A cartoon-style illustration of a punk character with a mohawk, piercings, and tattoos, spray-painting the word “PUNK” in large blue letters on a wall. The phrase “PUNK IS NOT DEAD” is scrawled beneath it in red and pink. The character looks over their shoulder with a mischievous grin, holding a pink spray paint can. The background is filled with graffiti, punk stickers, posters, and doodles—featuring symbols like a safety pin, an anarchy symbol, and comic-style figures. The overall vibe is rebellious and creative. At the bottom, text reads "#CMPUNK | Illustration by Cristina Portolano | CreativeMornings."

Our theme for June is PUNK.

🎸The description for this month’s theme is written in the style of lyrics to a punk rock song. If you know a band that wants to put them to music, we’ll feature their cover song of our punk rock anthem on the CreativeMornings blog and social. 🎵

Does the system feel broken 

Staring at our screens

Not hearing the screams

Wake up wake up wake up

We’re not meant to go it alone 

Find your people lift them up

Do what you can with what you got

Wake up wake up wake up

Your creativity can save you

What you gonna make

What you gonna change

Wake up wake up wake up

🎸🎵🧷

This theme was chosen by our Bologna chapter in Italy and illustrated by Cristina Portolano.
