that this person handmade. Rad.
Get out there if you are able to…
