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, $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.

`

And his idea of a
is the most serious policy idea that we must implement for
all Americans!

`

Now, more than ever,
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!

`

THAT is WHY
I put the above method of payment
in quotation marks!

`

So, for the people who cannot work in this pandemic...
...a check is much more than some “stimulus” to them...
...where isn’t just about 
ANY MONEY
is practically
a subject of
LIFE  or DEATH
to them...

`

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!

`

Hello! HELLLLLLOOO...!!!

`

At no point, under no circumstances of any kind, does there seem to be any measure
of sustainability...!

`

 I mean, WAKE UP, people...!

`

It really is

`

obscene that,

`

since the pandemic started,

`

there has been only 

`

*three 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,

`

in manipulating those photos I took of you.

`

You will be able to see what I see on my screen. 

`

I have more than enough artistic programs on

`

my computer for me to use

`

as you direct me on the style you want to be seen in.

`

What I have done:

`

You might have already seen my home page before.

`

You might be asking yourself what else can I 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 gallery video above, notice my sense of humor with my facial expressions in these photos here...

`

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

`

In 2016, I recorded myself and put those videos on YouTube and TV.

`

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 always 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...

`

...where 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:

`

40 x 60 Inch Canvas Label
40 x 60 inch Lois & Superman

`

Fans of the Superman movies may recognize the colorful illustration immediately above.

`

For those who do not know, that image on the canvas is pulled directly from a frame in the film Superman, made back in 1978.

`

I wanted to

`

go HUGE

`

in 2017 because of

`

my confidence

`

in producing canvas art.

`

I wondered what would

`

it be like to create

`

such a large picture.

`

I wondered what would

`

it be like to see

`

such a large picture.

`

So, for the biggest picture that I could make from Costco at the time,

`

...I thought the idea of a “larger than life” event,

`

of a life being saved by
some flying, mystery man...

`

...THIS was something to see.

`

And it still is!

`

With the art that you saw in the seconds long video above, the gallery on Facebook from 2015, 

`

 I also ordered this artwork of Superman in 2017 from Costco...

`

...and I am still amazed at how it has turned out, like it really is having a super man be as real as me...!

`

The frame from the 1978 movie is contained in this 47 second clip of 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 you an idea on the conversations I’ve had with people as I tried to generate interest

`

before this public release of my contract, which you can find at the end of this page.

`

On the shipping box label of the 40 x 60 art piece, 

`

you can clearly see the price I paid for it,

`

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 doing these kinds of things 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 do NOT have time
for such games.

`

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 scarce.

`

Meanwhile,

`

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.

`

`

could be another way of explaining

`

this philosophy of work and life.

`

Money or water... don't ignore Mother Nature!

`

Do you get it now ?

`

If we all need money to survive,

`

A policy of UBI 

`

should be

`

around the corner.

`

Anyway,

`

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.

`

2 out of 6,200

`

In the pie charts above and below, look at the difference between two people

`

 (me helping one other person) from 6,200 others above and from 62 others below.

`

This is the reason for the pie chart above and the pie chart below, to show these perspectives.

`

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.

`

2 out of 62

`

So even trying to serve 62 people in one year would be impossible for me.

`

Why?

`

Well, there are 52 weeks in a year, so I am unable to serve more people than 52 in one year,

`

as I can only serve one person per week.

`

But *ANY* ratio of people
is sized perfectly,

`

for many American citizens to contact their elected representation in the U.S. Congress.

`

Stick TOGETHER to WIN

`

Whether or not that you believe that your representative does not listen to you or care about your needs,

`

if you don't speak up,

`

you are probably right in your negative view of government...

`

...because you DON’T speak up!

`

Nobody has the capacity

`

to read minds.

`

Not even you, yourself,

`

have this ability.

`

But there are enough of us, however, that are optimistic and that are willing to see things through, because we can.

`

As humans, we have the right and the ability to change minds,

`

change hearts, to do the impossible,

`

simply because we can.

`

Here, let this story of one man,

`

a man formerly from Olympia,

`

prove this ALL to you,

`

that change isn't just possible,

`

it is necessary for

`

personal development.

`

`

Regardless,

`

whether he paid for the ticket

`

entirely by himself

`

or his family in Hawaii helped him,

`

this is the point...

`

He got

`

the opportunity

`

to go

`

to his family in

`

Hawaii

`

 even while being

`

homeless!

`

`

And to be this productive

`

while homeless 

`

is some serious

`

personal development!

`

`

If you do things,

`

if you create,

`

there is no limit

`

to your potential...!

`

`

When you create things,

`

...you will be wanted...

`

...you will be needed.

`

`

Creation.

`

It is the solution

`

to our lives.

`

`

`

I’m showing you

`

the path to

`

free your

`

own mind,

`

but you need to

`

take the first step

`

yourself.

`

`

Doing things of quality

`

in your Life

`

is important,

`

 and when you do those things,

`

 you have less interest

`

in what $50

`

actually means.

`

`

`

Do you wish to have

`

that mindset?

`

Then fill out my contract

`

at the bottom of this page.

`

Let’s see how art can

`

change your

`

LIFE.

`

`

that your income

`

cannot

`

start at $0,

`

`

that your income

`

must start at

`

$2,000 

`

per month.

`

If every single American can get a monthly “stimulus” of even $1.5k per month by the end of 2021,

`

we are well on our way to addressing the problems in our own homes, in our cities...

`

...in our entire nation.

`

Can I get you

`

to stand up for yourself...?

`

Can I get you

`

to stand up for your community...?

`

Can I get you
