Develop 30 hand-drawn thumbnails based on three different visual themes/topics on the subject of Food Insecurity.
Theme 3: America
In this thumbnail set I visually explored the theme of food insecurity in America by combining iconic American imagery with that of hunger.
Live at Vera Project in Seattle, WA on January 15th, 2023.

Soooo... still feeling a bit insecure, so I'll be posting some fluff and stuff until I get worked up enough to post the photos from all the trips and hikes we've done over the summer.
This here is my ferret. He's got a loooong history. We go way back, all the way to college. Drexel U. Fashion Department participated in a PETA competition, to design something fantastic out of fake fur. They even gave us different kinds of fake fur.
I like fake fur way better than real one, anyway, so it was fun to do. I used really fluffy kind to make a... hm, it's like a bag that you'd wear to the hippest, most radest of the parties. And it also keeps you pretty warm.
I'm getting to the ferret part, so pay attention now. I used to work really long hours in the studio, so it got lonely there, and also sleep deprivation and starvation had their effects on me. So one evening I made me a thing, which I called "ferret" out of remnants of the fur I've used for my project. It was long and tubular and reminded me of the ferret from Sluggy Freelance comic.
It was my friend all the way until I graduated. It was not the only friend, of course, but still. Now I must keep it hidden, on the account of Chime, of course. And Dominic.
Please join us for a comprehensive discussion exploring innovative solutions to combat wildlife poaching and insecurity in Africa. Congressman Ed Royce, Senator Jeff Flake, and Professor Judi Wakhungu will provide keynote addresses. Ensuing panels will examine the latest policy initiatives and proposals aimed at combating wildlife crime in Africa and remedying its ill-effects on states and communities; analyze the human and international security challenges posed by the poaching and trafficking crisis; and highlight successful on-the-ground models for conservation and security.

Or from a prescient Frank Zappa:
Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock!
Ahahahahahahaaa
Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock!
Somebody, please, please!
Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock...
Wow man, it's a drag being a rock
Help I'm a rock...
I wish I was anything but a rock
Heck, I'd even like to be a policeman
Hey, you know what, you know maybe if I practised, you know
Maybe if I passed my driving test
I could get a gig drivin' that bus and pick some freaks up
In front of Ben Franks, right!
Help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop!
(Help I'm a rock...), help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop!
It's a drag being a cop, I think I'd rather be the mayor
Always wondered what I was gonna be when I grew up, you know
Always wondered whether or not, whether or not I could make it,
You know, in society, because,
You know, it's a drag when you're rejected
So I tore the cover off a book of matches and I sent in
And I got this letter back that said, UHU, AHA

Part of art installation statement on security and insecurity in time of fear. All the objects in the room are covered in blankets these are the bottles on the bookshelf.
this project is called the "wash away project". this project is about resilience and inner strength and the ability to overcome personal shadows, an adversity or anything that has made the person feel small, out of their control or powerless. The people in these photos write the word (or words) that represented their own personal adversity or hardship they have faced in their lives. Their word is written on their face or any part of the body they choose. They are then splashed with a bucket of water to "wash away" the word that once held them back. The water represents the resilience to not let personal struggle dominate who you are and what you are limited to. They have accepted that the word is part of them but they can accelerate past it and move forward to be the person they are. You are yourself. You are who you choose to be. You just have to have the heart and resilience to make your word "wash away".

Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all that I want
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?
-You Found Me, The Fray
-- I'm single. -_-
“There was a time when we would cultivate the farms. The river would rise and flow and we survived.”
Shalle Hassan Abdirahman, a 53-year-old Somali refugee, used to plant tobacco, maize, tomatoes and sesame along the riverbanks near his family home. Now, he says, the river is dry and there is no rain. With al Shabaab banning him from growing tobacco and extorting money, despite his crops failing, Shalle and his family were forced to flee, arriving at this UNHCR reception centre in Dollo Ado, Ethiopia after a three-day journey from Lower Juba. ; Worsening drought, and violence from armed extremist group al Shabaab, has caused more than 5,000 Somalis to seek refuge in Ethiopia so far this year – four times the number that crossed the border in 2018. The extremists have struck fear into the hearts of many and the climate emergency has fuelled a cycle of vulnerability for pastoralists and farmers. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, more than 2 million people are at risk of severe hunger as Somalia faces its worst harvest since the 2011 famine that internally displaced 1.5 million people. With al Shabaab extorting money, forcing residents to grow crops that fail and forcibly recruiting child soldiers, families increasingly have no choice but to flee.

wrapped your face
with dreams
closed your eyes
and denied the tr-
you live in memories
reinventing your life
night by night
but one day
memories will be shattered
dreams won't protect
anymore
and one day
you'll have to
show your face
admit yourself
and learn that life
is not worth
any loony
overprotection of fear

This was created with the intention to look at body language and how our insecurities are read by our peers. The stance of the figure is very powerful and dominant which is counter balanced by the very private and unconfident positioning of the figure arms behind the back.
This piece was created with Oil paints on MDF board. The piece is 170cm X 120cm.
Everyone has insecurities. And everyone thinks something about them could be improved. What people don’t always know is that there is no wrong way to have a body. Our bodies are precious gifts given to us and they should be treasured. They should not be hated and put down. We were created in a perfect image and we should love what we were given. We should have self-love and conquer the fear of our bodies.
The photos in my series are showing the insecurities that people have and how when people see them they don’t seem like insecurities. It’s showing how we should realize that our insecurities are actually beautiful and unique and should never be changed. Throughout my series, there are photos of different body parts. The body parts give unique shape and in some of the photos the body parts give interesting line and texture. In my first photo, the position of the hands and face shows how she is insecure about herself and wants to change. However, the viewers see a beautiful woman. The second photo is showing how a girl wants to become skinnier. The shape of her hands on her stomach helps to create an intense mood of disappointment, showing her want to change, even though what we see is a girl who is already skinny. The third, fourth, and fifth picture have a lot of interesting shape in them. The shape of the figure shows the unique features of the body parts. It also really enhances the beauty of these body parts, which are usually insecurities. Overall, my series uses shape, texture, and lines to enhance the body and show how they are beautiful and unique.
