Like others inspired by the Civil Rights Movement of the nineteen sixties and seventies, with their soaring visions of World Peace, Free Love, Complete Equality, and Absolute Justice, I saw my role in the world in, similarly, extravagant terms. However, a lifetime of work on managing relationships (especially between competing and conflicting individuals and groups) has slowly and effectively chipped away at my overly mythical sense of self. Any remaining certainties, not already beaten down by humbling experiences, were soon shattered by how the world has changed since 2008, rendering much of my previous worldview irrelevant. Some posters can be customized as mugs or T-Shirts. Ask us to transfer your favorite Village Idiot design onto a product.

Check back with us next Friday for new posters!
Posters are a way for me to play with ideas, words, pictures, and typography, in an attempt to capture any moments of clarity that I might have in our fast-churning world. To the extent possible, I try to go past the usual polarizing issues (abortion, campaign finance, gerrymandering, racism, sexism, Trump, Putin, or Modi).
Even if my tone (sometimes) comes across as dismissive, I’d like to believe that my larger purpose is, always, to engage by playing, probing, provoking, and inspiring a rethink. As in my courses, I am not given to worrying about offending people. The stakes are far too high to worry about fragile sensibilities. Tsunamis, viruses, and wars don’t respect your hurt
feelings either!
