Work in Progress
2000 Black History Month Poster

Out of the Fog of His Oppression
Special thanks to Sam Wright.

Detail of Flag
See the faces in the stars?  When I made the flag wave it hid a lot of the faces, but there is a face in every star. 

Detail of "Black Columbia"
When I found this piece of clip art the woman was white.  I used the face of a freed slave for her face.  I decided against the wings for the final poster. 
A friend, Linda Styles, told me how she made face mask in her work and it has opened up a new world.

The drop shadow for the picture frame bugs me but it was time to move on.  I didn't like the way that Rodney and his family looked in the widow but a double dose of gaussian blur took made it look like they were behind the window pane.
