ABOUT THE ART
"The 'AK-47 Lotus' and 'AR-15 Lily' large format serigraphs are inspired by Vietnam War protesters who would put flowers in the gun barrels of the National Guard who were brought in to suppress their protests for peace. I'm a pacifist, whether that means finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid war internationally or finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid gun violence at home.
I'm not anti- Second Amendment, so trolls can calm down… I'm not interested in macho blathering, I just want fewer people to die unnecessarily. Brady United is doing good work preventing gun violence so they will receive a portion of proceeds from these two prints.
Thanks for caring."
