RWANDA: PART II
SEPTEMBER 18, 2006
I did these two drawings last month for a project on the Rwanda Genocide of 1994. Even though the sketches were approved, the people I sent them to felt the final images were too strong for publication. They said this is the first time it's happened to them, rejecting a piece. Me, always breaking new ground.
They had problems with making genocidal killers into dogs. I didn't. And, well, they probably didn't want to show a dog walking on machetes instead of legs, but the sketch was approved so they knew that was coming. I originally explained all my imagery when I put the project up here. You can check the original post HERE.
You can see the new images below. I feel strongly about the project and liked having the opportunity to do two more images. It makes for a complete series of five drawings about Rwanda.
