About the Artwork
The illustration pulls from the bright, hopeful art styles of the late 60s and early 70s. Rounded shapes, friendly characters, and a palette of oranges, mustard, teal, brown, and soft cream give it that familiar peace-era glow.
The message sits underneath the playfulness: community is the strongest defense people have when government systems turn hostile or indifferent. In a moment that feels like a long, slow-burning dumpster fire, the design points back to what actually works. We turn toward one another. We organize, share resources, and show up. Community isn’t a soft concept — it’s a survival strategy.
