RIP Screaming Mad George 1956-2026
A heartfelt farewell to Screaming Mad George (a.k.a. Joji Tani), who left us on February 10, 2026. He was my student at SVA in 1977. I was teaching media communications, and to involve the students in the art of creating a spectacle, we took to the streets. The idea was to use a diversionary tactic to grab public attention.
The students staged a fake demonstration about a real issue in front of the New York governor’s office — the environmental impact of the supersonic Concorde jet. In the midst of the demonstration, the protesters were attacked by New York’s legendary Sewer Monster, created by Screaming Mad George.
This was early in his extraordinally creative career designing visual effects for bizarre, macabre, and gruesomely realistic effects. Read the full story here.

Trump’s Military Parade (Revisited) in Action, June 14, 2025
On Saturday, June 14, 2025, a defiant crew of true patriots took to the streets for Trump’s Military Parade Revisited—marching from Trump Tower to Bryant Park in Manhattan to join the No Kings rally.
Their counter-parade stood in stark contrast to the authoritarian spectacle unfolding in Washington, D.C. that same day. Wearing Trump masks and singing “Happy Birthday to me,” they mocked the narcissism of a president whose agenda is corrupt, anti-American, delusional, and designed to dismantle democracy and divide the nation.
Rain or shine, show up. Speak out. Resist. Democracy depends on it.
