Peace keepers, Department of Defence and other euphemisims. Is peace really peaceful when it is enforced with weapons? This t-shirt was featured in the group ‘Things That Are Black’ in December 2009
This is a collaboration I did with Geoff Coleman.. http://www.redbubble.com/people/geoffcoleman thanks geoff…loved this photo!! this piece was probably the one that took me the longest to create ever… the lighting was difficult to blend in with geoff’s photo and each test render took over an hour … there were over 30 test renders, in addition to the 20 odd hours i spent on lighting and surfaces … i was pretty determined to make it work.

If you’re constantly exposed to it, I fail to see how it can’t affect you. / I just whipped this up tonight after being inspired again to create by Scott Robinson.
This is also available with the design in plain black – looks better on some of the lighter/brighter colours.

Bin The Cluster Bombs / More than 100 countries attending a conference in Dublin, Ireland formally adopted a treaty to ban cluster bombs – a large, unreliable and inaccurate weapon that often affects civilians long after the end of armed conflict. Some of the biggest makers and users of cluster bombs cited by human rights groups, such the United States, Russia, China and Israel, were not involved in the talks and did not sign the accord. Organizers expressed hope that those nations would nevertheless be pressured into compliance. / Source: CNN

Child’s Play – Think Again / The AK-47 Russian automatic rifle designed in 1947, is amongst the most smuggled weapons of recent times, finding its way to conflicts in the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. / In countries like Rwanda, Mozambique, Congo and Ethiopia this weapon was used by up to 100,000 children in armed conflict in 2005. Today it is estimated that there are between 200,000-300,000 children serving as soldiers for rebel groups and government forces in current armed conflicts. / Source – Human Rights Watch Child’s Play 2 /
Just a little spin off from the handgun image i was working on…mixed with talking about this expression. “words are weapons” the other day. Its kinda a bit existenz meets aliens…creepy like. Anywho, One to raise the awareness that people should watch what they say as it can hurt the feelings of other people. I could have gone the other way and called it shooting off your mouth, but hey…im the peaceful type at heart. / ;-)
Photographic based digital montage – Feb, 2008. Created over several hrs…2 nights this week (suffering from concussion) from an accidental fall over the wk’end. Photoshop montage combining digital shots of jewels, scanned samples of vintage style wallpaper and added drawn elements. Fifty layers retouched, blended, filtered, colour & tonal curve adjusted. I’m considering using the design as a furniture (upholstering) velvety/suede fabric for a small round bedroom foot stool.
