With the various political climates in DC, one must
often blend in to get along. And it often seems that there is nothing more
powerful than the old mighty dollar. This elephant blends into the city by
painting himself up with dollar bill icons. And if nothing is more powerful
than the mighty dollar, what does that make the mighty elephant that looks so
very 'money'?
Party Animals
Soon the beautiful city of DC will be crowded with 200
whimsical elephants and donkeys (not that it isn1t already). The D.C.
Commission on the Arts and Humanities is both the organizing body and
fund-raising recipient of this project.
So, here's the deal-one of my designs was chosen and now I
have to finish the elephant you see to the right of this text. I'm going to
do my best to keep this site updated with my progresses. And I only have
until April 12 to do it.
