ABOUT THE ART
"'Be The Change' is a piece that I made to celebrate the Inauguration of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden back in 2009. I have some of these prints leftover and wanted to release them now, as the Obama administration leaves the White House.
A portion of the proceeds will go to the "We The People" campaign, which I consider an embodiment of the concept of "Be The Change." It’s a nice end of one era, feeding into the era of another. While I didn’t agree with every single move that President Obama made, I feel that he cares about all human beings, not just the super rich and powerful.
The incoming administration has a very different outlook. "We the People" is a push for everyone to remember our common humanity. A very limited amount of these are left over but a good commemoration. Thanks for caring and please continue to be the change."
