Birthday sketch for a friend. I’ll probably tighten up the hand at some point and tweak some other stuff, but in the incredibly likely event that that never happens: here it is.

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!

Drawing Muhammad for Free Speech

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Matt Stone and Trey Parker recently received a death threat from Revolution Muslim, a New York based islamic group, for barely depicting their prophet Muhammad. In response, lots of people on YouTube are posting videos of themselves drawing Muhammad. This is my contribution.

In addition, another site has designated May 20 Everybody Draw Muhammad Day.

It’s good to see people responding to the absurdity of demanding reverence and censorship through intimidation.
