Agitprop and a Photograph - Earn your media!

This photograph is the first one I have ever had published in a major daily newspaper. This picture of Captain Clean which I took as part of my rally duties at the LHMU was published in The Age.

Better to earn than pay for a circulation of 1 million.

Propaganda..

This will be a simple blog. A place for propaganda to go and be remembered. To remember the campaigns of the past and to link the past propaganda with current causes.

You may not like what this blog says, but you surely will find ideas galore for your buttons, banners, toques, t-shirts, posters, placards, revolt and revolution.

I'll start it off with a reminder of the power of the hand drawn sign:



This particular placard is from the 1998-1999 BC Projectionist's strike (IATSE 348).
