This was from September 2016. The Air Horn orchestra is still going strong, giving performances outside the Gov's Mansion each Wednesday night. I can hear them from my house!!! I love their creativity, and their volume!
I really feel this graphic is one of the more important ones I've made. It's not humorous, or biting, but shows ACTUAL local discrimination ordinances which were overturned by HB2.....
Although I love reading, I know many people don't. I've felt, during this HB2 debacle, that part of my job was to read articles, and present as much info as I could in one graphic, for people who want quick info.
This was early on (probably May 2016), when I felt like I could make folks laugh about the evil done by NC Senator Eldon "Buck" Newton, Senator Phil Berger (also president pro tem of the state Senate) and Patty McCrory.

I made this graphic in early April 2016, as the nationwide and international backlash against North Carolina and HB2 was really starting to gain steam. I've used it repeatedly in the months since, often incorporating it into a larger graphic about…
June 2016: Again, I'm using my Presbyterian sensibilities to call out some of the more egregiously offensive (to me, at least) members of NC state government. This was one of the earlier appearances in my "art projects" of Greensboro-area…
May 2016: After the U.S. Department of Justice gave Gov. McCrory a deadline of May 9th to let them know that NC was in compliance with Federal anti-discrimination law, Governor McCrory whined that he was only given a few working days to make this…
