I've added different options for this design for all you Rosa Parks fans! Digital print honoring Rosa Parks, TAKE UP SPACE, part of the perSISTERS series. I print the inkjet prints on my Epson large format archival printer in my studio. The color is very fine. I trim it and package it in a crystal clear sleeve with cardboard backing and information included in the sleeve, on the back. The larger print I ship in a tube. The offset 8 x 10 print is from a previous year's calendar and has some printing on the back. Also available on stretched canvas which is ready to hang and shipped from a third party fabricator: please allow 1 week to 10 days for delivery. The folded blank inside greeting card is printed offset with velvet matte finish. The sticker is vinyl. The magnet is shiny wrapped metal. I have produced a line of textile pieces based on this design (scarves, bags, garments). Convo me to learn more about those.

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an activist in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused to obey the bus driver’s order to give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger, after the white section was filled. Parks’ act of defiance and the Montgomery bus boycott became important symbols of the modern Civil Rights Movement. She became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation. She organized and collaborated with civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a new minister in town at the time.
When she made this protest, Parks was secretary of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP. She had recently attended the Highlander Folk School, a Tennessee center for training activists for workers’ rights and racial equality. She acted as a private citizen “tired of giving in.” Although widely honored in later years, she also suffered for her act; she was fired from her job as a seamstress in a local department store, and received death threats for years afterwards.
After retirement, Parks wrote her autobiography and continued to insist that the struggle for justice was not over and there was more work to be done. Parks received national recognition, including the NAACP’s 1979 Spingarn Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal, and a posthumous statue in the United States Capitol’s National Statuary Hall. Upon her death in 2005, she was the first woman and third non-US government official to lie in honor at the Capitol Rotunda.

DESIGN NOTE The design is based on a photograph of Ms. Parks on a Montgomery bus on December 21, 1956, the day Montgomery’s public transportation system was legally integrated. It was staged by the newspaper. (AP/Montgomery Advertiser)
The stripes in this design are inspired by the shirt Ms Parks wears in a photo from 1955.
