The BirdUP! Art Show opened last Saturday afternoon at the C.A.C.t.T.U.S. Art Gallery in Downtown Long Beach. During which the Long Beach Art Walk was taking place. You can see in the first collage that I got my photo taken with my birdhouse. 🙂 

🔷 

This is the first time my artwork has been on display in a public art gallery as part of a themed show! I was excited that I got to be a part of this, alongside many other amazing artists. Not to mention the gallery setup as a whole looks great with the birdhouses cleverly placed on telephone wires. 😊 

🔷 

If you haven't seen the show yet (and you live nearby) it's still up! It'll be on display until early September I believe, and the gallery is usually open in the afternoon. Again, it's really cool and I encourage you guys to go see it because it looks even better in person. 😊 🐦 ⬆️ 

Theme 4 on Friendship is complete! 😊 I like how this piece has a subliminal yin-yang quality to it; it was unintentional, but it works. 🔹⠀ Feel free to interpret this piece however you like. I have no idea what these two friends were laughing about, but I’d love to hear your take on it. Also, I did color the sky a light blue, but I think it got washed out in this photo… That’s something I’ll keep in mind for next time. I hope you enjoy! There’s more coming~

Net neutrality activists plan to educate millions of voters about candidate stances ahead of midterms

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 25, 2018 Contact: Evan Greer, 978-852-6457, press@fightforthefuture.org

Vote For Net Neutrality campaign will enlist the entire Internet to pressure lawmakers facing tight races to sign CRA discharge petition or face the consequences

Kicking off on National Voter Registration Day, one of the most prominent open Internet advocacy groups, Fight for the Future, has launched Vote For Net Neutrality, an explosive campaign that seeks to educate millions of people about where Senate and House candidates stand on restoring net neutrality ahead of the midterm elections, enlisting the entire Internet in the mission of pressuring incumbent lawmakers who are facing tight races to do the right thing or face the Internet’s wrath on election day. The campaign makes use of cutting edge mobile technology, including a chatbot flow that allows Internet users to register to vote, sign up for voting reminders, and find out where candidates in their area stand on net neutrality, all from their phones using SMS messages.

Participants will be encouraged to focus their collective energy to pressure sitting members of Congress in tight races who have failed to take action to restore net neutrality and are facing off against challengers who say they would do so were they elected. Local action teams in key districts are planning protests, lawn signs, and voter education at the polls. Internet users who don’t live in one of the priority districts will be encouraged to join a volunteer texting team to educate as many voters in those districts as possible about where the candidates stand before they head to the polls.

“Net neutrality is going to be an issue in the 2018 elections,” said Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight for the Future, “We’re harnessing the power of the Internet to educate voters on a mass scale and turn up the heat on sitting members of Congress to do the right thing or face the consequences in November. We’ll make sure that every sitting member of Congress knows that if they ignore their constituents on this issue and side with some of the most power hungry and unpopular corporations in the world, their constituents will know about their betrayal when they go to the polls.”

I spent waaaaay too much time on the background on this one. Who knew that drawing bookcases in perspective was going to be so much work? 😣 Hopefully it'll pay off when I ink it.
