calling for democracy in Egypt
Artist's
statement written on Feb. 10, 2011:
"Along
with people all over the world, I have been profoundly
inspired by the heroic Egyptian people's struggle
for democracy against the 30-year old U.S. backed
dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak. As an expression of
solidarity I created an all digital drawing titled
"Freedom," so named because the word appears
in my graphic in Arabic, Spanish, and English; my
creation is dedicated to the people of Egypt, with
hopes that their democratic aspirations will soon
be realized.
I
have published my artwork as a flyer-sized broadside
meant to be distributed internationally. I invite
one and all to download and print a free copy of my
8.5 x 11 inch full color artwork, which I hope will
be used to advance the people's movement for true
freedom and democracy. Please disseminate this artwork
widely in the "not for profit" spirit in which it
is offered. You
can download a copy of my poster here
(a .PDF file at 350 dpi resolution). I released my
artwork on February 10, 2011, the very day Mubarak
announced his refusal to resign."
