A little light please

 

At first I created this design for National Random Acts of Light Day. Then I realized that National Random Acts of Light Day is trying to cheer up people with cancer and I quickly deleted the post on BlueSky and Instagram.  I could only image the response I would have got by encouraging people with cancer to walk into the light. 

This illustrates the challenges of humor and not paying attention to details. I'm trying to be witty, not callouse. 

That being said, I've been experimenting on Blue Sky with not blatantly showing t-shirts for sale and trying just to get people's attention with a quick joke.  For example, today is Boy George's 65th birthday (can you believe it). Ironic that he shares a birthday with the Orange Menace in the White House. But I suggested that perhaps Boy George should change his name to Ol' Man George and that would be fitting karma.  Then I posted my design for Carmen Chameleon.

Of course, the joke only works if you are familiar with Boy George's song "Karma Chameleon" from the 1980s.  And you also need to have some idea who Carmen Miranda was. 

I should have just posted this image on Blue Sky instead.

But I suppose it would have been bad karma. Or Bad Carmen.
