Petition and Assembly
The full text of the First Amendment is as follows:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Here is my illustration for the last part.
This concludes my First Amendment illustrations! I will compile them into a slideshow as soon as I remember how.

24 x 36
Well, I have come to the end of my 24" x 36" drawing pad. Here is a select number of projects that I or my children made with this pad. I hope the next pad is as good to us.

LEGO Guggenheim
LEGO has introduced new line of architectural models called, appropriately, LEGO Architecture. My favorites are the LEGO Guggenheim and LEGO Falling Water. I didn't see an official LEGO Le Corbusier set, but I did find this example on-line. (Only my friend David will understand the Le Corbusier reference. Hi, David.)

Subway Update
I did not see the Beatrice Coron poster on my commute yesterday - instead I saw ads for Budweiser and CUNY. However, it occurred to me that it would be fun to make my own Arts for Transit poster. Perhaps a bride on the way to her wedding, standing alone in a subway car while everyone else sits and reads their Kindles. Or maybe a full rat wedding being performed while everyone else sits and reads their Kindles. Did I mention that I've seen a lot of Kindles lately?
Regardless, I need to finish my First Amendment project first. Only one illustration left!

Beatrice Coron
I really like the new Arts for Transit poster that I saw today on the subway. It appears to be a silhouette cutout of a most imaginative skyline. The train was crowded, so I wasn't able to examine it closely, but I did notice that it was by artist Beatrice Coron. See here for more about her work. I will try to get a closer look at the poster tomorrow.

No Content-Based Regulation of the Press
In Miami Herald Publishing Co. v. Tornillo, the Supreme Court overturned a Florida state law which required newspapers that criticized political candidates to also publish the candidates' response. The state claimed it had passed the law to ensure journalistic responsibility. The court found that the First Amendment mandates freedom, not responsibility. This is my illustration of the ruling.
I have only one more First Amendment illustration to complete. Up next: Abstract Nouns!
