Why I have a blue hand
May 1st, 2005Between the hours of 12-6am Saturday morning a group of friends and I “took back the sidewalk” by painting a 24ft x 24ft firefox logo in the middle of the quad. We used 100% earth friendly materials: cornstarch, kool-aid, and water. Our process involved drawing a large grid with yarn and then chalking outlines for the different areas of paint. We only got talked to by campus police once and they were very understanding.

We all had different jobs. Some people were painting orange, some red, and some white. My job was to paint the ocean… instead of using paint brushes we used our hands (for the most part). Thus, my hand is blue.
