Taking it from the street to the Shitshow

The other night I saw a very inspiring documentary about street art, Exit Through the Gift Shop. The documentary showed how street artists took their art to the street to make a statement. Many of the artists would plaster the same image over and over again at different locations around the world. During the movie I thought to myself why not start throwing rocks at the Shitshow with this type of art movement.

After the movie I reached out to a friend who is also stuck at the Shitshow but who is also an artist, Mr. Sunshine. We brainstormed about what we could do, and more importantly what you could do.

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to print out Janser’s previously posted Throwing Mud comic strips. Post them in your cube, on your office door, on shared bulletin boards, and so on. This will be good practice for the next step.

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be releasing Mr. Sunshine images on this blog. The first four will be Mr. Sunshine’s interpretations of the “major 4” Shitshow logos. When your Shitshow logo is released, print out multiple copies and post them around your work area on cubes, in kitchens, on bathroom stalls, on office windows and so on.

Rock throwing tip: You may need to print the logos at home and make copies at work, that way they don’t track your user logon to the print job.

Because you work at a Shitshow, it’s time to start throwing rocks.
