I designed and created my sign for No Kings today... [View all]
I am an artist/illustrator so I put a lot of time and thought into my art. The sign is double-sided, 3-D and is for Sat.'s protest and looks like this...
It is 2-sided (all my signs are...more bang for the buck) and on the one side is my standard "tRump's face behind prison bars", recycled from 2017..an oldie but a goodie. I have made earrings with this image that I designed in 2016 (and hand made bumper stickers) with that image and I have received tons of compliments over the years
Side 1. tRumps head is crowned, of course, and it is pasted onto tRump's head, which wears a Hitler hair-do, mustache, big, red clown nose, and a 3' long red tie with the purposeful "tape" shown on the back side (he DID get photographed with tale on his tie instead of a tie-clip)
I have saved and recycled some old signs and have quite a portfolio.
Side 2. I made a 3-D tombstone with "Donald Trump 1946- 2026" on it with a small Satan Pentagram at the top. It's underneath blue skies and clouds and a huge rainbow with the word HOPE written above the rainbow and tombstone.
*** The problem is is that I am a serious protester (over 36 between 2016-2020, 2024-current) and I want to hear the speakers and need to be in the very front so that I can near them and "woo-hoo" them. I go alone so that I can weave through the crowds and be in the front and I walk FAST. My signs are very popular but I do not like to stop and let someone take a photo...it slows me down. During the Oct No Kings over 80,000 people marched in San Diego so it's been getting more and more difficult to maneuver through such huge crowds without my signs getting noticed (one is even at a local Women's Museum, they asked if I'd donate it. I did but ended up making a 2nd one (they are complete with the Mommie Dearest 3-D coat hanger theme).
I don't know how to successfully post photos of my signs even though very kind DUers have guided me through the process. I am a 100% tech moron and doing anything like that is beyond my skills.
