The world has stood by in horror for weeks now, watching the grand metaphor — no less than the battle between good and evil — play out minute by minute. Maybe this sickening tale grips us all because we know the potential for darkness that, obscured by an oceanic supply of love, hides sleeping within the human soul. And the utter scale of this shared experience is almost beyond the human intellect to comprehend. It is the feeling of it, not the thinking, that we grasp. These are threshold times, when the door opens for heroes …. and artists …. to do what they do best.
This soul defining place provided the emotional architecture for the portrait of Zelenskyy … to materialize my compulsion to get in the fight! Subsequent to the portrait, the poster project was driven by the drive to expand … to fight bigger!
It’s been a bumpy road actually, but so far all obstacles have been managed. Yesterday Facebook rejected my ad boosting poster sales for being too political. Bummer. But in fairness, everything I’ve posted so far has been really close to the line, so overall I feel pretty lucky.
Today I’ll start packing and shipping posters. Then after that … time to learn new stuff and find other ways to expand the reach of the poster … to keep striving … to fight bigger.
