PROJECTS
Kevin once had his Mayan horoscope cast. The astrologer informed him that you are not the one to give the answers. Your role is to bring people to the doorway, so that they can pass through and be enlightened. You are the guide to put people on the path so that they can discover the answers for themselves.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
― Buckminster Fuller
ART 1969
After taking the online course on California Countercultures offered by UC Berkeley in conjunction with the Hippie Modernism exhibit, Kevin was inspired to do his own research on the art scenes of the sixties. Also, after he attended lectures at Ithaca College on deconstructing the archive, that presents museums as fascist, linear, patriarchal, white supremacist and exclusionary institutions, concluded the magazine was the most inclusive medium for communicating information on the history of this revolutionary decade. He created a zine about the sixties art scenes in the style of counterculture publications of that era. The cancelling of the planned 50th anniversary Woodstock concert focused the attention on the art and happenings of 1969.

THE DAILY PROTEST
Wizarding Weekend was a grassroots DIY street fair based on the Harry Potter fandom (like other such festivals were driven out of existence by Warner Bros.). This gathering proved to be the perfect event for distributing a subversive handbill promoting environmental causes but masquerading as Potterdom ephemera. The cosplaying college kids, high schoolers and young families were the target audience. People waiting in queues for food trucks and events were particularly receptive to the handbill when working up the line. Bedecked as an imaginary cohort of Sirius Black and affecting a raspy ominous voice, the only thing ever said, and said each and every time the handbill was passed out was: "Coldamort lives!"
THE DAILY PROTEST II
As part of the national and global rallies for racial justice, The Daily Protest was redesigned to address the 2020 summer of unrest. It provides a variety of website links that offer organizations, information and a wealth of reading lists to get the curious citizenry up the learning curve in regards to the current movement and its historical background and involved in taking action.
