Eye Candy 🍭

Every month, we change our social media headers to a new CC-licensed image. This year, we are spotlighting a different CC-licensed illustration from our #BetterSharing collection on our social media headers and the CC blog. For June, we're excited to showcase “Share Freely, Openly, Like We Share Air” by Hust Wilson for Creative Commons and Fine Acts, licensed via CC BY-SA 4.0, inspired by a quote from David Moinina Sengeh, Education Minister and Chief Innovation Officer of Sierra Leone and TED Senior Fellow.
