CHARLIE KIRK
Charlie Kirk was someone I never thought I’d be creating a poster for, but after seeing how violently this good man’s life was taken, I simply had to. It surprised me how much his murder affected me. This act represented how incredibly divided as a nation we are, so much so that people are will to commit murder for simply having a difference of opinion.
It took a long time for Charlie to win me over, but I remember the moment when I couldn’t deny what he’d built and he did it at such a young age. He’d amassed a huge, young, energetic following that spread throughout the country and the world. He was the real deal.
Not being interested in chasing the news cycle, I took my time on these posters. The textured look of the pieces represents the rough and tumble nature of the live one-on-one debates that he participated in on college campuses. The rips were also meant to mimic the rage and anger it must take for people to aggressively remove these posters. This was me beating them to their eventual torn up look.
REOPEN CALI
I was a good guy sitting in my apartment for long enough. Strange how most if not all of the mayors and governors who are pushing for longer quarantine time are democrats.
Is this Chinese Flu real or blown out of proportion I don’t know, but I know one thing for sure, the powers that be now know what little it would take for them to strip us of the constitutional rights we talk so much about. And if you think they won’t use it again at some point in the future you’re crazy.
If asked would I feel as though I played in the part of people’s death for convincing them to go back outside, I say no. If this thing is like the flu then we’re all going to eventually get it at some point. Staying inside isn’t going to stop that. Personally I think many more people have had this than we know.
Early february I flew from Los Angeles to New York to do Milo’s show. I sat next to this Chinese girl who was acting sketchy as hell and wearing a mask the whole way. I knew I was screwed and sure enough ten days later, just after doing my Osacrs “Parasite” billboard, I got sick as hell. Most everyone I got in contact with became ill as well. It lasted for sometime. So it wouldn’t surprise me if I’d already caught it. Considering I’m in my 50’s now makes me in one of the high risk zones so if anyone’s going to suffer this thing I’m sure I’m o the list.
So far I’ve had three V.A. medical appointment cancelled because they weren’t considered essential enough to move forward with. One of them was for a glaucoma screening. Considering I’m an artist, that seems pretty damn essential to me. How many other people have died because their treatments were put off because of these mass closing. Not to mention deaths from suicide caused by depression, financial hardships, alcoholism, or drug use. – SABO / UNSAVORYAGENTS
