Carl Bond’s plan
for Covid-19 relief;
the Thurston County edition
`
`
Hello and Welcome!
`
I am a photographer and I am looking for people to hire for $50 an hour for one hour of labor.
`
Please see the form at the bottom of this page and fill it out completely if you are interested in joining this revolution.
`
Please do not fill out my contract if you are not a resident of Olympia, Lacey or Tumwater.
`
Due to the ongoing concerns of Covid-19, I will not be accepting applications from those who live outside of Thurston County.
`
I guarantee that I will be methodical in finding the appropriate people for this job.
`
The only requirements for qualifying are that you must live within Olympia, Lacey or Tumwater and you must have some sort of ID (it can be expired, I don't care), beyond completing the contract completely.
`
Why I am doing this:
`
I am in the #YangGang. I've been a huge supporter of Andrew Yang, supporting him even before Covid-19 had struck the world.
`
People should be getting a “stimulus check”
of at least $2,000 a month.
`
True, some people are working...
`
But not everyone is working in this crisis!
`
And because not everyone is working, it is hard to support an economy like the United States on just the limited amount of working employees currently available.
`
This is
NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!
`
It really is obscene that in the past eleven months, there have been only two payments delivered to Americans!
`
Hence, that is why this page was created.
`
It is for you to learn about me, about how we might be able to
solve the challenges we face in America, together.
`
All I offer are ideas, a concept of sustainability.
`
Whether or not there is something that can be gained from my ideas of sustainability, a common, shared goal, this is something that remains to be seen.
`
`
What I will do:
`
After taking pictures of you, I will seek your direction, even as we socially distance ourselves from one another through a Zoom call, as I manipulate the photos I took of you.
`
You will be able to see what I see on my screen, I have more than enough programs on my computer to use as you direct me on the style you want to see in.
`
What I have done:
`
You might have already seen my home page before.
`
You might be asking yourself what else I can do.
`
“What does art look like as a finished item?”
`
Well, here are some photos of my art on Facebook, in a gallery I participated in, back in 2015:
`

`
Those canvas prints are ones that I still have today:
`



`
As in Facebook, notice my sense of humor with my facial expressions in the photos above...
`
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
`
In 2016, I recorded myself and put those videos on YouTube.
`
I was volunteering at TCTV (Thurston County Television) at the time, which was becoming TCM (Thurston County Media).
`
I wanted digital art to become understood and accessible to anyone that wanted to play around with it. This is why the videos were recorded, that is why the videos are still available today.
`
`
The frustrating thing about this was that I wanted this to be an ongoing thing on the television channels of TCM, but they wouldn't broadcast video that they had already broadcast, they wanted fresh, new video to present.
`
Even on a weekly or monthly scale, to keep creating video like this seemed to be an arduous process to me...
`
...like I would be constantly reinventing the wheel... over and over I would demonstrate digital art?
`
Sorry, it just seemed to be more and more a waste of time, the more I thought about doing such a thing...
`
Well, in 2017, I felt particularly bold.
`
I wanted to do a big piece of art, the biggest size that I could order from Costco.
`
For those who don't know, Costco is a bulk shopping warehouse center, a place that can be a place for many people’s shopping needs.
`
This is what I came up with, a size that
Costco, sadly, no longer offers:
`


`
Fans of the Superman movies may recognize the colorful illustration immediately above.
`
For those who do not know, the canvas picture is pulled directly from a frame in the film Superman, made back in 1978.
`
I wanted to go bold in 2017 because of my confidence in producing canvas art.
`
I wondered what would it
be to create such a large picture.
`
I wondered what would it
be to see such a large picture.
`
So, for the biggest picture that I could make from Costco at the time, I thought the larger than life concept of just having your life saved by some flying, mystery man was what I needed to see.
`
So, as with the art that you saw in the video above, the gallery on Facebook from 2015, I also ordered this 2017 order from Costco and was amazed at how it turned out, like it really was having a super man before me...!
`
The frame from the 1978 movie is contained in this 47 second clip from the film:
`
`
I want to be transparent as much as possible.
`
I don't just do this to show you what I can do.
`
I also want to give an idea to you on the conversations I’ve had with people as I tried to generate interest before this public release of my contract, shared at the end of this page.
`
On the shipping box label of the 40 x 60 art piece, you can see the price tag, basically $280.
`
One person was inspired to ask me to be paid that much, $280, since I had afforded that before. No problem, right?
`
WRONG.
`
This is a BIG problem.
`
Not only will this result in the automatic removal of me working with you, I will keep a record of such communication coming from you, for my future reference.
`
I am not your personal bank.
`
I am not your personal lender.
`
I am one person.
`
But with this page, can I change the world?
`
Yes, for some people,
money is hard to come by.
`
I have a job.
`
But that doesn't mean I will freely dispense $50 to whomever requests the money from me.
`
What I’m doing is trying to
change one wallet at a time.
`
What this page is doing is
changing one mind at a time.
`
I wonder who this
page might inspire.
`
Not just in my city.
`
Not just in my county.
`
but I hope, throughout
`
the entire United States.
`
Consider the population of just one locality in America at 6,200 people, according to one website.
`

`
I want to illustrate the difference between two people (me helping one other person) from 6,200 others and from 62 others.
`
This the reason for pie chart
above and the pie chart below.
`
The pie chart below offers a different ratio, to show how immense the pie chart above is.
`
The pie chart below shows two people out of 62 others.
