Here is a video of my process while making a protest sign inspired by a post on the S.L.C. Reddit. The poster had created the original image in AI and while I appreciate the intention behind the post, I am virulently against the use of AI. I also happen to be an artist and graphic designer so what does one do when they have the skill to make their own? They stay up WAY past their bed time and create a version that would be more acceptable. (In my opinion.)

What happened on January 7th and 25th was horrifying and the narrative that the ghouls are spreading is abhorrent and completely expected at this point, which is frustrating. I like many others spent those afternoons crying and while i think it’s healthy to sit in righteous rage, there is also a point in which people need to take action. While I can’t do much to change what’s going on in the world right now, I can use my skills to create things that relieve some of the pain.
