Sketchbook Entry Prompts for October 14
Portray a sense of deviousness with a field of roses and a kung-fu fight.
Show a woman with long nails, and a band of rebels. The piece should not contain any sort of chivalry.
This picture depicts a haggard woman and an elf and either mirrors or the texture of leather. Prompt: illusion.
Using purple colors, create a picture of a demon in a gondola. Theme: the leaves are falling.

A Visual Voice!

Presidential Debates
I never thought I would make a print about presidential elections, but here it is. I made this print for a travelling show called art of democracy.
The recent financial bailouts have have added to this pre-bailout print.
There are a few different versions of this print-black and yellow on brown, just black on brown, black and yellow on grey, and black on grey. ..they all look pretty similar.

Title: A Slingshot to Defend Your Life?
A solidarity piece with the young Palestinian children who must use slingshots to defend their lives and their land from the Israeli tanks, "Apache" helicopters and machine-gun toting soldiers who continue to invade, "settle" and colonize Palestine.
