"NOT OUR CHILDREN, NOT THEIR CHILDREN."
Vallen's latest artwork being distributed online

Mark Vallen, Artist and Founder of the Art For A Change website, has released a new drawing titled, Not Our Children, Not Their Children. The just completed pencil drawing is in memory of those innocent civilians who have died so far in the war against Iraq. The work was created as U.S. bombs began falling on that country, but the image could just as easily be about Afghanistan, Palestine, Israel, or even Sept. 11th. War is the scourge of humanity, and it's hoped that in some small way this artwork will help contribute to it's banishment.

Not Our Children, Not Their Children is available on the Art For A Change website as a high resolution 300 dpi Flyer. The image fits on a standard sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Download the high resolution PDF artwork and print it on your home computer's printer. The PDF document is located at the following URL:

This artwork is being made available for free to the international community as a contribution towards world peace (please refrain from printing this work for profit).

"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things. They're also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that's what's going to happen here." Looting, he added, "was not uncommon for countries that experience significant social upheaval. Stuff happens." ~ Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld commenting on the looting of Iraq that resulted in the destruction of Baghdad's National Museum (source: CNN April 12th, 2003).
