We’re Not Broke poster (unused)

Friday, January 13th, 2012

I was hired months ago to work on the artwork/website for the upcoming documentary on corporate tax evasion and the protest movement against it We’re Not Broke. During the editing process (and after being accepted to freaking SUNDANCE) the executive producer decided to go in a different direction with the title styling. I was disappointed because I really liked this, but that’s the way stuff happens sometimes.

Check out this awesome interview with the filmmakers from Citizen Radio.

Rejected CFI Flyer

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

I took an online class from the Center for Inquiry last month and I offered to do volunteer artwork in exchange for reduced tuition. They took me up on it, but ultimately decided not to use what I came up with for what they requested. I think they felt like it didn’t adequately reflect the image CFI tries to project which I totally understand. I hope I get a chance to work with them in the future.

WIP – American Exceptionalism

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Here’s something I’ve been working on for a zine that my buddy Nate Bear is putting together. Hopefully I’ll find time to work on it some more, and maybe add color (the zine is b+w).

With any luck it’s self-explanatory, even without knowing the Watchmen inspiration*. It’s meant to be a graphic representation of our — specifically, Obama’s — war-mongering, civilian indifferent policies, and a satire of our self-aggrandizement.

*In the graphic novel a super-human, near-omnipotent Dr. Manhattan dramatically changes the outcome of the Vietnam war by almost single-handedly obliterating the opposition in like fashion. I’m thinking about titling this piece after a line from the book: “God exists, and he’s American.”

As this is a Work In Progress, any constructive feedback is welcome. This is an important piece to me and I want it to be as good as it can be.

Hope this makes sense to someone else!

Angela Davis

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

After seeing a clip of her during a segment on Democracy Now! about a new documentary called Black Power Mixtape I just had to make some art.

Revolutionaries near and far look to the example set by the black community – today and throughout history – in the ongoing struggle for civil and social justice. Not only for their tenacity in demolishing racial prejudice but for outspoken action against poverty and war. In this piece, I’ve chosen to highlight lifetime activist, author, and political philosopher Angela Davis. Her persistent battle for true democracy and prison reforms exemplifies the noblest aspects of black history, and serves as an example of a life uncompromised.

I’ve entered it into a Black History Month art contest and you can vote for it every day here. Every vote is matched with a $1 donation to UNCF so by voting you not only help me but help give an education to underprivileged kids!

For reminders to vote every day, you can join this facebook event or follow me on twitter. Thanks!
