Terry Acebo Davis sent this artistic token of goodwill to the Mark Weiss 2012 Palo Alto City Council campaign. In fact, she entered this collage –comprised of words and phrases mostly out of context clipped from numerous other election season collateral –into an art show at Works Gallery in San Jose.

The illustration was donated by Robert Syrett and Terry Acebo Davis. I guess this was my “October Surprise” or my Halloween Trick/Treat. I also found under my pillow –left by either Gerald Rafshoon or the Tooth Fairy, but not Shepard Fairey — about 100 little buttons with this image. I am running a minimalist campaign and will feel this is hugely satisfying if I can find homes for all the little buttons.
