Smells Like American Spirit

Description

This picture made me the 11th grade winner of the Ordway Theatre "Circle of Stars" Art Contest. I was very happy. It turned out I got $50 for it (surprise, I think it should've been more but whatever, it's free money) and I caught the attention of the superintendent of the St.Paul school district. It's supposed to show how america is more of the "vegetable soup" than the "melting pot" since though there are a ton of cultures here they don't try to blend in with everyone else. Oh, and the red,white, and blue star thing on her face isn't an american flag, it's a puerto rican one.

Hi Blue-Moon-Angel,

I love this art!

I’m part of a small art collective in San Francisco that makes posters supporting liberal causes, and gives them away online. Here’s our website: www.politicalLoudmouth.com.

We are working on a new series supporting women’s issues and rallying people against what has been called the “War on Women.” Would it be okay with you if we used this image in one of our posters? What we could offer you is a credit on the poster itself, on both our sites, and a blurb describing your art with links back to your page.

Here’s our Facebook page: [link]
We recently passed 2.5 million post views per month. So even though we are cash poor, we do have some traffic to offer.

I hope you are interested. This is a really striking piece and I’m sure our readers will love it!

Thank you!
