💭 🌈 ⛅️ It was a dreamy experience to have been part of this oh-so-informative documentary, Corita Kent: The Pop Art Nun” by the Artbound team @kcet led by the remarkarble Juan Devis. . 
This film is part of series of mini-docs on activism in California graphic design that you can access on the KCET Artbound page at kcet.org/arts-culture. Also look under “Graphic Design” for a wealth of material including the jointly produced @kcet and @hyperallergic series among which are excellent story on intersection of graphic design and social justice in LA by Matt Stromberg @officialstromberg and @staci_alayne as well as others! . Included in or playing a role in the Corita documentary are so many people and places that I respect and love: @kcet @Suzanne Méjean Pinney, @juliehoook heidiburkey @hyperallergic Silas Munro @siborg81 @polymodestudio Stephen Coles @stewf @letterformarchive Nellie Scott @coritaartcenter Betty Avila, Self-Help Graphics @shg1970 Lincoln Cushing @lincolncushing Juliette Bellocq @juliettebellocq. Title design by Amun Levy, Alterbeast. . Finally, a shout-out to the @calarts and @calartGD talent that was involved in the film and inspired by Sister Corita: Juan Devis, Silas Munro, Juliette Bellocq and myself. Many of us learned about Sister Corita thanks to Lorraine Wild @wildlosangeles in her Historical Survey of Graphic Design class. Rock on, CalArtians! . . . #sistercorita #coritakent #earthquakesmudslidesfiresandriots #californiagraphicdesign #californiadesign #graphicdesignandactivism #immaculateheart #poparthistory #artbound #hyperallergic https://www.instagram.com/p/CQhD5l6BBl_/?utm_medium=tumblr

1. Introducing The People’s Graphic Design Archive! 2. A virtual archive built by everyone, about everyone, for everyone. 3. Image: Poster for “Anatomy of the Black Aesthetic: An Examination. Nikki Giovanni—Poet + Critic.”  Black and white, boldly hand lettered poster. Designer unknown.1969. 4. It’s a grassroots archive, and everyone is invited to contribute! It’s crowdsourced! 5. The Archive aims to: > Expand graphic design history to uncover and include the works and histories of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, women, and other historically marginalized designers and allied professionals. > Expand the canon beyond schools of design that are historically privileged and homogenizing. > Expand the definition of graphic design. > Preserve works that weren’t previously considered worthwhile. > Encourage The People to determine and save our collective history! 6. Image: Cover of “Now Time, No. 3” magazine. Blue illustration of woman astronaut, Sally Ride, with logotype over her face. Design by Reverb Studio. 1993. 7. Why this archive now? The Archive has been in the works since 2016. During this time, we’ve been looking for funds and partners to build the platform. In the wake of the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and an overdue reckoning with white supremacy, we felt that the time was now to launch this cooperative platform in Notion...at least for the moment. 8. What can you do? > Browse—the archive. > Upload—your  design treasures! > Write—for the blog! > Share—your finds! 9. Image: Bubbles campaign. Stills of a groovy 1975 TV commercial for 7up illustrated with lights on a night sky. Type and line art with dancing women wearing fairy wings. Design by Robert Abel and the Associates (RA&A), 1975. 10.

Celebrating @wildlosangeles and the @calartsgd scholarship in her name. She has changed the lives of so many who had the privilege to study with her and be mentored by her. She inspired a transformation of how design looks, what it observes, and how it behaves and with that the people who make it. The legacy continues. Congrats to Becca Lofchie, the first recipient and mega thank you to @knikitas and @robincottle for instigating this recognition. (And thank you to @twinartlk for this treasured photo) #lorrainewild #calartsgd #lorrainewildscholarshipingraphicdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vAEkChgvp/?igshid=1m2a4wy9c7h6w

Ah... the treasures one finds when cleaning out the garage, including this illustration that did in the mid-1980s for an article in East West Journal titled something like “Getting Rid of Ritalin.” The drawing of the boots further on in the set proves that I applied to RISD, although was rejected 🙅 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3QZT8mBlGY/?igshid=iq1ucsri0u9t

Just found my student portfolio from 1970s. Apparently there was a time I could paint and draw. Who knew. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1AF4mkhN5b/?igshid=p7w9kt4jo396
