I’ve been neck deep in painting, working on six pieces simultaneously…pieces that I started at the beginning of the summer, and had planned to have completed by now. Alas, I still have another month before these paintings will be complete. It’ll be worth the extra wait though.
In the meantime, during my brief resurfacing for air, I completed some logo designs that I had been playing around with in the same vein as Get Caught Looking. With this turn the focus is on another ridiculous long-standing sports team – the Washington Redskins.
I always joked that if there were ever a football team that came about called the Blackskins, it would last about 10 seconds before protests broke out on a scale resembling civil war. Whether or not that would actually happen, one thing is for sure, the team would never last. Although sometimes I wonder…
When entertainment is at hand, much that would normally be deemed offensive is accepted. Ignorance is bliss after all.
Either way, the Redskins continue to defy moral sense, under the stubborn pride of an outdated tradition, and the comfort of accusing those who rebuke this team as simply being too sensitive. After all, “it’s just a name.”
…What a cop out.
