Clean Air Under Attack !
Dear AITD,
It’s an outrage. 2010 should start in a way that reflects our movement’s amazing accomplishments from last year — moving the ball forward to passage of comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation. Instead, our elected leaders are proposing policies that would set us back decades and let the worst polluters completely off the hook.

Anti-Homosexuality Bill could mean a death sentence for LGBT People in Uganda
A proposed bill storming through Uganda’s parliament is one of the most severe pieces of anti-homosexuality legislation in the entire world! If passed, it would establish an alarming precedent that would virtually annihilate the human rights of Uganda’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) population.

Smear Show Pics
SMEAR on full blast with his classic Liquor face character that Dream Works studios used on Bee Movie was the piece chosen for the window display. I thought it was a good choice because it made those whom are familiar with his street character welcome and at the same time gave a taste of the [...]
~Event~ SMEAR ~ “Im tired of being sexy”
Smear has become one of my favorite artists of all times.
His painting style in my opinion is a representation of Life in its randomness captured at the spur of the moment. Life is always throwing curve balls at us and no matter how we plan ahead it has the authority to change our [...]
