Jessica Logsdon Kansas City Political Art



Jessica Logsdon is a Kansas City area artist, writer and publisher . . . Throughout this year she has created a series of drawings that poke fun at Mayor and City Council.

She also rune the Occupy KC Journal that's kind of a splinter publication supporting the local Occupy movement.

In her latest drawing she takes aim at Mayor Sly and Mayor Pro Tem Cindy Circo.

And while I don't know exactly what she's saying with this drawing, I still think this image is kinda clever.

More later . . .

  5. A toddler smearing their own shit on a tablecloth is better art than that. It might stink less too.

  6. The art is shit, but so are the subjects portrayed within it.
    Is it not then wonderfully appropriate?

    In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

    When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object.

    Art is a jealous mistress, and, if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.

    The artists must be sacrificed to their art. Like the bees, they must put their lives into the sting they give.

    Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions. Challenge us with incessant affirmatives. Don't waste yourself in rejection, or bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.

    In our fine arts, not imitation, but creation is the aim... The details, the prose of nature, he should omit, and give us only the spirit and splendour.

    The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it - so fine that we often are on the line and do not know it.

    The two terrors that discourage originality and creative living are fear of public opinion and undue reverence for one's own consistency.

    To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men – that is genius.

  45. Well come on you guys, you know she's right, Mayor Sly is a Womanizer, I mean come on just look at the guy, he's overweight, he wears glasses and a bow tie to dress up, he's middle aged, his hair is partially gray and he has those great laugh lines all over his face that some people would call wrinkes, the artist really did a nice job here gussying him up!

  48. Why the Fuck don't we know what these dumb shit politicians are even voting on? The Mayor and the city council men and women last year spent millions of dollars renovating their chambers to "modernize" and make all of the voting and discourses recorded and made available online....So where the fuck is the transparency now that all the money has been spent on upgrading the information online?? I never hear about anything they are voting on, from the star newspaper to the local news.

  49. It is time for the fat ass kansas city residents to get off their asses, out of front of their t.v.'s and their computers and IN city hall, to hold these mother fucker politicians accountable, until then we are all just frogs sitting in boiling water.

  50. The difficult part will be trying to keep it from turning violent as TKC so lovingly points out, 106 MURDERS, the economy will continue to go down the shitter and how is local government going to handle it?
