KNOWLEDGE IS A FLOWER
In the 20 years (yikes!) I’ve been doing satirical guerrilla street posters, half the gag has been to wrangle an alternative-direct-
mischievous-cheap form of distribution: invading public spaces around the U.S. Hopefully SPITTING CONSCIOUSNESS. Including, “we don’t need no stinkin’ permission” to express ourselves in public about public issues. Hooking up with droppingknowledge.org and remixing just about my only “positive” message with the transcendent help of Debbie Ross (drfilmdesign.com) and Yelena Ebel(www.bigla.com) in a copyleft, mashable format is like a dream come true. A bunch of us bad bunnies working together to share ideas on how to spin the globe another way might not make another revolution, but, as Che Guevera (my apologies in advance) would have said, if he’d been from Brooklyn, “It couldn’t hoit.”
HERE’S THE DEAL: Download the poster here or at www.myspace.com/robbieconal, check out the blank 4th quadrant and let 'er rip. Draw your question, paint your question, stick figure it if ya want. Show me your best mash, then send an image of it to mashconal@droppingknowledge.org and the world is gonna check you out in a virtual gallery at www.droppingknowledge.org/mashconal
