This is located in the Hokona Hall Lobby on the bulletin board that's supposed to be used as a calendar even though it is empty and still has its January label. I chose this area because it gets a lot of traffic 24/7 but generally people walk through without paying attention to their surroundings. I wanted to add a small, complex art piece to an otherwise bland setting. The sticker is meant to invoke a WTF kind of reaction while also getting the audience to ponder it's eccentric qualities. It doesn't look like it makes sense right off, but if you look at it long enough you may come to understand some of its symbolic images. Or not. But it doesn't matter, it's not the interpretation that matters so much as the immediate reaction to seeing it.
You found a spot with huge potential. The drawing has lots of layers and humor. I think the connection between the calendar and the drawing could be developed a lot more, and I think the critique we had in class brought up lots of ideas. You'll have to ask yourself what you would like this site to become, and who should it communicate with?
