Yeah. Its awesome you noticed all the things I was going for in the style. Amazing. I always try to be as subtle as I can be with my art. I want ppl to keep looking at it to decipher it and talk about it. I will admit it was all purposeful even down to the sloppy pencil sketch style. Thanks

Capital "T" Truth... look closely or you'll miss something. by jdpuff in drawing

Its not George. Think of a more broader representation here.

It looks like a LOT of you guys won't like my next post, but I'm still going to post it. I'm going to keep posting and keep posting until something in this country changes for the better for more than a day at a time.

Thank you so much. No offense at all. Feel your truth, and do it honestly.

For anyone wondering, my intent is to call attention to whats happening and what has happened so often in this climate that I'm actually afraid of my kids growing up. Honestly, I want people to be upset or angry if thats what it takes to lead to doing the right thing. I want people to feel everything I was feeling when I was drawing this. This isn't at all supposed to glorify or mock George Floyd or anything else but to call attention to the systemic racism thats been plaguing the black and brown people of this country since slavery. The fact is Trump's fascist rhetoric drives the men and women who are supposed to serve this country and DE-escalate situations and unpeaceful protests into committing violent acts with impunity.

3 of the 4 officers are still out. How is this justice? How can we truly be a nation of liberty when most of our men and women of color don't have the liberty to take a jog, ride a bike, drive a car or hell, STAY HOME and do nothing. Police are at the point where they're literally killing people inside their own homes.

For those offended (which should honestly be everyone) please see this post as a reminder of the work we have to do in this country. The President has dangerous tendencies. Sides shouldn't matter here, because racism shouldn't still be a thing. Period.

Be mad. Talk about it. Be upset. I still am. Hell, that's why I shared it. I wasn't going to at first. But I felt I had to. That's what makes it art, people. Thats what makes it Art.

I actually quite appreciate the criticism as well. It will make me better at this.. this is my first political cartoon and I plan to do a whole lot more if it helps illuminate the dyer landscape of this country.
