In a world where nobody can seem to agree on anything, where everyone is on edge and instantly ready to argue and even fight to get their point across, I got to thinking about the greatest disagreements, arguments, and rivals of all time.
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 a lot of help from Harper and my wife, we came up with "Project Get-Along"! It's not meant to be overly profound or deep - I understand that a lot of these characters even ended up being on the same side in the end. 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!
