Election Day 2016

My Recent Nose Job
Michael Shinafelt
Let me start this off by saying, I've already voted. In case you could not tell by the image I posted. How about I follow that up with this election has been the biggest shit show in American History.

Seriously, we as people of the United States of America should be highly embarrassed by it. It has been a reality show that could air on the Bravo TV Network. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but in terms of government, world wide security and issues that affect people's lives, WTF?!

OK, I am now stepping down from my soapbox, not! If you vote for Donald Trump today, I'm confused. If you vote for a third party because you are so Bernie or Bust, free your mind. I'm talking to you rich and entitled Susan Sarandon who no matter what happens in this election you will still be fine. So stop trying to use your position to vote with your asshole and influence the easily swayed. Also to all you millennials who need a babysitter still, cry to mother, or better yet, try to affect a positive change in the world. 

For the most part the people of America have been treating this election year like a rebel without a clue. I hope today you get it together and do what is in the best interest of this country.

So how did I vote two weeks ago? I proudly voted for Hillary Clinton

Happy Election Tuesday, and Beware of pussy grabbers at the polls!

Nasty Woman: Katy Perry

Team Nasty!
Katy Perry & Friends
Yes, Donald Trump, Katy Perry is too a "Nasty Woman." So much so that she hit the the campus of the University Of Las Vegas in support of Hillary "Ms. Clinton" if your nasty to rally the masses for early voting. 

How dirty of her. Katy also showed how fully she supported Clinton by declaring herself nasty by wearing a T-Shirt with a giant red heart with the words "Nasty Woman" in it. Yep, nasty love is all the rage right now. My suspicion is we are going to get four years of it come November 8th.

Personally I'm sold! I'll gladly take it over the pussy grabbing American Racist any day.

Happy Monday and only one more week until Halloween!!!

Don't Bother Me I'm Voting



Today is the California primary, and since I live in CA, Los Angeles,to be exact I will be casting my vote for the candidate of my choosing this morning.

Having moved recently I have not had time to get my change of address in to obtain an absentee ballot so I could vote my preferred way by mail.

Who am I voting for? That does not really matter, the point is you should exercise the fact that you have a vote.

Let's kick off the primary on a high note, literally with the song Election Day by Arcadia featuring the one and only Grace Jones

Have fun, be careful and whatever you do, Dump Trump!

Election Day: Embrace Your Power

Art By: Patrick Martinez
Los Angeles Artists & Creative Organizers Launch
Embrace Your Power, Embrace Our Communities 
Neon Sign & Photo Essay
Call to Action Initiative
To Encourage Voting In Los Angeles
In the November 4, 2014 General Election

Hey people it's November 4th, you know, Election Day, embrace your power, do it and do it now...!

Creative Organizer, Visual Street Artist & Fashion Photographer
Join Forces to Bring Attention to Importance of Voting

Local creative organizer Wyatt Closs, visual street artist Patrick Martinez, and fashion photographer Colin Young-Wolff have joined forces in an artful call to action, Embrace Your Power, Embrace Our Communities, to promote voting in Los Angeles.  Particularly aimed at young people and disaffected communities who are apathetic about voting, the campaign centers on a neon artwork with text that urges passersby to “Embrace Your Power” (see image above). The sign, a whimsical play on neon palm reader signage, was positioned and documented in diverse communities around Los Angeles; the resulting images and videos are being distributed online through a variety of social media platforms to serve as a catalyst for political action. For additional information, please see http://bigbowlofideas.com/embrace.

“The goal of the Embrace Your Power, Embrace Our Communities sign project is to encourage community members to register and vote,” says Wyatt Closs, producer of the photo project, “Our strategy is to catch attention through dynamic visuals, something that is not traditionally seen in political communications. There’s no preaching at you or red, white, and blue.”

Embrace Your Power Student Action –
Closs, Martinez, and Young-Wolff are collaborating on behalf of a cluster of non-profit and community-based organizations as part of a larger Embrace Your Power campaign, spearheaded by youth activists in the Los Angeles area who are frustrated by immigration reform and hoping to effect change. Participants, some of whom have fasted for as long as a week, are calling attention to the humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexican border.

Alarmed by reactions they saw to the Central American ‘border children’ fleeing violence, a group of students in Los Angeles took matters into their own hands. They decided to do a very public fasting to bring attention to the plight of the border children and to get the message out that children should be valued over politics. In addition to the fast, their actions also included a canned food and clothing drive for goods to be delivered to shelters and centers currently housing border children.

Many of the student activists are affiliated with the “Children Over Politics” video project, which encourages individuals to create videos in support of the cause, organized by the Service Employees International Union. Additional Embrace Your Power collaborators include United Long Term Care WorkersUnited Service Workers WestCoalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los AngelesCarwash Workers Organizing CampaignCouncilman Gilbert CedilloCLUE LAHeadcount.org, and #GoVote

Embrace Your Power, Embrace Our Communities Neon Sign & Photo Essay – 
The neon sign and corresponding photo essay are designed to support the ongoing Embrace Your Powerstudent-led effort to get more young people to affect social change through political engagement. The art breaks with traditional forms of appeal used in politics to get people to vote while showing the beauty of Los Angeles’ ‘sleeping giant’ communities. In the photo essay images, the sign is juxtaposed against locations that represent the diverse communities of Los Angeles as well as the issues impacting those communities, such as clinics, schools and libraries, which require political engagement in order to thrive. The photo essay image and video assets are being shared online through a variety of social media platforms, in collaboration with participating non-profit and community-based organizations, through Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Instagram. The project’s hope is that the campaign imagery will go viral in order to serve as a catalyst for political action.

“In a subtle, streetwise form, the message behind the entire Embrace Your Power campaign is: Make your own future by voting,” says Closs.
