A Visual Voice!


A Visual Voice: A printmaking unit tackling social injustice.

<---Artist: Colin Matthes
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.
