The Situation
A disappears.
He is accused of crimes but not formally charged.
He is well known and generally well regarded among many artists and critics and art collectors and journalists and architects and politicians and lawyers and government officials and political activists and blackjack players.
He is well known and poorly regarded among some other artists and critics and journalists and architects and politicians and lawyers and government officials and intelligence officers and police investigators.
Not too many other people really know who he is.
One reason those who dislike A dislike him is because he keeps pointing out that widespread corruption contributed significantly to the deaths of many impoverished schoolchildren in a major natural disaster.
Some who dislike him worry more people who don’t know who he is or what he thinks about the deaths and disaster and corruption will find out. They seem to be the same people behind his disappearance.
Many who regard A well protest his disappearance.
Those who regard him poorly tell them to shut up and mind their own damn business. Those who think highly of A accuse those who don’t of politically motivated kidnapping. Those who think poorly of A accuse those who don’t of politically motivated meddling.
The blackjack players are upset.
The Protest Concept
Make and sell special decks of cards featuring images of A’s work. Sponsor charity blackjack tournaments around the world. Invite people who think favorably of A and who share his concern for those living in the area affected by the major natural disaster.
Donate all money raised from both sales and tournaments to help build stronger and safer schools for children in region affected by that disaster.
