I used large, chisel top Sharpies to do both the pointillism and the solid lettering. Here are the signs at the demonstration, where I had the honor of shaking hands with Senator Blumenthal. Photos by Brian Becker.

Protest Art - March for Science
The March for Science was held at Minuteman Park in Hartford on April 14, 2018. I made two signs for the event, put them back to back on a stick, so that I could carry them both! Here are the signs I made:
Protest Art - Gun Sense
As part of keeping busy during my retirement, I have been protesting.
I have been very moved by the loss of life from shootings across our nation, and so have joined the local chapter of Mom’s Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. My first protest was March for our Lives at the Capital in Hartford on March 24, 2018. Here I am at the heavily attended event with the sign “not one more”, which is the statement used at Sandy Hook.

This sign has also been used on Wear Orange Day in Niantic on June 3, 2018:
