Chapt 13: Fingerprint Ink Drawings

Michael Stewart; fingerprint ink on police fingerprint card; 8"x 8." Michael Stewart was a street artist who was killed in 1983 by N.Y. Transit Police after getting caught spray painting at the 1st Avenue Station.  This is the first I did in my Black Lives Matter series. In this series I draw dyptichs: For every one black man killed by police that I draw I draw one black police officer that was killed in the line of duty.

Chapt 12: Bullet Bees

I replaced the deadly force of the gunpowder with the creative force of paint pigment.

This is a bullet loader. This is how I seated the lead bullets into the shell casings.

Red and black paint pigment instead of gun powder.
