If these characters can get along, we all can.
I was recently watching: “The Office” with my daughter, Harper when she asked me: “Dad, do Dwight and Jim hate each other?” I thought about it for a minute and told her: “Well, I don’t think they HATE each other, I think they’d probably consider themselves to be rivals more than anything.”A 20-minute conversation on the meaning of “rivals” led me to ponder an art project. I tried to figure out a fun and positive way to show how some of the greatest characters from TV/movies, sports, pop culture and even history could put aside their differences and unite for the good of the world.
With help from Harper and my wife, we came up with “Project Get-Along”! It’s not meant to be overly profound or deep – and I understand that a lot of these characters even ended up being on the same side when it was all said and done. The artwork’s intention is to simply bring a smile to your face and realize that we truly CAN all get along. Okay, so we technically shouldn’t hold hands for a while but we can all smile, be happy and be nice to each other!
