I created this drawing as the first bombs of the U.S. 'Shock and Awe' invasion of Iraq began falling on Baghdad in March of 2003. I circulated my artwork on the streets of Los Angeles as an antiwar flyer, and later distributed a free online digital version to the international community as a free download. My artwork was eventually published in the 2004 book, Peace Signs - The Anti-War Movement Illustrated, a collection of international artworks in opposition to the war on Iraq. "Not Our Children, Not Their Children" was created using black color pencils on textured handmade paper, producing an artwork that looks like a classical lithographic print. The drawing was exhibited at San Francisco's Meridian Gallery from Sept. 4th, 2008, through Nov. 4th, 2008, during the gallery's War & Empire exhibit. The group show had as its theme the state of democracy in the U.S. as well as the military occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. The exhibit featured over 40 artists, including Fernando Botero, Guy Colwell, Gee Vaucher and Patrick Oliphant.

United States
I was born in Los Angeles, California in 1953, where I continue to live and work as professional artist. A painter and printmaker who creates images based on social observation and empathy for common people, I am a proponent of a new Social Realism for the 21st century. I favor craft, skill, beauty, draftsmanship, and profound narrative in art, and strive to create works that convey humanist concerns and a sense of the spiritual. I have been deeply influenced by the likes of Goya, the Mexican Muralists, the German Expressionists, the American Social Realist School of the 1930s and 1940s, and the Chicano Arts movement of the late 1960s. My commitment to figurative realism and universal themes of human solidarity and compassion are the perfect counterbalance to these chaotic times. In 2004 I founded the popular web log "Art for a Change," where I write about the intersection of art and politics; you can view my blog here: www.art-for-a-change.com/blog
