Nobody doubts the impact of the right graphic. It can make a huge difference in a campaign or struggle. That's why we wanted to let you know about the work of veteran East Bay printmaker Doug Minkler.

Thirty-year veteran poster-maker Doug Minkler would like to invite the Media Alliance community to receive his quarterly outreach announcement letter highlighting his newest work and some timely older work. His free graphics web site offers his colorful art as a high resolution pdf file suitable for home printers as well as small presses. These graphics, which reproduce nicely on 8.5"x 11" glossy photo paper, can be used to assist those who are trying to further social justice issues. They can also be copied and posted in lunch rooms, union halls and community centers.

Many well known organizations have commissioned Doug to create graphics such as the: International Longshore Workers Union, Rain Forest Action Network, SF Mime Troupe, American Civil Liberties Union, Lawyers Guild, Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, United Auto Workers, Africa Information Network, Ecumenical Peace Union, ADAPT, Cop Watch, Street Sheet, Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan and Veterans for Peace.

By making his artwork known to the Media Alliance community, he hopes that other organizations will commission him to create posters that will support their efforts. Also, his outreach letter offers his silk screen prints for sale and announces his Sunday morning art class for kids, Drawing the Unusual, held in his studio in Berkeley.

You have permission to use this work. Using the graphic is not dependent on a fee---but if your budget allows please send your desperately needed financial compensation so that Doug can continue to send you these high quality masterpieces.
