Description
EDIT 12/16/09: A reworked version can be found here dencii.deviantart.com/art/Let-…I finally got myself into making a piece again after a long time. Been busy with my band which of course I will mercilessly promote here: www.myspace.com/40dayspilipina… I have uploaded 1 Thrash Metal track and 1 song you would wanna make love to.
On to the project: This is part 2 of what I'm planning to do as a series after the success of my John Lennon piece (which can be seen here: dencii.deviantart.com/art/John… )
MLKJr. photo reference here: www.africawithin.com/mlking/ml…
Once again, nothing but Bickham Script Pro letters, numbers and characters. Scaled, not distorted. About 8-9 shades of gray.
Next up would probably be JFK or Mother Theresa or Gandhi.
As usual you may download, share, print. Just don't steal or sell. But of course I secretly want you to so if I ever catch you, then I'll sue you so I won't have to look for a job.

I just wish a lot of African Americans would appreciate what he worked and died for. I'm talking about gangs and rappers who only care about money and power
