This year the NCAA tournament, better known as March Madness, has been cancelled. While I do not consider myself to be an avid sports fan, this is one yearly event I definitely enjoy and like to follow. It seems to have less of the commercialization and self-importance of professional sports and the athletes seem to embrace the code and meaning of sports much better than the pros.

With that said, I understand the need to cancel, given the state of the pandemic we are facing worldwide. It is the right decision to put safety first. I just wanted to reach out to all sports lovers and all the athletes and let them know we are all behind them.

The world is pulling together to defeat this virus and I am very proud of that. Most of the time world politics seems quite dysfunctional to me. Maybe the threat to our common survival is reminding us how connected we all really are.

CALIFORNIA FIRES REVISITED (#art #fire #hope)

     This is my third take (unfortunately) on California fires. It is hard for me to imagine being chased out of your home by raging fire, everywhere you turn. And possibly having your power cut off to boot.

      It’s Sunday, October 27, I am sitting back watching the news, there is a rainy storm going on outside my window, my electric heater is on. I am thinking of snow, and Nor’easters and fires and as a New Yorker, I have to say, I am lucky I have never had to deal with fires the way folks in California often do.

      My heart goes out to California. I hope the folks out there can get together through their legislature and come up with practical solutions to deal more effectively with this recurring problem.

Election Day, Phil Gennuso, Poster, Vote!

by phil gennuso

Well, the day has finally come!
After a very long campaign season, the longest in my life, tomorrow, 11-08-2016, will be the day of reckoning.

If you are from the US, and haven’t voted yet, be sure to make time to cast your ballot tomorrow!

This is truly a historic election. If you miss the vote, what will you tell your kids and/or grand kids when they ask you, who did you vote for in 2016?

Best regards,
Phil Gennuso

Well, with the completion of the Iowa caucus and the coming of the New Hampshire primary, the political season has officially begun in the US. We all say, the campaigns are getting longer and longer, but not getting better and better.

This image started as part of a decal, on a car somewhere, parked, in my path, my daily walks and travels. I changed the design, and made the colors bolder, and more dramatic. I was thinking of adding “Radio Free New York”, using special fonts, to the artwork, but for now, I will just leave it as is.

This is my sign, my shield, to guard against the two party system and all of its propaganda. I have no faith in the two party system and want to transition to a multiple party system (by changing the rules) or a system of no parties. For me the two parties echo the last line of the Matthew Arnold poem, Dover Beach, “Where ignorant armies clash by night”.

With that said, periodically I may write a very short piece on where the election stands and what I think of the situation. I will use this insignia as my calling card!

VOTE 2014, MY TUESDAY REMINDER!

2014, Phil Gennuso, Vote!

Vote, 2014, My Tuesday Reminder!
One week and counting, don’t forget!
This election is probably more important than you think.
The Supreme Court could be at stake and remember, these appointments are for a lifetime.

Yes, a lifetime.

I’ll see you at the polling stations next Tuesday!

*

Important elections are coming up in the US, 2014.

Your vote is only one voice, true, but when joined, with other voices, it can be heard around the world.

Remember, if your one vote is not that important, why are some spending so much money to try to suppress it one way or another, or why are some trying to persuade you to just stay home?

Have a great Tuesday!
