Is Andy Warhol Dead or Alive ??? Lane’s comment post on http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com
Shepard Fairey’s Barack Obama “Hope” poster became the focus of Some design critics and practitioners had already questioned the street artist’s habit of “sampling” existing imagery. For me this is Pop Art Poster, an art form based in the power of
popular images, derived from the commercial and mass media sources that permeate modern American society. By elevating the banal to the status of Art, the viewer is challenged to reconsider the nature of society and its values. Pop artists have focused attention upon familiar images of the popular culture such as billboards, comic strips, magazine advertisements, and supermarket products. Pop Art helped change the way the world defined art.

Understanding Obama's Mysterious Smile
What is behind the Barak Obama Smile? Is Obama's smile a secret weapon? Or is it because Administration seeks balance between protecting taxpayer funds and preventing collapse of financial system? What's he smiling about?
Save the Planet - Will Rising Incomes Help the Environment or Endanger the Planet?
The nation’s affluence and advanced technology for the planet were featured in a famous equation equation: I=PAT, which means that environmental impact is equal to population multiplied by affluence multiplied by technology developed by the ecologist Paul Ehrlich and the physicist John P. Holdren, who is now President Obama’s science adviser. Protecting the planet seemed to require fewer people, less wealth and simpler technology… In my point of view, the solution: to eliminate irrational advanced technology, which seem so obviously bad for the planet…

Metamorphosis - Lane's Cartoon on the 10th PortoCartoon World Festival - Portugal 2008
It was with great satisfaction I have participated in the event. The theme was Human Rights, considering the theme proposed, I would like to point out the article 19 – “everyone has the right to freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers”. Cartoon and caricature, in some ways, is one of the most effective ways of communication. Humor penetrates immediately into collective consciousness and leaves a very strong impression. I think, like Philosophy, humor pursues this ideal systematically: an ideal world.

The Prisoner of War
Another Victim of Our Irrational War: the humour.If Peace can be defined simply as the absence of war in its different forms thus, the war is mindless “tough-on-crime” hysteria, an increasingly irrational “drug war.”
