Description
Middle East series again, published as an editorial comic in the Fall of 2001. Drawn in about 30-40 minutes, on smooth Bristol Board with a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil w/ HB graphite, a vinyl erasure and no visual references. The original, suggested caption mentioned Osama bin Laden and his possible improper use of the principles of Islam, as expressed in the Koran. Of course, this is a hot and debatable topic and extends to bigotry contained within other holy scripts and texts as well. If I could change the drawing a little, I'd simply spell 'Koran' several different ways (ie Quran, Qur'an or Kuran) and maybe make the character a little less cartoony.
