Created for Vivid Imagination's Graffiti & Street Art challenge.
Sometimes I have no idea where an image is going until it gets there. In this case, the opposite was true.
Last year I went to a panel discussion on graffiti and street art. The panelists included a street artist, a gallery owner, a museum curator, and an arts writer. At the time it struck me as ironic that this renegade -- even anti-social -- art form is now subject matter for museums and art galleries.
On the one hand, I think it's great that these outsider artists are getting some well-deserved recognition -- even to the point of receiving commissions to create their work. On the other, I can't help but be struck by the fact that some of the same people now lauded by the art establishment have shown so little respect for others' property in the past. But I guess this is just another example of a familiar pattern: yesterday's outlaws become today's heroes.
In yet another irony, graffiti -- which property owners regularly paint over -- is now preserved on the pristine white walls of the contemporary art gallery -- often referred to (not always with admiration) as "the white cube": "Unshadowed, white, clean, artificial, the space is devoted to the technology of esthetics. Works of art are mounted, hung, scattered for study. Their ungrubby surfaces are untouched by time and its vicissitudes." (Brian O'Doherty, Inside the White Cube: Notes on the Gallery Space)

I "created" this last week using Photoleap A.I. , but hesitated to post it. The intended reference was "The Apprentice", a TV show that helped made Trump "famous". Then on Easter morning I saw the obscene and threatening post that he made on social media and decided that this image is very appropriate. His action wasNOT that of a normal national leader.
When my aging mother started having dementia problems I attended a workshop related to her condition. There I learned that one of the signs of dementia was the use of inappropriate language.Trump's Easter outburst on social media was NOT a sign of a crass person. It was a sign that the 25th Amendment needs to be invoked due to his mental unfitness to hold his elected position. A number of national leaders have bluntly said the same.
We need to resolve this issue before the nation and the world experiences even worse than the present disruptions. We need to do it NOW.

This is a close-up of the acrylic welcome sign. It says "welcome" in gold, and is surrounded by white and burgundy tulip wedding flowers. It's very romantic. The welcome sign is placed on a wooden easel. The welcome sign is blank, so that guests can sign it as a keepsake. There are floating candles around it.
