#ThickTrunkTuesday #StreetArt #Maine

October 2024, Peaks Island, Maine. Three years ago there was a wild Nor'Easter that swept through the Portland area. A large tree came down leaving this stump that a local sculptor turned into a fabulous octopus. Former stump-now-octopus and its creator are shown in the attached photo.

The artist is Doug Smith, and he lives on Peaks Island. Fun news story here: newscentermaine.com/article/ne…

In the foreground is an octopus sculpted out of a tree stump. In the background is the local sculptor who created this work of art. He is wearing a baseball cap and work gloves and looking down.

Among the endorsers are Maine’s Democratic U.S. Reps. Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden, who are both running for reelection and have previously supported other campaign finance reform efforts in Congress. “Corporations and the ultrarich have drowned out the voice of the American people, spending billions of dollars to elect candidates who would further line the pockets of big business,” Pingree wrote in a statement to Maine Morning Star. “The power should be in the hands of everyday voters, not corporations.
