Even More Murals And Graffiti Around Penang

Beyond the impressive work of Ernest Zacharevic and his imitators, there are plenty of other doodles to see. Penang has turned into an endless outdoor sketchpad.

Animal attraction.


Well placed Oscar. Getting a little scary.
Checking directions at the corner. Headed due North?


Sports hero on the wall watching over. Getting political, Trump sticker on an electrical box.

Local politics, this stencil celebrates Malaysia's recent 60th year anniversary of independence in 2017. Merdeka means "independence" and Negaraku means "my country" (it is also Malaysia's national anthem) in Malay.

Witnessing The Women's March On Washington

What an amazing day in Washington, so many people, so clear in their intent to show the country and the world what kind of country the United States is.

The mob scene. Thank you, Donald Trump, for bringing the word pussy into the public vernacular. Pussy hats, pussy signs, pussy roars.


Great examples of humor and a hint of un-biased pleading.

Liberty singing out.


Portrait with protest sign in extreme 3D. Tomorrow's collectible graphic.

One of the more impressive efforts, knitting way beyond the pussy hats. Just go whole uterus!

Donald Trump's Inauguration, The Protest

And then this happened.


For some people, Trump as President is a disaster and the inauguration was a good platform to express their frustration. Signs can make your opinions crystal clear.

You tip over some trash, break some windows, burn a car or two, you're gonna see this guy and a lot of his friends.


Arch enemy archetypes. This boot-headed gentleman was warning everyone about the effects of tear gas, channeling the bad acid speech from Woodstock. On the right, in every definition of the word, Robo-riot-man.

Does anything happen if it's not live-streamed? At least getting the facts out there.


A park was taken over by the resistance and creative outlets popped up. The graffiti boys doing their magic. It says "Deport Trump" and the Exxon sign is a little shout-out to Sarah's potential new boss-to-be.

Oh god, it finally happened, they trashed the Starbucks.

The "Massed" Media At The Inauguration

Ho hum, another four years, another transfer of power, another inauguration. Just tell me where to point my camera and make sure my sight lines are clear. It's a pressing need.

The circus.


Looks at poking and primping, always tweaking the delivery of the information. "Is that your half-eaten salad on my makeup box?"

Media doll, waiting for a cue.


Down in the trenches, waiting. Beats being on the stake bed truck in front of the Presidential limo, in the camera cattle call.

The finished product, cleanly packaged.

Portraits At Trump's Inauguration

What better opportunity is there to see America's incredible diversity than a Presidential inauguration? Who showed up for Trump?

Channeling Diane Arbus.


People were there as statements, both Left and Right, standing up for women and looming as Putin.

Now we're talking. This gentleman knows a special occasion when he attends it, complete with a custom-made outfit. He was going to a ball later.


One man's triumph is another group's depression. The LGBT crowd was represented and not happy.

Witnessing Inauguration Day

Fact: James went to Donald J. Trump's inauguration. What did he see? Good question. Let's roll the photos and find out.

Security fence along the Mall, near the Washington Monument. You'd have to go through a checkpoint to get inside. No ticket required. Contrary to Sean Spicer's claim, we don't think this image shows hundreds of thousands of people outside the Mall lawn, still waiting to get in.


How do you block off a city? With plenty of big trucks and lots of metal fencing. To keep the invisible throngs under control.

Lonely bleachers along the parade route.


Lunch break, PETA volunteers and someone who really wanted to find a bench.

A couple, doing their best imitation of "The Out of Towners."


It turns out people are interested in Trump's taxes. Abe on a cell phone.

Channeling Francis Bacon on a Trump flag. That's a fact.

I Voted Today!

The scene in Arlington, Virginia.

The polls are open, people are happy to assist with voting.


You've got your "determined" supporters with their opinions. Some press, looking bored with the future of world democracy.

Just voted.


Be careful where you place your sign. "Crooked Hillary" supporter, with her basket of bribes. A story without legs.

Signs of new media, a one-woman production with a cell phone.


More voters.

Ah well, today's momentous news is tomorrow's All American Trash.
