Artwork / Lifesavers Fan Art
If you know who Yoda is and I know about him too, then it feels a bit like we know each other, which is what makes Yoda and other pop culture characters so powerful. They remind us that we’re all connected. Add a blue surgical mask to that kind of energy, and these characters make the perfect vehicle to promote healthy behavior and a sense of civic responsibility during a pandemic!
Right now, this work is more important than ever. As the vaccines roll out, people don’t want to make the effort anymore, but masks continue to play a vital role in protecting us all from COVID’s dangerous variants, whether or not we have the vaccine yet.
Please help flood the interwebs with masked up fan art!
All you have to do is choose a pop culture character you love, make an image of the character wearing a blue surgical mask, and share the image with me and with everyone you know. (If you love this idea, but are concerned about copright issues surrounding fan art, go here to find out why I feel good about making this work.)
