Contemporary Earth Day Art Inspired by 2017, Earth day Protest
Earth day was protested over the weekend and I sat at home and watched on TV, all the protest around the world and read some Op-eds on why this particular 2017,
earth day protest is needed.
It aimed to emphasis the need for science and funding for research on how to create Jobs and sustainability around climate change and reduction of global carbon emissions, because of climate change deniers and defunding for research.

Also how all this is pivotal to sustaining our well being as humans and for our planet which by the way is under all sorts of threat.

As I watched and saw all the signs made and carried by the protesters, I was amazed at the sheer audacity of the number of people who came out.

I was struck by the diversity and the facial expressions of the protesters, that was awesome to say the least.

By the way facial expressions drawn in a simple or rather abstract way is one Art I just love to paint or draw.

So this 2017, earth day march and protest gave me fantastic personalities and content to use.

A lot of the signs I noted, where written on brown corrugated cardboard paper, it looked like they where torn up in a hurry and made into signs.
It maybe intentional or not, for me it looked like a sign of what the earth is experiencing, a desperate need to combat climate change, tearing the earth through incessant floods, wild fires, hurricanes, constant volcano eruptions, etc.

I was immediately inspired, to create some sort of Art on all my cardboard boxes I, was looking to dispose.
It simply showed that our messages, can be seen or heard regardless of the material used to convey its content.

As an Artist I was inspired by the creativity and simplicity of these messages and decided to create some Art on all my card board boxes packed to be discarded.
