Colleges & Workplaces snooping through people's Social Media posts
Recently, a young student hoping to attend Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, was unfortunately rejected due to the fact that she had made explicit comments about the the attendees present with her during a campus information session, after the admissions office had caught mention of this, they had read every single tweet and had decided to not let her into the college, because of the comments made about attendees. This makes me worried about my personal digital footprint, as some things that I have posted online are not exactly appropriate or approved by everybody in the whole world. For me, that's acceptable. I don't expect to be the most considerate person in the whole world, and I know I can't make everybody happy, but I certainly enjoy posting things on the internet and browsing it, and I hope colleges respect that in a way that I can still keep my school and internet lives separate.

Updated Artist Card
This is my updated artist card. I really enjoyed making this piece because I made it into a pseudo-political statement. I love America I just hate meow.
I mean, It's a pretty nice statement but the imagery behind it is even better.

KAWS & Mortimer
Kaws and Dylan Mortimer are two very diverse and different artists. They both express their personal views through an abstract style. Dylan Mortimer is a much more faith-oriented artist, creating pieces of art to represent his self and his faith in his religion. KAWS on the other hand is driven by more socio-culture and pop culture. Creating pieces based on shows such as The Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, Mickey Mouse, and Charlie Brown. His signature puffy skull and crossbones is presented in almost all of his work, acting as one of his signatures on his pieces. They are both amazing artists, but I don't really appreciate their work all that much, although very amazing in each of their own works.
