Artist Statement Rewrite

A Day In The Plight of a Vegan
This image represents a world consumed by carnivorous appetites and one person stands to face their opponent in the wake of their personal choice. This piece is metaphoric since the carnivorous appetite is represented by a giant meat monster and the vegan is represented by a lone hero with a carrot shaped sword. My inspiration comes from a metaphoric work by Seok-Hoon Jeong from Korea. In that peice, there was a sign bearing the statement STOP FOREST CRIME in big bold letters. The sign was merged into bark shavings at the bottom edge with a 'bleeding' tree stump overlapping the image. This piece helped me to ponder the potential I had with composing a work that expressed my personal choice in becoming a vegan.
When I was five years old my brothers and my mom were already on a healthy path. They began learning more and more of the issues faced with daily meat consumption; parasitic agents exist within meats if not properly cooked, the puss from slaughter could still leave residue on the meats, etc. Before I learned any of that, however, I was simply offered five bucks to “Leave the pig alone”. So at five years of age I became a vegan and five dollars richer. I have no regrets and will never go back.

Project 3

I've decided to revise my first project since the second project is so vague and confusing. The first project gives room to express my individuality and I don't have to conform to a specific medium. In my revision I'll keep the theme of my choice in becoming a vegetarian, but I've decided to do it in illusration. The drawing will represent my personal feelings as a vegan in a world consumed by carnivorous appetites. I will be working solo to complete this task.
Here's a work that inspired my revision.

Its designed to provoke thought on the way the image is perceived.
I want to do this with my art and make it into a sort of metaphor.

This just goes to show you that conservatives just want to conserve old views and values!
This is REAL

My Vote

I voted early and my vote went to Barack Obama. I have to say that I am proud and confident in the decision I made. Obama knows what is best for the country and he just makes politics plain, simple and fair. The United States will benefit greatly with Obama as president. That old nonsense of trickle down wealth will finally stop. The middle working class will at last get the tax cuts needed to bring the country back up to speed and and we'll have a president that is able to sit down and negotiate with other world leaders.
