andrews p.art project

So if anyone knows me they know that i love cereal. Kellogg was a genious! Its easy, nutrional, it can be a meal and a snack. Apparently there is a resteraunt in Chicago that only serves cereal. Anyways, after eating about 8 boxes a day, I have a lot of empty cereal boxes left. I decided to come up with a way to creatively recycle them. Other than being a nice container for wheaty and grainy goodness, the cardboard is very sturdy and printable. They are also shaped so that they are easy to cut and take apart. Perfect! I have been thinking a lot lately about the poor state of our nation. With an undiscerning president, a corrupt administration, and new laws that further strip us of our civil liberties(The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act for example), it is time to start sending a message that we want change. So my little cereal boxes instantly graduated from sugar bomb container to political art in a few easy steps. After cutting them apart I found some artwork and some quotes and made some printable templates. I set my printer to heavyweight matte and the magic ensued. After printing them out I found some high traffic(and legal) spots to put my messages. Differences start small and ideas are sometimes worth more than the packages they come in. aw
