Doña Sebastiana

Sabrina & Corina by Kali Fajardo-Anstine shares any new viewer what its like from her eyes and others. During the first chapter titled “Sugar Babies” I was quickly drawn in when the young boys accidently dug up some bones near their town. Further long within the chapter, it was Robbie and his visions that drew in my inspiration for this final work. When Robbie was explaining how he wasn’t scared when he discovered the bones but more so scared of the skeleton lady that was at the foot of hid bed one night. His grandmother explained that he might have seen Doña Sebastiana. In other words, lady reaper. I went and did some more research about this lady reaper and found out that  . . . “She is more a symbol of mortality and penance, a bleak reminder of our fragile and sinful state. The Aztec figure known as the “Lady of the Dead,” presided over such celebrations. . .”* This lady reaper is known for protection and watches over those who need it. With this notion I wanted to create what I would think Doña Sebastiana would look like. I also wanted to incorporate some natural Colorado elements.

If I were to take more time on this piece, I would mess around some more with watercolor. It is a hard element and I feel like I could have done better for the boarder and her head piece/hair. I also wish my photos would have picked up on the gold highlights more then presenting them in a pale yellow tone. Over all I am pleased with this outcome and Happy to finish strong.

It was an interesting semester, but I am happy to be apart of this class and still be able to see everyone's work. I hope everyone enjoys their break and stays safe. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧

For the artwork I did a mix-media. I used watercolor, ink wash, acrylic paint, and pen ink.

Puppets Extras - Dixie(Confederacy) + Disclaimer

Disclaimer - The inclusion of this character is in no way condoning the hideous actions of bigots and racists alike. Hence why the character goes by the nickname Dixie instead of "The Confederate States of America". This entry is to highlight some of the History surrounding the conflict and a bit of reasoning as to why Dixie is included in the story at all.

I personally support the Black Lives Matter movement and hold all those participating in it in high esteem. This character is in no way representing the views of racist bigots who are against this movement for equal rights. Dixie is included as a representation of the split in American Politics and the secession of the southern states that occurred during the Civil War, and nothing more. This is why is current drawings for Dixie, he has the flag for the Confederacy and not the battle flag.

The reason Dixie (Confederate) is still around is that his flag is still flown in the southern US and his influence is still seen across the southern regions of the United States. That and America refused to kill his brother, even in the midst of the Civil War.

Dixie is not racist nor bigoted, even if racism is what's being represented when his flag is flown now. He may not show it often, but he is ashamed for what his battle flag has come to represent. He was almost completely exiled from the family after the war ended. However, after the southern states were welcomed back, and he changed his mindset, he was taken back too, and he has made sure not to waste his chance. Now, he acts as an uncle to the states.

It took a while to connect with the northern states, but now he has a home with his nieces and nephews.

It must also be remembered that the Civil War was not originally about abolishing slavery. During the period, racism and discrimination ran rampant all throughout the country and is so ingrained in American history that people are still fighting the effects today. The Southern states did not believe that they were getting proper representation, that is why they seceded. It was not because of a chance of slaves being freed. The freedom of slaves was only used as a threat to force them to rejoin the Union.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"At the outset of that conflict, Lincoln insisted that the war was not about freeing enslaved people in the South but about preserving the Union. "

"When one of [Lincon's] generals, John C. Frémont, put Missouri under martial law, declaring that Confederate sympathizers would have their property seized, and their enslaved people would be freed (the first emancipation proclamation of the war), Lincoln directed him to reverse that policy, and later removed him from command."

"'My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union and is not either to save or to destroy slavery," [Lincon] wrote in an editorial published in the Daily National Intelligencer in August 1862. "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.'"

"On September 19, 1862, Union troops halted the advance of Confederate forces led by Gen. Robert E. Lee near Sharpsburg, Maryland, in the Battle of Antietam. Three days later, Lincoln went public with the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which called on all Confederate states to rejoin the Union within 100 days—by January 1, 1863—or their slaves would be declared 'thenceforward, and forever free.'"

"On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that as of January 1, 1863, all enslaved people in the states currently engaged in rebellion against the Union "shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." " Keep in mind the Civil War started April 12, 1861

I discovered him on twitter from a viral tweet, after someone spotted him on the news and posted it. In the replies, someone talked about him and linked his website. He is a very accomplished photojournalist that covered many things over the last 5 decades like the Iranian revolution, Olympic Games, or US presidents. He often takes black and whites, and uses a very old and large camera for presidential portraits, which was what the people on twitter were talking about. He doesn’t exclusively use this camera, but I think these pictures are the most unique of his.

