We wanted to do something different this year for our holiday cards to clients and business associates. We wanted the piece to be unique, made of recycled material, and convey our sincerest wishes for a “Happy and Peaceful New Year.” Here are some photos of the result – a paper sculpture of sorts we called “Doves in Winter”

Although the piece was pretty straightforward to assemble, with labels stamped on the ends and their corresponding slots, we also included a set of instructions and a diagram for good measure.

BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR!

Above: A button I recently designed for the Sacred Heart Peace Community in Camden, New Jersey — the poorest city in the US, twice declared “America’s Most Dangerous City” (2004, 2005, Morgan Quitno Corp.), and also the city where I was born.

The Sacred Heart Peace Community is a volunteer group that includes my mother. It was formed in 2002 “to stand on the side of life with all the struggling people of Camden and of the world” and to create opportunities for local residents to “participate in resistance to war and all forms of violence.”

Peace to Camden and the world.
