Here are some images from a Design for Obama (Aaron Perry-Zucker/ Steve Heller/ Spike Lee) poster exhibit in Equador I went to last week and some images from my lecture/ workshop. This image, one of my favorites from the campaign back in 08 by Ron English was great to see up close

THe entrance to the exhibit.

I don't speak a lick of Espanol, but I got to meet and chat with the US Ambassador to Ecuador and some interesting people, including my host Esteban Salgado from Grafitat.

they had a great space for this exhibit (PUCE, a cultural center and univerity).
I always take my girls wherever I go. And somehow a Fuchs postcard managed to escape customs. They printed up some materials to promote my lecture event and workshops as well.

I'll do a post later next week on how the workshops went (swimmingly) and show some of the work from the students and professional participants.
Thanks to Esteban Salgado "Youre not my fucking daddy" Salgado for hosting the event and keeping me from getting mugged on the streets of Quito. I had a great time.
