Artist Statement
“The "Wake Up!" print is a simple but urgent plea for all of us to activate our moral compasses and speak up. For those who have been silent, it is time to open our eyes, our minds, and speak out for human rights and human dignity. The title and text in the print were inspired in part by a lyric from punk band T.S.O.L.'s song "Silent Majority." I worked on their just released album "The Trigger Complex" so I've been listening to their music a lot lately. I support Planned Parenthood and will be making a donation to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund to stand with the millions of people Planned
