GUNS MAKE KIDS TARGETS.

My newest illustration for the Political Arts Initiative Blog is about the elementary school shooting on December 14th. 

As a European, I feel a disturbing alienation from American culture which allows for guns in daily life. To pretend that guns have any other purpose than to kill or wound is such a strange denial, such a medieval attitude to other living bodies. Rather than remove guns to protect innocent unarmed people, the solution appears to be, make sure everyone has a bullet-proof vest. Make sure everyone has a gun. There is no such thing as an unarmed innocent. 

People who say it is a fundamental right as granted by the constitution, which should not be taken away, are they actually convinced that they will next be robbed of free speech? Cannot they consider an alteration of law as a real step forward?

The terrifying thing is of course that, when there is a confrontation on the topic, the people who disagree are the ones with the guns..

“type design” (yeaahhh)

The third illustration for Leiden University the Hague’s Political Arts Initiative which hopefully will be published up there sometime today. Find the larger full-view here. About the drawing: 

A tally of 162 faces for 162 deaths in Gaza.

No one seems to know the precise death count for sure. When someone said “one hundred and sixty-two” it was a precise number, so I stuck to that for this drawing. This is because the news is the worst when they say how many people were killed and they only need three seconds to say it.

A small drawing of a human face doesn’t say very much about a human life.  Each face required individual attention and consideration. This took several hours, rather than several seconds. Now their imagined faces take up space for them to be considered people again.

“And unto the Lord the Devil said

You guide his sword, and I’ll take his head

Must we? Said God, who was still in bed

Can’t we stay home, and

Watch movies instead?”

GO VOTE, AMERICA. MAY THE SHINIEST KNIGHT WIN THE JOUST.

Winter winds! This is my end of the bargain in the art trade with Somer <3 It was supposed to be something wintery but my brain skipped ‘snow’ and ‘hot chocolate’ and stepped right into ‘cuddling’ and ‘quilted underwear’ because let’s be honest.

UM and I was working on this before I heard about the USA’s impending doom by Romney Sandy so.. this Blustery Goddess wasn’t meant as an insult.. consider her a guardian spirit for your darker days. Good luck you guys.
