I've been working on a couple of things the last few days regarding George Floyd.
One of them I was working with TIME magazine, but they went in a different direction on Monday (they're going to do an oil portrait, apparently). I've repurposed the artwork into this piece. More poster like.
The names that make up George Floyd’s portrait are familiar to some… but not enough: They are:
Eric Garner, Laquan McDonald, Oscar Grant, Terence Crutcher, Dominique Clayton, Antwon Michael Rose III, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, Ronald Madison, Stephon Clark, James Brissette, Tamir Rice, Keith Lamont Scott, Anton Sterling, Sean Bell, Joseph Mann, Philando Castile, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray Jr., Amadou Diallo, Rekia Boyd, O’Shae Terry, and Breonna Taylor… they, sadly, represent thousands more who had no video to expose what they went through.
Continue to protest… but stay non-violent and work for positive change, create social justice and expose this corruption and rot within the system.
Feel free to share on social media.
The second piece I created is being considered elsewhere for publication, but I don't know the status, yet. Hopefully soon.
