Do you think that Cartoons coyuld really change things in this world? Well I do. Think of how art effects people. Micheal Angelo, Charlz Schultz, TJ WALKUP? maybe...I work hard on my art, but not hard enough. Some people put out drawings constantly. I will be doing some work for the SF Street Sheet soon. I have given cartoons, sold cartoons, made them for friends, family and my self. If I ever made something like the artists in Denmark, well then I wouldd be doing something really rude but making a statement. Those cartoons weren't so bad. But the Religious Right of the Muslims were freaking out. Even Christiansd believe that "you shalll make no graven image of God". But who really gives a crap. Soem of these people are so simple minded we should never cave into what they want. Free speech is the only Holy thing. Yes cartoons will change the world. They will draw out the simple minded and the twisted into the same conversations. Robert Crumb actually tried to offend every one when he first started. Making statements and excorcising demons , so to speak. Is that the way I want to make my statements? Well...not really. I would rather ake intelligable arguments for peace and if I ruffle feathers I want it to be because what I am saying usually comes from a place of gracious disagreement. It may not allways be possible, but hey...I don't want Muslims extremists hhunting me down on public transit, or Christinas for that matter.
