On the Job



On Saturday, April 16, Charley Carroll shows off Banksyland merchandise at the VIP event for the opening of the exhibit in Portland, Ore. Carroll got the job through TaskRabbit. He was originally hired to put together tables, but her ended up being a big part of the project. He set up projectors, monitors, and A.V. equipment to make the interactive experience possible for visitors. 

Banksyland is an exhibit of artwork by street artist Banksy, who's true identity has never been revealed. Some of the installation pieces are actual pieces pulled from their original outside location and are on loan. Others are photos or recreations. The exhibit also has inspirational quotes scattered among the art. 

Banksyland is located in The Factor Building at 226 SE Madison St, Portland, OR, 97214. Tickets are available online at banksyland.com. The exhibit is open daily from 11am-8pm through May 8, 2022. After that, the exhibit will go on a 22 city international touring exhibition stopping next in Honolulu, HI.

My name is Alicen, and I'm returning to college after staying home with my kids for the last decade. They are 15 and 18, and I homeschooled them both up through 8th grade. Now that they both attend public high school, I have time to devote to starting a new career. I am working towards an AAS in Graphic Design at LBCC. I took an  entrepreneurship  business  class last year, but I want to learn more about marketing. I will likely work as a freelance graphic designer or start my own business once I get my degree, so any information I can gather before then   would help me there.  I love to paint and draw, especially watercolor. I've taught myself with YouTube videos and trial and error. I loved the photography class I took last year, and I just got a Nikon Z5 for my birthday. I'm enjoying experimenting, and photography is becoming my new favorite hobby.

Lexus Partners with Marvel's Eternals

This article on PR Newswire caught my eye because my family and I are big Marvel fans. We’re contemplating a group costume for Halloween, so ideas are welcome. I don’t want to paint myself green, or Gamora would be my first pick. Here’s the lowdown: Lexus has partnered with Marvel Studios in their new ad campaign. The Marvel film Eternals will open on November 5, and fans get an early look at one of the characters, a superhero named Kingo, in the two minute piece titled Parking Spot . Although the commercial features a superhero, he grapples with a very human problem. Kingo, played by Kumail Nanjiani, is searching for a safe place to park his new Lexus, although most of us don’t face this task while the serpentining through a war zone. In the article, Vinay Shahani, Lexus vice president of marketing, is quoted saying, "There's a natural synergy between Marvel Studios and Lexus. We both go all-in to deliver amazing experiences.” In another article on the Marketing Dive websi...
