Too Many Years
This is a graphic I came up with today for a peace rally poster for the Palouse Peace Coalition. They are having a peace rally on March 25, the third anniversary of the beginning of the war in Iraq. I just started volunteering to do some posters for their events, and I'm pretty happy with my first poster idea. Hopefully they will be too. :) It's not exactly a Happy Anniversary though, and I hope there is no fourth anniversary next year. But it was nice to get to create a political graphic like this for a good cause. I think it would look quite nice on a t-shirt. I've been trying to come up with some graphics for t-shirts and other items lately so Sen & I can open a CafePress store online and make some extra cash while spreading good messages. This may just be our first t-shirt!
Other than working on this poster, I've been pretty busy working for PETA, mostly working on their punk-rock inspired youth site, peta2. I'm enjoying it, even though the 10-hour days are tough to get through sometimes. The three day weekends make up for it though. And at least I don't have to leave the house to go to work. I wonder how much pollution doesn't get spewed into the air simply because I don't have to commute to work... Now that would be interesting to know.
Speaking of pollution and cars, Seneca is looking for a diesel VW camper he can convert into a grease car. We want to run it on vegetable grease (and/or bio-diesel) and travel around this summer. Obviously it's cheaper (or free!) to get french fry grease from restaurants along the road than pay for gas, the emissions are much lower, and we wouldn't be supporting war or the oil industry. Yay! Unfortunately, diesel VWs camper buses are hard to find, but if you see an ad for one for sale, let me know! It seems odd that a grease-burnin' VW is my dream car, but right now, it is. :) Someday Subaru will make hybrid Outbacks, and then that will be my dream car, but until then... I gotta get a VW (V for veggie, of course)!
