The White Rose

[mopinko]

3. one of the nicest compliments i ever got

was a fellow artist who made me a little drawing of a white rose, and framed it and everything.

i had to go meet him. in 08 he had big letters spelling out- obama- on his fence. it was not only repeatedly defaced, someone actually threw a small molotov cocktail at his house.
this in chicago, but a heavily jewish orthodox neighborhood. and ya know, joe lie-berman told them obama was evil.

i was driving an old suburban literally covered w anti-bush, anti-war, pro-obama bumperstickers. big ones. i drew quite a crowd, but they wouldnt speak w me because i was female.

i couldnt believe it was my city.

so a few days later he showed up at my door w that lovely little picture.
a real treasure.
