We were excited to see this illustration by LA based artist & illustrator Ashley Lukashevsky pop up in our Instagram feed recently. She was lucky enough to get our very last Lydia Moyer/ Tero Juuti newsprint poster giveaway. It's the ultimate when something you've had a hand in inspires artwork from others. Ashley does illustrations to "dismantle patriarchal nonsense and systemic racism," and is involved with The Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, "a revival of Martin Luther King’s movement to topple the linked systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, and environmental devastation."
While supplies last, we are giving away this special, limited run- newsprint poster with every purchase made online or at our Lump Gallery location in Raleigh. It was the idea of Charlottesville, VA- based artist Lydia Moyer as a spin off of what she sees America should be, mocking Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan: "Make America An Endless Expanse of Old-Growth Forest With No Certain Borders Again." Moyer enlisted the help of Finnish designer Tero Juuti to recreate the MAGA hat typography -look into this newsprint poster. The result is, as someone pointed out to Moyer after the fact: "some irony in the whole project since newsprint is tied to deforestation." 22.75" x 27.5"
