Some people believe big corporations are big bad monsters that gobble up little businesses, destroy our environment, and have way too much control over our buying habits. Others believe that their economic angels and that they help lower prices for consumers, provide more job opportunities, and stimulate economic prosperity. Clearly the individual that should resolve this dichotomy is… a child. With your child (or a child) as your lead designer, make a mythical creature out of all those boxes you have in your garage from big box stores and corporations that is either monster-like or fairy and angelic like – your child’s choice! – Inspired by Casey Elaine L.

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 32 – The Ballot Bunch
You’ve heard of the “Brady Bunch”… what about the Ballot Bunch?

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 31 – Trash Portrait

Submit an image of your artwork. – Deidra L.