There are a lot of questions about what will happen when Donald J. Trump is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on Friday. What is going to happen to the Affordable Care Act and will anything replace it? Is the wall actually happening? What about the Supreme Court?

Here’s another important one: Are sneaker prices going to go through the roof?

Both the Republican-controlled legislature and the president-elect have put forth sweeping changes to the way goods flow in and out of the U.S., with a focus on making it much more expensive to import foreign-made items (and, the theory goes, to incentivize American-made goods).

And this is, to put it mildly, an issue of importance for footwear. Less than 2 percent of the footwear consumed in America (in fact, 1.6 percent in 2015) is made here, according to Nate Herman, SVP of supply chain for the American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA). Even though the domestic production of brands like New Balance, Wolverine, Red Wing, LL Bean, and more equaled 39.3 million pairs in 2015, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the 2.46 billion pairs that were sold here that year. Most sneakers sold in the U.S. are made in China (75 percent) and Vietnam (13 percent).

Here’s why that matters. The current tax plan being proposed by the House GOP calls for border adjustments. In essence, companies currently importing goods into the U.S. can deduct their manufacturing cost before calculating their taxes. Under the proposed plan, importers—including every major footwear firm—would no longer be able to take that deduction, meaning they’d be paying taxes on a significantly larger sum.

Of course, this is no sure thing. Trump has said as recently as last week (in a story out Monday night in the Wall Street Journal) that he opposes border adjustment measures. He has proposed raising tariffs on all imported goods, and raising the tariffs on China-made goods to 45 percent. (Right now, China-made footwear is taxed at rates that vary from as low as 8.5 percent for men’s leather dress shoes to 67 percent for particularly low-end canvas shoes. The average, Herman said, is 10.7 percent—significantly higher than the average consumer good, where the average tariff is 1.5 percent, per the AAFA.)

Brands have largely kept mum on what they’re expecting. In a call last month with analysts, Nike CEO Mark Parker expressed what many brands and industry leaders have said: at this point, no one really knows what could happen. “I believe it’s really too early to determine what specific changes may be proposed. But we are looking forward to working with the new administration, and Congress, regarding those potential reforms,” Parker said, adding, “I want to quickly add that Nike continues to believe in free and fair trade.”

The disagreements between Trump and the Republican Congress have added an extra layer of uncertainty to an already unclear picture, but most experts agree that if either plan is put into effect, the short-term result is undeniable. Or, as Mitch Kummetz, an analyst for B. Riley and Co., put it: “Prices will rise. I don’t know when, I don’t know how much.” Herman agreed.

The AAFA’s estimates suggest that the rise could be 10 percent on the low end, or as high as 25 percent, depending on the individual company, the individual shoe, and a number of other factors. (See below for our chart on what that looks like for your favorite models.) And some brands, like direct-to-consumer based Greats, said that they’ll be able to keep rises even lower, since they don’t sell through retail stores who also need to make a profit.

“We don’t take that kind of [retail] markup, which is a huge competitive advantage,” Greats founder and CEO Ryan Babenzien said. “We can be a much more nimble, price-flexible brand than big publicly traded company.”

Timing-wise, it again depends on what the eventual decision is on when price changes might happen. Herman said a border adjustment, as part of a larger budget negotiation, wouldn’t be likely to be passed before late in the year. A presidential action like imposing tariffs, on the other hand (which Trump has indicated would be high on his list of priorities), “could be something you could see affecting imports within 30 days of an announcement, and then at store shelves within 15 to 30 days after that.”

Looking longer-term, there are even more unknowns. Could the new trade policies spur investment in a domestic manufacturing base? It’s certainly possible, although a multi-year (maybe multi-decade) endeavor. Shorter-term, companies could experiment, and use less-expensive materials and manufacturing techniques that would hit the same retail price points as before. (It’s also worth pointing out that almost every product we use daily would be affected by these policies: electronics, clothing, cars, oil, toys, pharmaceuticals. So a rise in sneaker prices wouldn’t be happening in a vacuum.)

But bottom line? “We can speculate on hypotheticals, but we don’t really know,” Kummetz said.

“Again, the details are a little scant right now, but based on what we’ve been told so far, I believe this could be devastating to our industry,” he said. “But we’re in unprecedented times.”
