Cito made this sign for Della to carry at the peace march

Cito made this sign for Della to carry at the peace march


My very first appearance in a real live coffee table book arrived at my door today. I’m so humbled and thrilled to be included in this book. And what a book it is- I got chills when I looked through it. I doubt I’ll ever witness anything in my lifetime that will compare with the Obama campaign. When I look through these posters and remember what it was like; the swelling excitement every time I found a new piece of Obama art stickered in the alley or stenciled on the sidewalk, and then the masses celebrating in the streets on election night… I’m just glad I was awake for it. I wish I had done more.
Everyone I know will be getting this book from Santa this year.

Cito made this at his preschool during Expressive Arts from a couple of recycled yogurt containers, pipe cleaners and tape. He wore it around the whole day and was all too proud to explain his creation to envious strangers at the market.

Easily the best $8 I plan on spending today.
