This experiment within public domain resources is now achieved (December 2021), I won't be posting any more new material.

I regularly update the information under the photos, the last one was in April 2026. This graphic diary will stay accessible as long as possible. Born in 1968, I believe I am representative of what you call Generation X. I come from a middle-class, liberal/conservative background. I am dyslexic. I should clarify that I am also a Christian, considering it is virtually impossible to escape certain frameworks of thought, values, or moral reflexes, which are instilled in you with religion when you are a child. I think I've still retained some of my critical abilities.

I first opened this account to display and promote my personal artwork as an illustrator in chronological order. Today, most of the "bricolages" are available via Creative Commons licensing to provide quality images for online resources.

The drawings on display span more than thirty years of work (1989–2021). This may be useful for someone looking to learn about the evolution of graphic design over that time. I always questioned consumerism, but I deeply believed in globalization, United Colors of Benetton® style. With age, I became more tolerant of religion. I dropped some of the most substantial of my commissioned jobs, a large part is still under copyright. Whenever I find them, I include links utilizing my illustrations. I do not support the information found through those links. It's passive posting: I never get in contact or interfere with people using the public domain work I produced. As of 2020, nearly all the images left on Wikimedia have been removed for different reasons, among them unwanted self-promotion, irrelevant personal artwork, or copyright violation. I've also been accused of license laundering, aka Flickr washing. The Battle of Copyright illustration has almost disappeared from the web since its peak utilization in March 2017, thanks to Google’s ‘Project Owl.' I exceptionally contacted the scholars, journalists, and institutions that had used this design in the past to inform them of the situation. In 2021 copyright doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.

Fighting against the privatization of knowledge is probably the most important battle for humanity's future. It's an invisible and silent war, but one that also claims real victims; Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) was one of them.

Should access to information be a commodity to be sold and controlled by copyright holders, or is it a civil right for all citizens?

I believe a new moral duty is on its way, and it will change the world as we know it. We can't repay those who came before us for everything we have taken from them, so we carry an ethical obligation to pass our shared knowledge freely to the next generation. If the battle of copyright was lost, the war over intellectual property is still ongoing.
