Moo-Mania and More, anything goes: My name is Charlie

Moo-Mania and More's latest challenge is "Anything Goes."  It seemed like the perfect time to pay homage to the tragedy that occurred recently in Paris.  The shooting occurred at the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo (think similar to Mad Magazine in the US).  Because the publication office had received threats in the past, there was always a police presence at their office. The police were among the targets in the attack, and a police car was riddled with bullets near the building.

Although I have never seen this publication, but have read they often used anti-religious cartoons, as an American, with the unalienable right to say anything I choose, I created this two page spread to honor that freedom of speech and religion, which also includes the written word.
 

I realize I can't draw, but I thought these images looked funky enough to represent the magazine.  And because my altered book is slightly larger than my scanner, here are the words I wrote:

My name is Charlie.

I stand for freedom.

They tried to kill me.

Instead, it made me stronger.

Now my voice is heard around the world.

The font I chose is called Shotgun, which I thought was appropriate.

Thanks for looking.  I appreciate it.  I really wanted to do something to show my support for freedom of speech, and this was the best way I knew how.  I hope your comments aren't too brutal, because I choose to stand behind my art and artistic statement.

Be sure to check out Moo-Mania and More because they have some extremely talented artists who make wonderful art.
