Description
I started this collection a few days after the murder of George Floyd. I was going to do Sketchy Course of 30 Faces in 30 Days, and ended up doing this protest art instead. Each day I found the name of someone who had been killed at the hands of the police or while in police custody. I researched their story, and I drew their portrait and posted it online. I was compelled ... I did not plan this work. And most days it was incredibly sad to do, but it was something I could do instead of feeling so hopeless.
This is a snapshot of thumbnails of all of the photos after they were completed. They were displayed at our local Black Lives Matters group in Bloomington, Illinois in July 2020
