I blog around the outskirts of Portland Oregon. I was inspired to start up by seeing your work, that and the fact that I'm so pissed at what's happening to my country I can hardly see straight.
I pretty much use the technique described in your how-to video except I use a digital projector instead of an overhead, which makes it easy to resize and transfer graphics. Whatever's on my laptop I can trace onto cardboard... and I can make it HUGE. I do a lot of small signs too:(see attached) and while they're not as impressive visually, they do stay up a lot longer. Whatever gets the message out...
Whenever I head out to blog I think about that little girl covered in her family's blood, crying by flashlight, her parents murdered by mistake at a US checkpoint in Iraq. I think about Abu-Ghraib and all the others who've been tortured. All the others who will be tortured. I think about my nephew in Baghdad.I was a little nervous about this at first, but when I think about what's at stake, having to face the cops or the wingnuts over my blogging doesn't seem like such a big deal. (As if they could ever catch me...) Thanks again for the inspiration man... if nothing else at least I don't feel so damn helpless in all of this. Even so, I still feel like I'm not doing enough, that I can do more.
We all can.
