\"IMG_5760\"<\/a> My dad asked me to paint a graphic for a poster advertising his speech supporting the Northern Gateway Pipeline. I am an activist against the pipeline.<\/strong> <\/span>What to do?<\/h2>\n

This is the graphic image I produced last night after blood, sweat and nearly cutting off my ear. I have the artistic temperament and when I create with paint, things get serious<\/strong>. I am trying to work on this temperament but let me just say, that if I had a knife handy last night, I would have cut off my ear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The graphic is for a poster advertising a talk at Thompson Rivers University about the Northern Gateway Pipeline.<\/strong> The very pipeline I have been an activist against<\/em>.<\/p>\n

My father is speaking at this talk. His argument is for the pipeline. He is using the Canadian political negative ramifications (of rejecting the pipeline) to support his arguments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am against the pipeline. I am using the ecological devastation to the North Pacific temporate rainforest \u00a0and coastal regions (near Prince Rupert) to support my argument.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My dad asked me to make a graphic for his poster. He’s my dad. I said yes.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He wanted an attractive pipeline and oil tanker.
\nI wanted a spirit bear and other creatures drowning in a river of crude oil.<\/p>\n

I compromised.<\/strong>
\n My dad got his tanker and I got my spirit bear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If anything, I hope it will draw in anyone curious about the pipeline to listen to his talk. But in the end, I hope they think of the fragile rainforest ecosystem and Northwestern Coastal waters and say NO!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
