10 THINGS U SHOULD KNOW

10 THINGS U SHOULD KNOW - cypher13

25.08.08

Getting our piece down to Andenken for the Manifest Hope Gallery exhibit, was quite possibly more difficult than designing and constructing it. Somehow, through a great deal of planning and much energy expended it arrived safely. The concept behind the piece was to present the first ten amendments, more commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights, in a new and contemporary manner. While it is a bit of a hulking monster, we really felt that provoking interactivity was the key to awakening a general lack of awareness. An awareness inherent to being American - knowing your rights. George Bush has systematically stripped our rights away. We’ve chosen to endorse Barack Obama as the man to keep them in check, restore what’s been lost and lead our nation into a new and prosperous future. We hope you like our concept. And, if you know, and enjoy your rights - Vote for Obama this coming November. Either way - stop by Manifest Hope and check out the unprecedented body of work created in honor of Mr. Obama.

COMMENT

Well done gentlemen! I feel proud to live in a country where certain individuals think further than expectation celebrates. It’s moments like these that create a much needed push in the direction of awareness and education and to embrace the foundation of the country we all seek partnership with… It makes living here splendid and not in an arrogant overbearingly proud way, but in an honest and true way. Thanks.

With the economy in shambles and the media preaching fear like it’s their job, shit’s gettin’ crazy. One thing to be on the lookout for this holiday season… clients. They come wearing many disguises, talking big game, and spewing all sorts of… well, often just spewing. So, here’s a little tip to all the idependent professional creatives out there, when they(clients) feel compelled to tell you just how deep their pockets are - odds are they’ve got short arms. That’s it. Deep Pockets - Short Arms. Heard that one from a buddy the other day, and it couldn’t be more dead-on. Take it or leave it. Just be on the lookout for anything remotely resembling a baby seal wearing high-end denim. It’s probably not what it seems.
