Diversity and Inclusion show

Here is a show that I did get into- Diversity and Inclusion: The Influence of African-American Art in Southern California at the Ontario Museum of Art. It runs from Thursday January 25th to Sunday February 25th

#1 Fight the Power!

This was my submission to the show, mixed media on watercolor. If memory serves I used ink, gouache and colored pencils

  Practical and destitute are not synonyms. Did you mean sensible armor?
  
  Oh hell, I forgot to give her the raygun! Who will listen to her protests now?

#2 me at the show

#3 memento

It is a reference to one of my favorite films, Memento. It occurs to me now that my pose looks nothing like the original...

I don't have the actual image I used on this system, even though I know it was here locally at some point in time. At any rate, here is an earlier version which I did find

  I hope your princess never has to fight oppression, unless she chooses to do so…

Okay, my French is really weak but I’m still pretty sure that means bad flower. Or possibly the naughty flower…

  When it comes to inequality, it is always better to be the oppressor; at least until the revolution comes…

    I didn’t criticize your work, just observed her face expression. I like that angry look. 🙂

It was refreshing to see an ordinary human being among your characters. 🙂

  I do my share of ordinary humans. I just mix things up a bit with sexy robots and hot elf chicks

      I don’t want to exclude anyone, regardless of gender, species or anatomy. Human, elf, robot… they are all the same in my eyes

  I don’t really like going to shows and doing webpages, I’d rather just be doing art…
