Russell Brand recently asked me to design the cover of the Nov. issue of the New Statesman which he guest edited. The theme of the issue is “a revolution of consciousness”. Since I’ve known Russell, I’ve been impressed with his intellect and his ability to merge low-brow entertainment with high-brow provocation. Russell has done several projects and interviews lately that display his wit and social conscience. I have been impressed with Russell’s courage and I’ve been meaning to re-post some of his finest moments. Conveniently, my friend David DeGraw, one of the forces behind the 99% concept and Occupy, put together a great post on Evolve Society(for which I created the logo). I love what David wrote and what Russell has been up to, so please check it out!
