think tanks

The news headlines today said eight more councils have been "drought declared".  Ironically it was raining at the time

Here are three ideas that roll into one, quite nicely.


1. I know of thousands of square metres of vacant public "art space" in Brisbane. - water tanks.

2.Not an original idea, it is from NYC, have a look at "think Tanks" here is the link think tanks new york. Heaps of famous artists in New York have been commissioned to illustrate the water tanks of the city to draw attention to the issue of water in New York and in the world.

3. I am really proud of the way Brisbane minded it's water in the last big drought. Everyone knew how much water their household used, having that brown lawn was a badge of honour. It was the talk around the dinner party table. I think the folks of Brisbane really proved that if we all pull together we can achieve something, even if it means personal sacrifices. Remember the four minute showers, level four water restrictions.

Let's do this, there are so many great little graphic design firms and artists in Brisbane. Let's show off our water awareness through some funky art and illustration and grafitti.
