occupy art
This is one of the sketches I did of the Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant camp pre-raid — actually just 12 or so hours pre-raid. I’m trying to put together a show of occupy art at the Oakland and SF camps with the generous support and aid of SomArts and other galleries in Oakland. Stay tuned for more details there, and if you or someone you know has been creating art around occupations here (best if it’s easily displayed — drawings, paintings, prints, photos, etc) please get in touch.

Hi Susie
I’m looking for talented cartoonists who would like to contribute to Occupy London. I’ve made an online cartoon generator where people can make their own cartoons to support the cause. I’m asking around, trying to find great artists who can help me. I wonder if you can help me find people who would be interested?
Here’s my standard blurb below:
At the the Occupy LSX site at St Pauls, London, there are many drawings and paintings sellotaped to the walls; the area has become a public Art gallery. Works full of slogans and messages, full of passion.
While visiting the site, it occurred to me that many people want to express their views in this way, and contribute their own art work to share with Occupy London, to express their support and solidarity; but they can’t physically be at St Pauls.
I’ve built this online cartoon tool: http://occupylondon-withcartoons.org, which makes it easy to make political cartoons to support Occupy London. Once a week I’ll print them, and go to St Pauls and stick them on the walls.
How it works: you simply pick from a selection of ‘ready-made’ cartoons, re-mix them into your own creation, and add captions.
I’m inviting many artists to contribute work, to build up a big stock of ‘ready-made’ fantastic drawings and cartoons to remix. So far Martin Rowson (of the Guardian) has very kindly contributed some of his original cartoons. All contributors work will be properly accredited.
Please visit the website for more details on how to use: http://occupylondon-withcartoons.org/user.php
I would be very grateful for your support!
Many thanks, Dave
