Flat Joel.
If you know me well, then you probably know that I’m not a huge fan of politics. I think it’s extremely important that we appreciate that there is no one answer, and rare is the case where someone is right or wrong. Republicans? They make a lot of great points. Democrats? Also a lot of great points.
Anyway while I might dislike politics, I love MSPaint. How is this even remotely related? Well, Sarah, a friend of MikeDiDonato.com, is a campaign manager for a Mr. Joel Haugen in Oregon. Joel Haugen is running for Congress and Sarah asked me if I’d be willing to whip up a little MSPaint version of Flat Stanley in the likeness of her candidate.
Clearly I rose to the challenge. Not so much because I believe in politics but because I believe in MSPaint. So, check out Joel’s website. Over there on the left hand side bar is a little download Flat Joel link. It’ll bring you to a page where you can download my picture of Joel Haugen. Neat huh?
Here’s a preview:
MSPaint. Helping shape the United States’ Congress.
Yay you!
Cool. I love politics, even though it’s basically a contest to see who can get away with more lies. It’s a giant marketing campaign where people sell their own image, and occasionally get things done. Fascinating.
Wait, there are other friends of Mike D. in the PNW?
Whoa!!
Heck yeah! Where are you?
Seeeeattle!
Cuh-razy!
Flat Joel update: We are considering trying to get a life-size, free-standing Flat Joel printed. If we succeed, photos will follow.
Whoa! Awesome!
Second Flat Joel update in 5 minutes: We are getting coasters made with Flat Joel. Flat Joel will take over the city, and thusly so will Mike D (even though he’s never been here…).
