If the subjects of what you and I might think are disgusting or disrespectful cartoons are targets because of their own vile actions, does the artist not owe it to the victims to expose and vilify those actions? To strip powerful people of their cloak of sanctity and respect to show them for what they are to the world?

I wasn't sure I'd want to keep it so I just used glue-gun dots and velcro dots to stick them up there. It is so much better than the crappy old wallpaper that it's going to stay. The minimalist-adhesive approach seems to be working so I will leave it at that. I have something of a crazy passion for maps of all kinds.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805115670543125139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942690.post-68221610966185899562014-09-22T11:21:30.180-05:002014-09-22T11:21:30.180-05:00I think using old maps is a great idea.
