June 30, 2010 – Ant G.A.S. Mask
I got a new Guerrilla Art Squadron mask for you today. Today it’s the Ant G.A.S. Mask and there’s good reason. I take a personal reflection when I think about the ant, a creature so small that at most times they go unnoticed. Yet cultures around the world have their own proverbs, stories and ideas about such a magnificent thing. Think for a moment, there’s the story of the ant and the grasshopper, we all know the ants going marching one by one hoo-rah, hoo-rah! I seem to recall the fact that if we had the strength of an ant we’d be able to lift a house! More than 12,000 species of ants have been identified and that’s barely half of the 22,000 species that are estimated to be out there. And on top of that they’re a social creature with complex societies with divisions of labor and when they work together they have the ability to solve complex problems. It’s no wonder why they’ve been such a creature of interest for us, we are so very different yet so much alike. Yet they’re still not welcome at our picnics… go figure.
