MLK poster I made at work today. Didn’t want to do a cliche MLK poster (there are hundreds out there that all have a dream with his super thinking face silhouetted). My mind travelled from whimsical MLK posters which got me thinking - MLK is a pop icon. Let’s face it. 99% of you only know him for one thing - that he had a dream and wanted to hug it out all the time.</p> <p>So, thinking of pop icons led me to think of Shepherd Fairey. Thus the Fairey-styled MLK poster.</p> </blockquote> <p><b>You are getting REALLY good at designing. Your skills have improved like 100% since you started that program.

But the data suggests a strange paradox.</p> <blockquote> <blockquote></blockquote> </blockquote> <p>While Americans value art, the end product, they do not value what artists do. Only 27% of respondents believe that artists contribute “a lot” to the good of society.</p> <blockquote> <blockquote></blockquote> </blockquote> <p>Further interview data from the study reflects a strong sentiment in the cultural community that society does not value art making as legitimate work worthy of compensation. Many perceive the making of art as a frivolous or recreational pursuit.</p> <blockquote> <blockquote></blockquote> </blockquote> <p>Other insights further illuminate the depth of the paradox:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote></blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>• A majority of parents think that teaching the arts is as important as reading, math, science, history, and geography.</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote></blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>• 95% believe that the arts are important in preparing children for the future.</p> <blockquote></blockquote> <p>• In the face of a changing global economy, economists increasingly emphasize that the United States will have to rely on innovation, ingenuity, creativity, and analysis for its competitive edge—the very skills that can be enhanced by engagement with the arts.</p> <p><a href="http://www.unitedstatesartists.org/Public2/About/AnAmericanParadox/index.cfm">The American Paradox</a> via <a href="http://hydeordie.com/post/293995821/the-american-paradox-in-a-survey-of-attitudes">hydeordie </a><a href="http://newleft.tumblr.com/post/294294452/lifeonfiction-meltdowntown-buyhercandy-okayjokesove">newleft</a>: <a href="http://lifeonfiction.tumblr.com/post/294269716/meltdowntown-buyhercandy-okayjokesover">lifeonfiction</a>:<a href="http://meltdowntown.tumblr.com/post/294229463">meltdowntown</a>:<a href="http://buyhercandy.tumblr.com/post/294216223/okayjokesover-somethingchanged-in-a-survey"> buyhercandy</a>:<a href="http://okayjokesover.tumblr.com/post/294206324/somethingchanged-in-a-survey-of-attitudes"> okayjokesover</a>:<a href="http://www.somethingchanged.com.au/post/294198379/in-a-survey-of-attitudes-toward-artists-in-the">somethingchanged</a></p> </blockquote>http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294597208http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294597208Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:07:33 -0500<img src="http://1.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kv1f6hlcfz1qzrr0co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://bitchville.tumblr.com/post/294505781/birth-and-rebirth-by-lastwordspoken">bitchville</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Birth and rebirth by <a href="http://lastwordspoken.deviantart.com/">Lastwordspoken</a></p> </blockquote>http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294595395http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294595395Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:06:13 -0500<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tabo-at-Balde-Shower/240877732585?ref=ts">Tabo at Balde > Shower</a>: <p>(via <a href="http://www.pinoytumblr.com/">pinoytumblr</a>)</p> <p>LOL!!</p>http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294592940http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294592940Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:04:26 -0500<p><a href="http://jaelasoul.tumblr.com/post/294532424/i-hate-having-wooden-floors-all-over-my-house">jaelasoul</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>That shit makes it 10x colder =/</p> </blockquote>http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294583910http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294583910Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:57:47 -0500<img src="http://23.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kv0v434YPM1qzr04eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://youmeandjenilee.tumblr.com/post/293917032/via-icanread">youmeandjenilee</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://icanread.tumblr.com/">icanread</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294037677http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/294037677Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:26:52 -0500<img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuw6gwNv0b1qz4s3wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://szymon.tumblr.com/post/290090653/tongue-tattoo-photo-by-sebastian-niedlich" class="tumblr_blog">szymon</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42311564@N00/225956776/">Tongue Tattoo</a> | Photo by Sebastian Niedlich</p></blockquote>http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/290396511http://cretin.tumblr.com/post/290396511Sat, 19 Dec 2009 11:10:35 -0500<img src="http://22.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kuw3hjfjRR1qzol6go1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I adore my cutie pie.
