Democrats are likely to nominate Amy Acton as their nominee in the Ohio Governor's race.

As the Director of Ohio's Health Department, Acton oversaw the state's response to COVID in 2020.

She played a similar role at the state level to that played by Anthony Fauci at the federal level.

Judge Dredd canvas I painted in 2017. During this period I painted a lot cartoon related canvases. I used outlines from an ACT graffiti I painted in 1992. #judgedredd #act #acton #stylewriting #art #blackandwhite #history #recycling

Good to know this one's still going strong, so thank you John Edwards for photo/update.

Two layers of fading painted signs on the gable end of a terrace of houses.

Description/notes from the book:

The earlier sign on this palimpsest is a privilege for Spratt’s, on Arthur Henry Payne’s food and seed store, based here in 1926. Spratt’s was founded in 1861 by the American James Spratt and remained active until 2008. From 1866 he employed Charles Cruft, who set up dog shows to promote the company. These continue today as Crufts.

In 1899 Spratt opened what was then the world’s largest pet-food factory, in Poplar. The original architectural lettering can still be seen there, but this was superseded in 1936 

when Max Field-Bush designed a series of popular ‘calligrams’ (calligraphic pictograms) for the firm. Used until the 1970s, these spelled out the brand’s name in the shape of animals that might eat their products.

The most recent layer on this sign is for the corn merchant J. Gunn & Co., which was here in the late 1920s. Gunn’s ran fifty stores by 1938 and manufactured at the nearby Actona Biscuit Works. These took their name from the borough of Acton’s motto, Floreat Actona, which means ‘May Acton flourish.’
