Started defacing the newspaper today. The idea behind this is that every news event was overlooked due to the virus, so every article that isn't about the pandemic will be written over or crossed out. I've already messed up, as I started writing over the covid ones. So that I can fully concentrate, I'm going to do it in short bursts each day- this is going to take a long time...
Artist research today will be about iconoclasm, to link to the defacing of other peoples work

Popular Culture
While I was doing my 'jumble page', I thought of how much popular culture could be brought into this project- especially memes.
Thinking about printed tshirts- 1900s, serigraphic society promoted it as an art form
1950s- famous designs included the smiling face, Che Guevara and I <3 NY
Michael Vasilantone
2000s- humorous, political, statement tshirts became popular.
why haven't I seen Corona Virus shirts?
