This is the final piece for the Art of Protest segment as part of the Dialouge Ignites Change brief. This was really just born out of an idea that just came to me whilst thinking about the words of George Carlin and the current state of our political system if not the human condition. I don't like protest art that looks whiney and that usually is the case for me when I see such things, instead I was more inspired by Banksy and settled for this image for its cynical and anarchistic tone.
I was experimenting in a way that I could blend spray can with brush and pen techniques so to capture those mark making qualities but for what came out from it I think Screen Printing is really the way things of this style should be done, also this image here is a reproduction of the one I handed in and took longer than a Screen Print would to produce.
Below is a clip from George Carlin's 'Back in Town' tour and album, note how he says "this is the best we can do folks".
