Description
Title: According To His Dictionary, Today I Was A Nigger [Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me I Was So Fucking Sexy?]Mixed Media: matteboard, various paper, tape, turpentine, gesso
[edit -- so this doesn't get deleted]
According to the KKK, anyone that isn't a God fearin' good ol'e boy white Christian fundamentalist is a nigger. And thus, a statement to the absurdities of racial hate, and moreso, a big fuck you to anyone that judges people on the basis of race. I'll never forget my 10th grade year in high school and getting KKK death threats in my locker because I helped form the school's racial tension troubleshooting group in the midst of rioting at my school.

It's funny how the KKK are Christian yet they target Catholics.

Ooh, dear. I feel for you, I really do. I know how horrible it is to be singled out for skin colour. I mean, when I first came to Australia from Scotland, the fellow caucasian/oriental/majority of negro students treated me well enough, but I recieved similar death threats from the aboriginal students (all manner of variations on the same statement - "Die, whitefella!"
Oh, and yes, you're very sexy!

ARRGGGGRGih....
long story turned short::: I orginally wrote this long sweet description, then I sneezed... my browser went to a different webpage. pissed off I came back and wrote a new description explaining about how I had already done it, but had to redo it. I hit the button 'Add My Comments' and it says that it can't for whatever reason. so I here I am now again, talking about how i've tried twice and failed completely, yes I am a failure... throw rocks at me if you wish. but after I am done writting this my friend I will copy the text just in case.
super quick summary on how I like this peice:
lets have sex (you would understand if you were there for the second try, it was kind of silly)

Nice work.
Not only the image, but the what drove you to create it. The fuel that lit the fire so to speak. Very prowerful.
Beat racist WASP's with big sticks. I've run into rare occasions where I'm judged for the color of my skin. People questioned more about my sexality. Since I didn't date anyone in high school that labeled me a lesbian. Makes me wonder how those people from my school graduated.

that kind of deplorable view of other human beings is sickening. they don't seem to understand that the evil is consuming them from the inside out not from the outside in. fundamentalism and rascism are perfect partners. you might want to plan an escape route because it looks like the zealots have just won the senate. it's the last days of rome. again.
superb piece. the scribbled lines and doodles, the hint of color on the colorless background, the tortured surface, it all works so well together. fantastic job here.

Now the KKK's message is, "Wouldn't you rather live with people who are like you?", rather than hating races. They are passive agressive now. But I think it's funny that even racists hate them.
I can't seem to comment on your other ones, but this lit a fire under my ass and made me shout, thus ending my speechlessness.
Thanks for sharing all these new things and ... stuff.... yea...

Awesome piece. The thumb made this look like a digital piece, but then I realized it was because you had perfectly mixed in those cut-outs of your(?) facial features.

Anyone who uses gesso creatively automatically gets high ranking in my book
Seriously, though, I love this style...so detailed and so messy, with a really geometric feel.
A nice message attached...not sure where the message is portrayed within the piece but I'm pretty sure that's mostly internal, anyway
