you’re not getting any kind of education

you’re not getting any kind of education all you’re seeing is an orca that is not

be doing that for other species so I

be doing that for other species so I decided to get involved with this whole

decided to get involved with this whole

decided to get involved with this whole campaign and created a series of works

campaign and created a series of works

campaign and created a series of works and once again trying to condense and

and once again trying to condense and

and once again trying to condense and fold information into two-dimensional

fold information into two-dimensional

fold information into two-dimensional layouts that will immediately translate

layouts that will immediately translate

layouts that will immediately translate in a glimpse to the largest audience

in a glimpse to the largest audience

in a glimpse to the largest audience possible so this was as simple as

possible so this was as simple as

possible so this was as simple as interpreting what the Japanese flag

interpreting what the Japanese flag

interpreting what the Japanese flag would look like by placing sort of a

would look like by placing sort of a bloody spot that’s bleeding out in the

bloody spot that’s bleeding out in the

bloody spot that’s bleeding out in the center of the flag and that also spells

center of the flag and that also spells

the word The Cove and but only did I see

the word The Cove and but only did I see garbage unfolding in Africa but every

garbage unfolding in Africa but every

garbage unfolding in Africa but every time I went scuba diving or snorkeling

time I went scuba diving or snorkeling

time I went scuba diving or snorkeling in any ecosystem all I encountered was

in any ecosystem all I encountered was

in any ecosystem all I encountered was plastic and so I started creating these

plastic and so I started creating these

plastic and so I started creating these simple animations this is the other

simple animations this is the other

simple animations this is the other aspect of my career that I haven’t told

aspect of my career that I haven’t told

aspect of my career that I haven’t told very many people is that I don’t know

very many people is that I don’t know

very many people is that I don’t know how to do half the things I do and so

how to do half the things I do and so

how to do half the things I do and so when I wake up thank God for Google and

when I wake up thank God for Google and

when I wake up thank God for Google and thank thank God for like how-to for

I even knew how to animate so this

I even knew how to animate so this particular animation is one of my early

particular animation is one of my early

particular animation is one of my early animation just to connect consumer

animation just to connect consumer

animation just to connect consumer choices and a simple things such as

choices and a simple things such as

acquiring a plastic bag in your life and

acquiring a plastic bag in your life and how that translates into affecting a

how that translates into affecting a

how that translates into affecting a larger ecosystem in our world

and so as I was saying earlier with life

and so as I was saying earlier with life being resilient I mean this and this is

being resilient I mean this and this is

being resilient I mean this and this is the other thing I have to say about my

the other thing I have to say about my

the other thing I have to say about my life is that most of the mail I get is

life is that most of the mail I get is

life is that most of the mail I get is just garbage and one thing that I got

just garbage and one thing that I got

just garbage and one thing that I got recently is a plastic bottle from Long

recently is a plastic bottle from Long

recently is a plastic bottle from Long Island that was covered in barnacles so

Island that was covered in barnacles so

this is once again a sign of life being

this is once again a sign of life being resilient so no matter what we do to the

resilient so no matter what we do to the
