Robbie Conal takes note of 08ingchange

Just before the new year I emailed Robbie Conal, Los Angeles based guerilla poster artist, to let him know of the efforts we have been making at 08ingchange. Well on new years eve I received an email from him that gave me an extra bit of encouragement. He mentioned that he loved our work and to continue on in our efforts in spreading the message.

Well, not only did he give us some encouragement but he also used our "08ing" slogan on and older piece of his that he has sent out as a card to friends. What makes this all so special is that Robbie's work was a big inspiration in getting this project of the ground. I remember going to school everyday and driving over Laurel Canyon and always seeing a new Conal poster that had some commentary on the state of politics at that time. Those messages were powerful and stuck with me for years. So, when it came time to wanting to spread a message of my own, Robbie's guerilla tactics came to mind.

So thank you Robbie for your years of fearless messages that strike deep in the hearts of motorists everyday stuck in traffic. To see more of Robbie's work visit his website
