As some of you already know, my son Armando Jr. (also an AW artist) is a very qualified technician in the fields of image and sound. He was the responsible one of the technical part of this event at Santiago de Compostela (Spain) --------------------------------------------- Iconic landmarks around the world were illuminated with the End Polio Now message the week of 23 February in honor of Rotary's 105th anniversary.

Everything one can do to spread the message to end Polio around the world, is great. Didn't know Polio was still a threat. I remember being vaccinated in school when I was 8 I think and I have one of those skin-bubbles on the top of my right shoulder to remind me lol! Great message Armando, and you must be very proud your son contributed to it. Like father like son eh? Hugs.

Artist Reply: Not sure about polio but I remember those skin-bubbles due to smallpox vaccination. My mother had those skin-bubbles. I also was vaccinated (smallpox) when I was a kid in our postwar period. Difficult times, I also remember the doctor used a fountain pen :-) to cut my skin twice, but no traces on my shoulder.

VERY GOOD WORK, ARMANDO. IN THE U.S., POLIO HAS BEEN IRADICATED. NOT SO IN OTHER PLACES, I GUESS.

Nice job, Armando! It is sort of disturbing to see historical landmarks turned into billboards, but THAT is the point, isn't it? Monumental effort!

Artist Reply: Hi, Mighty Jerry :-) I guess you still didn't see the cartoon I made few days ago. Please check out the latest images on my portfolio. Since I didn't ask for permission, let me know if you want I'll delete it. Hugs from Spain.
Artist Reply: Forgot. Those images have the accurate impact just nbecause they are shown on most impressive architecture. After all, thereisn' damage: it's only light.
