Oh Rosie

SK2180421 Oh Rosie
Rosa Parks is best remembered for her resistance to give up her seat  in the 'colored section' for a white passenger (December, 1955). She wasn't the first person to resist bus segregation. Others, like Claudette Colvin (March, 1955), have preceded her act. 
Here's a small 'memento'; not only to those whose names have been forgotten, but also to remind us how a simple, non violent act can change things.

Murphy that

SK2180418 Murphy That
Murphy's Law says anything that may go wrong, will go wrong. So the question is: how to solve the problem before it happens; or: how to 'Murphy that?' This phrase  is a quote from my SF short story 'Ameizan'). I created the image thinking about this phrase printed upside down on a coffee mug. Yep. Drinking and reading upside down. Murphy that!
