ABC's of Jackson Nash
Congratulations are in order for Jackson Nash who completed the 26th letter in his art series, The Peace Alphabet, last Friday for SuperForest. Jackson is a good compadre of mine, so I have had the great fortune to chat with him as he went on this small journey and sometimes get a peak at his sketchbook. When I saw his first letter-doodle in his sketchbook, I knew he was onto something simple, yet big; amusing yet profound! Something more than a language's word-building blocks, more than an art exercise in ideas, something that ultimately takes these two fundamental means of our creative lives and uses it as a grand projection for our civilization: PEACE.
Bravo bravo bravo, Jack.

Hi there! I was wondering where you got your blog button "artists for Obama"? Would you mind if I used it on my blog?
Hi Sherry!
I created the blog button and would be more than happy if you used it on your blog. In fact, if you want to help spread the word for other artists to use the button, and grab it yourself, go to this page where I have two versions:

Thanks for commenting/asking!

I'm so beyond flattered.
You are the best, Christine and Spookoo is my eggs and bacon.

Aww hells no, YOU are the best!
The Peace Alphabet was one of the most fun and intellectually exciting art events this autumn... I wish there were more letters in our language so you could keep goin' on!
