Graffiti Lettering Contest
@trippymane ran another Graffiti Lettering Contest , which I couldn't miss and had to take part in, even if it meant carrying my markers around with me. I really enjoy the creative process, and the fact that it feels so great to have done something. Especially when it's a lot of fun. Painting is something that encompasses me with a feeling of joy.
"EYE" for the 14th Graffiti Lettering Challenge seemed kinda metaphoric to me when coming up with ideas.
What came to mind immediately was. "I'm eyeing you", "I got my eye on you", "Surveillance", "Big Brother's watching you" and feudalism, ID2020, the WEF, the iso 20022 message standard, intraledger protocol etc.
My Entry
I thought of a pig. A cop. Not because the pig as an animal is dirty, but because I wanted to add something morbid, since we are so desensitised buying pig corpses in grocery stores. Like on cigarette packets, we don't have images of dead, bleeding animals printed on meat product packaging.
Nevertheless, these victims are being portrayed in various disdainful ways to indoctrinate us to oversee their suffering.
It's none of your business! That's my motto.
Here is the process:
Conclusions
There are a lot of thoughts that go through my head when I think about surveillance. Specially the fact that if I were to sell a painting on a canvas for a couple of thousand dollars and receive cash for it. If I put it on my bank, I have to file taxes and pay my government a certain amount of it. If I keep the cash and stack it away, they'd never know, but I would cheat and betray my government and could be prosecuted for tax fraud. It gets specially weird when you live in a country where there is too much supply and too less demand and construction companies have government contracts to do annual construction that's beyond any legitimisation. Government spending to outwardly horse around economic activity, progress and infrastructural improvement. When in fact, if that tax payer money isn't spent, they'd have a herd of unemployed construction workers standing in line to receive unemployment benefits instead. Apart from such irrationality when it comes to the inefficiency of governmental fiscal policies, I find the control and surveillance imposed on individuals a violation of privacy and liberty. A conceit for a free market, tx fees for a treasury and a DAO that decides what and how things can be done more efficiently would be a healthy refinement.
Thank you for reading.
Abundance to everyone

Time is only the difference between present human ignorance and future common knowledge, because the masses haven't caught up to the discoveries that lie beyond the patterns of the contemporary. What if you knew? When you find out you will know in the future. The difference is consciousness. -@yangyanje

Wonderful to see that self-expression is still winning in your world. 😍
Sending you blessings and much love. x
@artemislives. Thank you for your comment. You know, it does cross my mind to what extend one can be selflessness in promoting others and talk positive about talented people around you really benefits you. I can appreciate if someone has a blog feed with a lot of reblogs from others. It's something that I currently really find important. For example, if I know a great musician and and tell someone who owns a bar. He might take me serious if he knows I make music or remembers that I put together a great show of musicians. It's a big difference when I say it about the musician, that if he talk about himself. I remember this very well from my days as an artist manager in mumbai. The power of promoting others and their talents, is so important and that power in a creators economy brings many joyful experiences.
I like to think of it as uplifting and shining a light... whether it's a product, a person, an NGO or an artist... it doesn't matter.
Each of us has gifts we shine out into the world, and COLLECTIVELY we make it better.
I LIKE that term, "creators' economy".
Like it. I can see a beacon of light at the end of a tunnel as bright as daylight, but the tunnel is lit with the creators im traveling with. Much love to you my dear friend.
