I recently acquired a piece of art work including rights to distribute/sell(with royalty) from a local artist. I have a personal relationship with the artist and they weren't planning to do anything with he piece, so it is not as if i payed big money to get it.
The art work sent a clear message to me. I ran it past a few other people and they thought it sent the same message as I. Then someone was like, no totally different meaning and explained it to me. Upon reflection I decided they might be right. In the end I don't think it matters as that would actually just increase my market since there are two popular and relatively unrelated interpretations. With my interpretation I thought this item would be popular with 2A, "Tea Party," and the likes.
What is your interpretation of this civil rights related artwork?
Feel free to suggest changes that would increase the effectiveness of conveying the message. I personally would like to change the magazine, but have not come up with a good alternative.
I will get a copy of it with better copyright and website on it in the next few weeks if a forum member would like to use it as desktop wallpaper(I just scribbled that in paint before posting and the artist won't have time to make changes for me the next week or two). I would probably release it for similar non-merchandise and non-commercial electronic use to any currently active forum member if requested(it isn't like I am going to be able to enforce it anyways).
On a side note, would anyone be interested in a coffee mug/t-shirt with this on it? Any of you with shops even consider stocking it?
