R.I.P. HOWARD ZINN
We’re very sad to report that Howard Zinn, the brilliant civil rights activist and political scientist, passed away yesterday at age 87. Zinn is best known for his book “A People’s History of the United States,” which told the story of the country through the eyes of the disenfranchised: women, minorities and the working class. The book was released in 1980, when most of America was suffering from Reagan fever, and has since served as strong historical evidence against the notion that big business and its political allies want to let their prosperity “trickle down” to the masses. It has sold over a million copies to date. If you’ve never read it, we highly recommend checking it out.
Last year, our team at Studio Number One had the opportunity to do some work on Zinn’s History Channel television special, “The People Speak.” Some of us even got to meet him – one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We wish the best for his loved ones, and we take comfort ourselves in the belief that his ideas will live on forever.
A message from Antonino D’Ambrosio:
The passing of Howard Zinn makes this a sad for myself and everyone at La Lutta. As some of you know, I came to work and become friends with Zinn over the past few years. We had planned to do a few publics together around my new book and film in the spring and fall 2010. I’ve contributed a tribute to him, “Howard Zinn: Historian of the Human Spirit,” published by The Progressive. You can read here: http://www.progressive.org/
AIPAS,
Antonino

Eye Alert Explained
The Eye Alert poster is my response to the state of healthcare reform in the U.S. I’m disappointed that instead of focusing on saving lives and improving lives, healthcare reform is succumbing to corporate-fueled fear and disinformation. The healthcare industry is the largest in America, yet 30 million people —10% of our population — are left without the means to access medical care.
We know that something needs to be done about our broken (or nonexistent) system, or costs will continue to skyrocket and more and more people will be left without access to healthcare. It’s a moral issue and a human rights issue, but it looks like the people who have stood up for it have been outvoted by corporations and their lobbyists. It’s a sad day in America.

Haring Journals X Shepard
I was honored to be asked to write a new foreword for the Keith Haring Journals. I’ve always admired Haring on many levels and I think he paved the way for the current crop of street artists who have crossed into the galleries and other areas of consumer culture. These journals demonstrate Haring’s intellect, drive, and humanity. I highly recommend checking this updated edition out. I will be including a fine art portrait of Haring based on a great photo by Patrick McMullan in my Deitch projects show opening May 1. There may be a screen print edition of the image as well. Stay tuned.

Relief Effort in Haiti
To support the relief effort in Haiti, Studio Number One has created a benefit t-shirt (designed by Casey Ryder), with 100% of the retail cost ($15) going to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, the U.N. children’s charity that is currently providing medical supplies, water and temporary shelter in Haiti. While there are many aid organizations doing great work on the ground in Haiti right now, UNICEF has an especially critical mission: locating and caring for children who have been separated from their families since the earthquake.
Click here to contribute to UNICEF by purchasing the Studio Number One “Haiti” shirt via CafePress.
Additionally, we’ve provided Casey’s artwork to Music for Relief, a nonprofit founded by members of the band Linkin Park to raise funds for disaster relief around the world. Music for Relief has created a compilation of previously unreleased tracks from Alanis Morissette, The All-American Rejects, Dave Matthews Band, Enrique Iglesias, Hoobastank, Kenna, Linkin Park, Lupe Fiasco, Peter Gabriel and Slash, and the proceeds from downloads of these tracks will go directly to Haiti relief efforts.
