Day 2 - Favorite Animal

  Today I was asked to think of my favorite animal and use it as my inspiration. I settled on the elephant.
Everyone knows the elephant is the largest land mammal on earth but did you also know that they have no natural predators? Elephants also have the largest brain of any animal on the planet, weighing in at approximately 11 lbs. With all that grey matter upstairs, you know the elephants have got to be up to something good!
  Their social circles consist of mainly females, making them a matriarch-oriented team, and I believe, some of the most successful neo-feminists out there today. Also, they're herbivores, which means they're eco-conscious too! Elephants are highly emotional creatures (why do you think Eeyore was modeled after them?) and they never forget! When a group stumbles upon another elephant's remains, they spend hours inspecting and smelling the bones. They seem to not only recognize family members that have passed, but experience grief over it.
  Highly revered across Asia and celebrated as a god, Ganesh, within Hinduism, the elephant, in a word, is 'cool.' Let's be more like the elephants, guys.

Day 1 - Start Small

The goal was to make something that could fit into the palm of my hand using only materials found in my immediate surroundings. This piece was an "installment" of sorts that existed for about 3-5 minutes after I completed its construction. It was displayed in the microwave of my work's breakroom.

'A Disrespected Microwave'

What Does It Mean?  It's employee satire. Something only myself and like-minded coworkers will appreciate. A slap in the face for the so-called higher-ups who are responsible for such ridiculous MicrosoftWord postings as, "DO NOT bring magazines into the breakroom unless you have paid for them!" and the always classic, "Please be respectful of others and clean up after yourselves. This includes messes in the microwave!" Because, as we all know, the best way to micro manage your people is to belittle and degrade them daily by treating them like they're all blubbering, inept, 5 year olds. In the end, it's the microwaves that end up suffering.
