SOPA blackout: Bills lose three co-sponsors amid protests

There’s never a good enough reason for censorship. It’s time to let Congress know that bills like SOPA and the recently passed NDAA (which makes The Patriot Act look tame) are not okay. I commend sites like Wikipedia and WordPress for the SOPA blackout, their efforts have caused 3 co-sponsors to reconsider what they were backing. Check the link for the details from The Los Angeles Times

Nike Dunk Premium Gas Mask – New Branding Wars Piece by Freehand Profit Black Cement III Gas Mask – New Branding Wars piece from Freehand Profit

About the Artist:

Freehand Profit is a Los Angeles based artist who earned his name as a graffiti artist in DC and Northern Virginia. In 2005 he graduated Corcoran College of Art & Design with a BA in Fine Arts. Since then he's rooted himself in LA's Hip-Hop scene and has been working to forget what he learned in art school and make work without the pretentiousness that all too often accompanies "good" art.

Currently Freehand Profit is exploring the iconographic nature of masks through his MASK365 project. Inspired by Noah Scalin's Skull-A-Day, Profit is creating a mask a day and publishing them through his blog. The repetitive nature of the project has allowed Freehand Profit to expand into new artistic approaches and has developed into numerous bodies of work such as the Branding Wars (a series of gas masks re-imagined and transformed with commercial goods like Nike shoes and Gucci hand bags) and the Guerrilla Art Squadron (a series of designs hybridizing gas masks and creatures).
