A pair of eyes, and other lines indicating parts of a face. Thick eyebrows, but all in the wrong places and order. Purple on a light blue textured background.

EXT. LOWER MIDDLE CLASS ILLINOIS HOME - DUSK Kate’s van pulls away as snow falls. She goes up to the front door of a modest home and knocks. Her MOM AND DAD, mid 50s and clearly traumatized by all of this, open the door. KATE (breaks down in tears) Mom... Dad... I’m so glad to be home... But they don’t open the door. KATE (CONT'D) Open the door... DAD No politics. None. KATE What are you talking about? MOM Your Dad and I are for the jobs the comet will provide. DAD The divisions in this country is bad enough. We don’t want more of it in our house.

Was recently reminded of a #poster I drafted up years ago taken directly from some #WPA designs and colors and a Chomsky quote around that time.

Red, White, and Blue text. "CONSTANT PRESSURE, CONSTANT ACTIVISM" with a cartoon silhouette of people carrying a sign that reads "US" at the bottom (drawn from a WPA poster).

Hastily done ― I feel like now is a good time for posters.

Badly modified version of a public domain WPA poster of a worker fighting off an attack from a wolf with "RUMOR" written on it. The shovel originally read "WPA" but now reads "CFPB"

Found it. Turns out it was a just-barely pre-pandemic tweet.

Did some doodling today to distract myself from reality a bit. Whiteboard & Inkscape. It'll end up in something.
A white page with some vectorized drawings in #inkscape of a bird with crazy eyes, an owl, a bee, and some rough layout options in mostly black.
